Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Cookies are something you don’t want to miss! Sweet potatoes, warm spices and chocolate chips create a cookie that’s loved by everyone.

Apple Dapple Cake
Apple Dapple Cake is an old hand-me-down recipe that’s been in my files for over 40 years. It’s fresh apples and chopped pecans held together with just the right amount of a cinnamon and vanilla batter. The hot cake is glazed with a fresh, easy-to-make caramel glaze. Some of the glaze gets absorbed by the...

While the scorching hot temperatures and oppressive humidity of summer in the Deep South hang over us like a relentless fog, we look forward to the fall.

Homemade Basic Tomato Sauce
How we love our summer tomatoes. And spring tomatoes. And fall tomatoes. Our backyard tomato growing season in central Florida is spring and fall. It’s hard to keep our tomatoes going through the harshness of summer. Perhaps I’m actually a tomato instead of a person. I have a difficult time throughout the harshness of Florida...

Southern Fried Catfish
Catfish and lobsters have more in common than you may realize. At one time, they were both considered trash fish. Not worth keeping. If you could get your hands on some of my crispy Southern Fried Catfish, you’d wonder what in the world folks were thinking when they considered catfish not fittin’ to eat. Some...

No Bake Peanut Butter and Crackers Pie
A long time favorite snack for me is peanut butter and Ritz crackers. Peanut butter is good with any sort of crackers, but I favor Ritz. It seemed right natural to combine the two in a no bake pie. For a real peanut-butter-and-crackery flavor to come through in this No Bake Peanut Butter and Crackers...
