My Favorite Baked Macaroni and Cheese
This recipe was originally published in 2008, but I've updated the post and added new photographs. Its just about a requirement that all Americans love macaroni and cheese in some form and at some time in their lives, I'm no different. Growing up, my mother made a creamy homemade mac and cheese with a sauce that was smooth as silk and permeated every particle of perfectly cooked macaroni. ... Continue Reading
See The Alabama Barn Quilt Trail!

As with quilting, the creation of a Barn Quilt Trail stitches together art, agriculture, architecture, and local culture in an endeavor that provides economic, social ... Continue Reading

Ooey Gooey Cherry Bars
Whenever I go to a potluck, reunion, or get together centered around food (although I confess to not knowing of many get togethers that aren't centered around food), I like to take a dessert that everyone is going to ooh and ahh over. Something uniquely decadent, extra special, that you can't find anywhere else. This recipe has been my special go to for two years now, ever since I took one ... Continue Reading
Velvet Chicken – Low Carb & Keto!
This is a wonderful low carb recipe, well suited for a variety of diets (including Low carb and Keto). The rich velvet cream sauce will have you tempted to lick your plate! Velvet sauce is made by reducing chicken broth in a pan that you've sauteed meat in, then thickening it with a wonderful heavy cream. I first developed this sauce a few years back for pork chops but since we've quit ... Continue Reading

Many folks forego the sauce entirely because it is already juicy and flavorful so nothing else is needed. What's even better is that my version tastes just like the restaurants, but instead of a smokehouse, we use a slow cooker and boneless skinless chicken breasts! Another huge ... Continue Reading
