    Amazing & Easy Shortbread Cookies

    11/23 /1 Comment

    I love the versatility of shortbread cookies! I love them even more dipped in chocolate! I took these one more step and added peppermint because my little one loves it! He had one of these cookies and did a happy dance singing these are the best cookies ever! He is four so any cookie is a great cookie, but it made me smile. Anyhow, you can dip these or leave them plain. You can sprinkle sugar or other fun toppings prior to baking too. These are also the perfect shortbread cookie Christmas recipe! I know Santa will love these cookies! Enjoy y’all!   Super easy and tasty shortbread cookies! [amazon…

    Nana’s Cornbread Dressing

    11/08 /No Comments

    So this is a recipe passed down from my Nana and I have attempted to add directions as best as possible. As you can imagine Southern mama’s tend to cook everything by taste and look so it can be a challenge to get exact measurements. I made this last year for the first time and it was wonderful though a little dry. You will want your mixture wet but not swimming prior to baking. You will want to bake this at 350° for about 30-45 minutes checking frequently. This is a wonderful dish for Thanksgiving and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
