Aunt Sue’s Orange Juice Cake ~ From Danielle Dykman

This recipe for an Orange Juice Cake was passed down to me by my Aunt Sue, about a year ago.

Collection Of Dinnertime Bread Recipes

A classic Southern meal in the old days always included bread. Bread was a great meal stretcher and even the poorest of sharecroppers usually had the ingredients to make it thanks to the staples of 25 pound sack of flour provided by the land owners (look for a quote from my Great Grandmother Lela about this at the bottom of this post). Although I don’t have bread with every supper nowadays, more often than not we do. Here are some of my favorite dinnertime bread recipes, some classic and some new fangled. I hope you’ll find at least one or two new ones to make for those you love.
