You asked for it, so here it is!! Yayyyy for another salad dish!!! (say yayyy!…. SAY IT!!!) I’m in rare form today so bare with me. “I been drankin, I been drankin” just kidding. That Beyonce song has been in my head all day. Anyway what were we talking about? Ah yes broccoli salad!!! Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies so it’s no surprise
Soft, fluffy, buttery, golden southern buttermilk biscuits! It’s enough to bring a man to his knees. Or so I use to hear growing up. I snagged my husband with the help of chocolate chip cookies so I can’t really vouch for biscuits. Although these southern buttermilk biscuits are heavenly and my husband did ask if I’d make them everyday to which I lovingly replied “AINT
“OMG I’m sooooo freakin fat today!!!” is what I was saying last week. Do you ever have days like that? When your clothes don’t look/fit right and all you wanna do is lay around and eat cake and cookies all day? Well that was me last week. Meanwhile my hubby is sitting at the table looking fit and trim while munching on a green salad.
I have a serious emotional connection to southern fried apples. There is just something about them that takes me back to childhood Sunday mornings. Every Sunday my grandmother would make a fully loaded breakfast that consisted of butter grits, homemade biscuits, scrambled eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, and yes, some good ol southern fried apples!! That sweet, buttery cinnamon aroma drifted and lingered throughout the entire
Yummy yummy for my tummy!!! That’s how I feel about a good ol’ pot of southern homemade mashed potatoes. You’d think I make them often as much as I like them but I don’t, usually for special occasions. These mashed potatoes are really easy to make and turn out perfect every time. They are so light, soft, creamy and fluffy yet thick, just the way
I wish my waist-line loved dinner rolls as much as I do. It CLEARLY does not, but I’m just gonna have to worry about that later because the words for today are: SWEET DINNER ROLLS!!! But not just any sweet dinner rolls people. These uh-maaay-zing homemade honey butter dinner rolls. They. Are. Everything! Everything I tell ya!! Soft, golden, buttery, squishy, chewy, yeasty, sweet, dinner
These twice baked sweet potatoes are like individual sweet potato casseroles. People simply love them! If you’re having a small Thankgiving gathering these would be a perfect side dish. And yes, forget what you heard, twice baked sweet potatoes/sweet potato casserole are side dishes not desserts! Hey I didn’t make the rules but I’m so glad somebody did because it really is like having a
There is something about vegetables roasting in the oven that puts me in a good mood. I know, I’m weird. I love everything about oven roasted vegetables, from the smokey, slightly sweet, nutty taste to that rustic appearance. They make me happy and don’t even go throwing in a roasted chicken because then I get super happy! Ahhh the aromas!! Fall is HERE folks!!! (I
I’m currently in the process of helping one of my readers plan a tea party themed baby shower. The minute she asked me for help creating an amazing brunch menu I knew these cheddar herb muffin bites were a must. Besides being so cute and perfect for a tea party baby shower, they are downright addictive. These fluffy, golden muffins pack a big cheesy flavor
I have a confession. Ready to hear it? Ok….whew. Here goes… I’ve been really, REALLY naughty this past week. I ate 2 dozen triple chocolate cookies, 1 HUGE slice of carrot cake, red velvet cake (just a small slice though) can’t even tell you how many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on soft white bread I had, drunk almost a whole jug of Simply Apple
I had my baby last week and I’d expect for the food cravings to disappear but nope, I’ve been craving pasta salad since I left the hospital! During the summer time I could seriously eat pasta salad every. Single. Day. I’m always on the lookout for yummy pasta salad recipes. This taco pasta salad is one of my favs. It has a light, refreshing taste
When I was vacationing in Myrtle Beach a few months ago I had the pleasure of eating this super yummy caesar pasta salad. I can’t remember the name of the place to save my life but it was a little pizzeria close to our hotel. I didn’t really have high hopes for the pasta salad, just wanted a side dish besides wings or breadsticks. To
“What! You didn’t use any meat in these greens? Yeah right!” is usually what I hear when I serve these vegetarian collard greens. They can stand right up to my soulful, southern style collard greens recipe with it’s head held high. They are bursting with flavor and yes, even the pot liquor is bangin! : ) This is my favorite family recipe for collard greens

Cheese + Rice+ Zucchini= 1 Easy & Tasty Side Dish! I use to love this dish growing up. It was so creamy, cheesy and downright comforting. My grandmother added diced tomatoes and it made for such a pretty little presentation. It’s been about 10 years since I’ve had cheesy zucchini rice but when I stumbled upon a similar recipe on Karly’s fabulous blog
