Hey y'all! I will be adding as many recipes as quickly as I can to the site. I am working on uploading family cookbooks, my personal recipes, and also tested and approved recipes from other sources. I am SO unbelievably excited to start this food blogging journey. I have so much to share with you guys and I am so proud of my family's special recipes from the South!

If you’ve never had a twice-baked potato, it’s basically like baked potatoes and mashed potatoes had a baby. Chocked-full of Cajun seasoned shrimp and cheddar cheese. The shrimp are cooked with onion, celery, garlic, green onions, and seasoned. Along with the creamiest, cheesiest, baked potato filling. Heavenly.

This recipe is loaded with warm spices, tangy citrus, and fresh veggies, making it a perfect quick weeknight dinner.

This Mixed Beans and Smoked Pork Neck Bones dish is slow cooked for rich flavor and tender meat. These beans go great with cornbread and collard greens, or any greens. If you’re not a carb hater, you can serve this with potato salad as well. There really isn’t a need for another meat, because there are plenty of smoked neck bones and sausage in the pot. However, if you really want to go all out, I suggest baked chicken.

Chicken & Waffles has become a pub Grub staple right out of the southern comfort food recipe book. The delightful combo of sweet and savory makes for a delicious meal. So why not turn this new classic into a tasty Slider and bada boom bada bing… you have Chicken & Waffle Sliders that the whole family will enjoy.

My husband was hesitant to try this because he is not big on Chicken Alfredo but let me tell you, he sure enough packed three big to-go bowls of it for work! Imagine your favorite chicken Alfredo pasta but transformed into a creamy, dreamy soup you’ll want to curl up with. It’s rich, cheesy, and full of those cozy vibes we all crave once the weather cools down. The best part? It comes together in one pot with simple, everyday ingredients!

Craving that classic McDonald's McChicken but want something even better? One bite of this McChicken made at home and you’ll be saying McDonald's Who! This version not only nails the taste and texture but kicks it up a notch with the special mayo and seasoned crispy chicken patties!

I got this recipe from one of my dear friends, Lauren. I saw her making these and they looked amazing! I can tell you that they certainly are, soft and sugary goodness!

Over the holidays, my husband and I visited his family in Trinity Texas, and his cousin brought these amazing cookies! I am usually not big on oatmeal raisin cookies but these...let me tell you, I could have hurt myself eating these. They were so soft, and the raisin and spices were not overbearing, irresistible! So, I asked her to share the recipe with me, I know you will enjoy these!

These were a hit in my household! Thick, puffy, soft, chocolate cookies made from scratch with a couple unique flavor boosts. Seriously try these out, you will not be disappointed! Remember, the brand of chocolate chips you use DO make a difference!

My husband found this recipe and sent it to me for us to try and it didn't last long on my countertop! Spruced up a strawberry boxed cake mix with extra ingredients and added a delicious strawberry crunch topping and homemade frosting; it was a family pleaser for sure!

This Toll House cookie recipe is the recipe that started it all! The original cookie recipe is still arguably the best. This is a tried-and-true recipe, is virtually foolproof, and comes out great every time! Toll House cookies bring the iconic favorite to your kitchen with chocolatey nostalgia and milk-dunking perfection! Super easy to make too!

It's more than a dessert; it's a memory on a plate!

There are endless ways to use potatoes in your everyday meals, so don't reserve this recipe for just holiday meals. Pair it with grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, ham, or even grilled steaks for a weeknight meal. Two different starchy potatoes are used in this recipe to create the fluffiest mashed potato casserole of all time!

Maybe it's just all my memories of delicious homemade meals, but nothing goes with a big bowl of chowder or soup quite like a fluffy cheddar biscuit. To my mind, they shouldn't be as buttery as a classic biscuit: a little less rich so they don't compete with the creamy broth, and a bit breadier so they don't crumble apart after dunking!

 Yummy cheesy potatoes with peppers and onions, seasoned with bold barbecue seasoning. This is a great side dish to please everyone in the family for a quick dinner during the week.

Having leftover rice is quite normal in our home as I purposely make extra and store it in the fridge for making quick and tasty fried rice dishes. However, when it comes to having ‘extra’ jerk chicken, not so much, but this is a quick an easy spin on fried rice your family will love!

This rich and hearty Zuppa Toscana is comfort food at its best. It’s loaded with potatoes, sausage, onion, garlic, kale, bacon, and cream. It is truly satisfying and irresistible. Please share the recipe link and leave a comment for me if you gave it a try and how you shared it with your family! 💞

I think this is definitely a recipe that you need to try this holiday season, trust me. It makes SO much and stores for two weeks in an airtight container! Make it a week before Christmas and hide it so that it lasts until the big day! It’s also a big enough recipe to make for a party and since you make it ahead of time, it’s perfect!

If you love crab like I do (lots of meat, little breadcrumbs) you will just flip for these. The crab is the true star, but spicy and citrusy notes make it really shine. Whether you serve them with buns and beer, or topped with sprouts and a sparkling cocktail, it’s up to you!

Can’t get enough of your favorite cocktail? Turn it into a snack with this zesty Bloody Mary dip. This party appetizer starts with a tangy blend of cream cheese and tomato paste, has a dollop of mayonnaise for extra creaminess, and a kick from crispy seasoned bacon. The classic Bloody Mary flavors are all there with a touch of celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, and a squeeze of lemon juice. For an adult spin, add a splash of vodka (it adds a nice tanginess).

Apple butter is one of the most fabulous food gifts to make and share during the autumn season. It has a fresh apple flavor, with deeply spicy undertones, and an ultra-silky texture. Plus, it's surprisingly simple to make and lasts several weeks in the fridge, or even longer if you can it. From quick breakfasts to apple desserts, you'll find dozens of ways to enjoy this cozy spiced spread.

Cornbread is synonymous with the South. When you think of the South, you think of delicious and moist cornbread. We eat cornbread all year round, and when the weather begins to cool down. You can find us eating a big ole bowl of soup or beans with our cornbread. It literally goes with everything, from collard greens to tomatoes, rice, and sausage to a delectable roast during a Sunday dinner with family and friends.

There's no recipe here, just an easy entertaining idea to beat this heat! These are made with Mike's Hard lemonade Strawberry Margarita. The traditional margarita made with tequila needs a much colder temperature to freeze than regular home units will allow. Instead of using the salt and worrying about it melting, you can use chunky crystal sugar for an aesthetic effect, and it won't melt. Enjoy!

Man oh man, this is a great party favor to have! My husband and I enjoy spending time with our friends outdoors doing recreational activities. We ride ATV's at mud parks many times throughout the year and a favorite thing to bring is moonshine. During the day we ride trails and get MUDDY and watch people race against each other in the bounty holes. At night, we all gather around a fire with good music going and great conversation and pass around some jars of moonshine!
