None of us want to end up like A Christmas Story and have the neighbors dogs eat the Turkey and your entire family end up at the a Chinese Restaurant on Christmas Day(unless of course you plan to end up at the Chinese Restaurant!). Over the past few years I have asked every good cook [...]
I have to start this post with an explanation…. I am southern, my husband is midwestern. Mark grew up in Minnesota and his parents are originally from North Dakota. There are some differences and some similarities in the recipes and food traditions of our childhoods. But one thing that is different is “hot dish”. When [...]
I love to bake around the holidays… a gift of food to friends and family or a little something to add to a holiday party. There is always someplace to go and take a little holiday joy. Sausage balls are a family favorite in my family. My dad remembers his mom making them every Christmas [...]
I thought I should share with y’all a photo of my dad, the farmer, in the title of this blog! My dad was in Atlanta this weekend while I was there for work and we all went shopping. Check out his great new scarf. Get it {here}! This is a photo of him headed out [...]
Look at these eggplants! Yum! Most Saturdays I make a trip to our local farmer’s market in Seaside, Florida. I love to go and look at all the gorgeous local food and think of dishes to create using the local ingredients. With the eggplant above I fried it. I know I could have been healthier [...]
I LOVE OYSTERS… I really do. It is great to live on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico where there are oyster bars. We love to run over to Apalachicola for a weekend getaway where I love to eat the oysters that are fresh off the boat. I love oysters either raw or baked. [...]
Sage cream corn is one of my family’s favorite sides. A friend introduced this recipe to us while she was visiting us a couple years ago. It is also the base for a pasta I will show you at a later date. It is great all year but I made it for Thanksgiving this past [...]
ok… I know you can’t eat it but I love this photo of the cotton field from my dad’s farm.
Hi all! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had 23 people in our home. It was a great day. So much good food was had by all. I will share some of the recipes and our fun table decor with you over the next few days. First, I want to share the recipe [...]
I am so happy my sister, Maggie, found this article at my grandmother’s house. I remember this day like it was yesterday. It was 30 years ago…. I was 5 years old. Mom made her Apple Crisp for a local recipe contest. She won! My mom winning was very, very exciting to a 5 year [...]
