I’m not sure if it is popular or “in” anymore (I’m not sure if anything I do is popular or in anymore…) but I love and adore oatmeal. In fact, the only thing I’d rather have for breakfast than a creamy bowl of oatmeal is one of Mama’s ham and cheese omelets like she used to make me.

One thing I ALWAYS do though, is cook large batches at once. I never just cook enough for one meal. I prefer to [...]

This is my family’s favorite use for leftover Banana Bread. They will actually avoid eating it the day I make it in order to have some leftover for french toast! This is beyond delicious and truly heaven sent!
Another great way to use leftover Banana Bread! This is my personal favorite, although the Banana Bread French Toast is my husband and son’s favorite. Mix up a batch of pudding from the recipe for Homemade Banana Pudding. Instead of pouring it over your Nilla Wafers and Bananas, pour it over a piece of toasted [...]

Leave it to southerners to find a way to make something delicious out of rotting fruit. Alright so “ripe” bananas aren’t exactly rotting but if you’ve seen the state of some bananas that have been behind this moist and delicious creation, you’d know what I mean.
I’m a member of a blogging community called “Tuesdays With Dorie”. Each Tuesday we make a specific dish out of Dorie Greenspan’s cookbook and post a photo of it on our blog. One of the rules is that we can’t post the actual recipe, to encourage folks to get the book for themselves. This is [...]

Hoe cake seems to be a rather elusive recipe, even among southerners. Apart from my own, I have only one friend whose family still makes it. Even among us though, the variations are vast. His family makes it using corn meal as seems to be the custom among recipes found on the web. My family’s [...]
From time to time I run across a person who has never heard of apple butter. When I am finished gasping in horror at the wasted life they have led up until that point, I make it my first order of business to slather some on a biscuit and get it to their mouth as soon as possible.
