Pumpkin Pie Biscuits
Prior to the age of 50, I wasn’t empathetic to women over the age of 50 who complained about their inability to lose weight. I quickly dismissed their concerns and chalked it up to lack of motivation on their part. Then, one fated day, I turned 50. Oh, lawd. My clothes shrunk overnight. Overnight, I… continue reading »

Game Day Roundup – 17 recipes
If you haven’t figured it out by now, let me clue you in. A lot of folks in the South are a fool about football. I will admit, for fear of having my genuine handwritten, laminated, verified and recorded “Authentic Southerner” name badge ripped from my blouse, I’m not crazy about football.

Old Fashioned Popcorn Balls
When you stop to think about it, there’s a whole mess of food that we associate with fall. Just think of all the food festivals and carnivals that take place this time of year. My goodness.

Baked Pork Chops with Mushroom Onion Gravy

Salmagundi
I volunteered to chair a committee at our church and several people graciously agree to serve with me. We had our first meeting yesterday at my home.
