I had my first meat pie during my brief stint in the SCA, a group of very fun people who completely re-enact medieval times (I loved sewing my own garb!). People would make them ahead of time, wrap in foil and refrigerate, and then we’d heat them by the fire whenever someone got hungry. They [...]
Chicken Lettuce Wraps made the easy way and the inexpensive way – at home!
There used to be a little restaurant in Decatur, Alabama called The Iron Gate. My mother dearly loved that place. I remember her taking us to meet her sister there, who’d have my baby cousin with her (That baby is now a DJ in Little Rock, Arkansas – who let him grow up?!). We’d play [...]
I’m bringing you a little treasure which I discovered buried among our belongings at the old house this past weekend.

Originally written and published October 22, 2008 Two days ago, I received a call that one of my Auntlings had requested my chicken soup. This particular one, my nephew Austin, joins in with all the others in being devotees to this particular chicken noodle soup. Honestly, I didn’t think it was that special when I [...]
Today, I’m bringing you a real rarity. In fact, it is pretty much unheard of outside of North Alabama. White BBQ Sauce, even my husband (who is from a town in Georgia only four hours away) had never heard of it. A lot of folks in south Alabama have never heard of it. This is [...]
