Corn Casserole
Super easy and a great side dish! There are a ton of variations out there but I like to keep mine simple.
Bacon Green Bean Casserole
Yes I said bacon! I mean how else do you make an already great dish perfect! I don’t use canned green beans either and am thankful my hubby doesn’t mind breaking beans!
Mashed Potatoes
Being Irish the potato is a staple in my house! I love them cooked any way possible especially mashed! Enjoy this super creamy easy recipe.
Simple Cranberry Sauce
There are only a few of us that enjoy cranberry sauce so I don’t make a lot. This is a super quick and easy recipe that you are sure to enjoy!
Nana’s Cornbread Dressing
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.
Yia Yia’s Sweet Potato Casserole
AKA Goodness! I was introduced to this recipe 8 years ago and it is so darn good I can’t stand it! The sweet goodness and crispy topping make this a dish that is not for the faint at heart. It is not diet friendly either but hey, it’s only twice a year right? Hope y’all enjoy this as much as my family does.

Caviar of the South
Okay y’all let’s talk pimento cheese! Now that I am back in the Good Ole South I am introducing foods to Coop that he can’t get enough of! Pimento cheese is one of those foods! A basic recipe only has a few ingredients which include sharp cheddar cheese, mayo and pimentos. The varieties are endless however which can add, hot sauce, jalapenos, onions, and on and on. Pimento cheese can be served as a spread or in a sandwich. I made Coop a pimento cheese quesadilla the other night that he gobbled right up. Mix it with mashed yolks for a twist on deviled eggs! Again the possibilities are endless.…
