Around here, the skillet stays hot, the coffee stays strong, and second helpings are encouraged.

As any Southerner knows, the best stories and recipes are passed on and swapped in the kitchen. It’s the heartbeat of the home.

This space is a collection of my all-time favorite recipes ~ the ones scrawled on old index cards, passed through generations, or made up on the fly when someone was hungry and storming the cabinets.

Some came from my Mama, Granny and mother-in-law, Ms. Jane ~ but a lot of them were born out of love, experimentation and necessity.

Feeding folks is my love language…and I love a lot.
