These Zucchini Chips actually started out with one of those recipes that get passed around on Facebook. You know the ones. Recipes that everybody shares over and over, you have no idea where they came from, they look really good, but you just don't know whether they'll truly work. Yeah, those recipes. I kept seeing this recipe for Zucchini Chips being passed around and I just had to give it a ... read more
Tomato and Avocado Salad
There's about to be a glut of something around here. That would be tomatoes. And I couldn't be happier! A fresh tomato, picked at the peak of ripeness and eaten still warm from the sun's rays...why that's just about as close to perfection as you can get. I've always grown tomatoes. Even in the years when I didn't plant much of a garden, I always had tomatoes. However, in the place where we live ... read more
Fried Okra
Today I'm sharing with you a recipe for another Deep South favorite, Fried Okra. Now, I know that okra is one of those vegetables that people either love or hate. There's not much middle ground with okra, it seems. I fall firmly into the okra-loving group. Pretty much any way you prepare okra, I like it. In the past, I've shared my recipes for a quick side dish of Okra and Tomatoes and my ... read more
Turkey Burgers
What's better in the summer (or any time for that matter) than a good old hamburger? When cooked to perfection, a burger is one of life's great All-American pleasures. And as much as I love (and I mean really, really love) beef, I know that it's not ... read more
Lemon-Dill Potato Salad
Most people think of potato salad as a summertime dish, but it's year-round at our house. My traditional potato salad with mayonnaise is one of BeeBop's favorite recipes and I particularly enjoy it with anything barbecued. But every once in a while, ... read more
Homemade Peach Ice Cream
Homemade Peach Ice Cream is just one of those recipes that can take many southerners right back to childhood. I clearly remember buying peaches every summer at a little produce stand in Grey, Georgia, on the way back and forth from south Georgia to ... read more
Sausage Gravy and Biscuits with Tomatoes
By now, y'all know how much I love sharing old recipes with you. Nothing against new ones. I even enjoy coming up with something different on my own once in a while. But...sometimes nothing beats old-fashioned, down home, tried-and-true cooking. Take ... read more
Savory Pork Chops
Are you as busy as we are right now? I love long summer days. So much more daylight hours to get things done. Seems like having those extra hours just creates more things to do, though, doesn't it? This week, we're getting ready for our annual ... read more
Black Bean and Corn Salad
I'm pretty excited today, y'all. Because I'm getting ready to do something I've never done before. We're planning a fun vacation trip for the end of this month and, of course, we're taking the grandkids with us. Pretty soon we're all going to get on ... read more
Broccoli Salad
I've always enjoyed a good vegetable salad. I like the ones with no lettuce and no tomatoes best. I think it's because they're so different from a regular old tossed green salad. Yes, give me a bowl full of veggies, maybe a little bacon, and some ... read more
Lime Congealed Salad
Congealed salad. Jello salad? What do you call it? In the southern states, we mostly go with congealed, but you may know it by other names. Gelatin salad. Jelly salad. Whatever you call it, here's a fabulous recipe for it. No Sunday dinner, family ... read more
