I get a little long winded in this one, y’all. Feel free to scroll down to just the recipe if you like If you’ve never had Sawdust pie before, I really do feel it could become a fast family favorite. The taste is rich and buttery, and whipped cream and sliced bananas set it off [...]
If you ever want to get a hankering to make pies, see that movie Waitress. I watched the entire thing thinking of nothing but baking. Keri Russell did a pretty good Southern accent too (thank you Kerri, and bless your heart). This is a point of contention among Southerners because all too often actors and [...]
Life should be lived with a fun spirit and a grateful heart at every turn. With that in mind, I am proud to bring you a guest post which my dear friend, Terri, sent to me back in November! Things get crazed around here and I was unable to get it up by Christmas but [...]

You see, people tended to gravitate towards our house at meal time (Mama has always made amazing meals) and my [...]
Today, I am bringing you a very special pie, for many reasons. For one, it is one of my mother’s favorite pies to make and one of my favorite pies for her to make for me! Another is the personal story behind this pie, which does get a bit depressing. So much so that I [...]
I hope my mother doesn’t read this post anytime soon. See, she has this cookbook that she uses. She has used it for years and years. She writes everything down in it and pulls it down for just about every meal she makes. Well, I’m writing a food site now and as you can imagine, [...]
The first time I remember hearing of a chess pie was as a little girl at my grandmother’s house. There was this pie on their dining room table and my grandparents and their friends had practically swarmed it until there was only a tiny piece left. Fortuantely, that piece went to me. A thick, custardy [...]
*The canning tutorial is being postponed. I will have it up this weekend. I got a spark of inspiration in the middle of the night last night which resulted in me singing Harry Connick Jr to myself at precisely 2:36 AM and yes, I swear, it has a lot to do with the canning tutorial! [...]
