    Yia Yia’s Sweet Potato Casserole

    11/09 / No Comments

    AKA Goodness! I was introduced to this sweet potato recipe by my husbands Yia Yia 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. Serve it on a dessert plate to truly highlight its deliciousness. 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

    10/15 / 1 Comment

    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.…

    Shredded Pork Tacos

    07/18 / No Comments

    Oh my word these are amazing! We are typically a 2 to 3 taco per person in our house. I had 5 and lost count how many my hubby ate! So good and easy since the pork is precooked and shredded from the weekend. (recipe here) To heat the pork I pan fried the meat with all of my seasonings and the crispy bits and tender meat was ridiculous good! Top with your favorites like avocado, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, queso, cilantro, whatever your palate desires! Serve with a side of black beans or pintos and enjoy! Pan frying the meat makes these simply amazing! Do not microwave the meat…

    Carolina Style BBQ Sandwich’s

    07/18 / No Comments

    You can’t go wrong with BBQ sandwich’s anytime of the week! Serve with slaw and hushpuppies and you have a perfect Southern meal! (Grilled Pork Recipe) There is a somewhat light-hearted feud that exists between the proponents of the two types of barbecue: Western style and Eastern style. What are the differences of the two you ask? Western Style: Western style barbecue (occasionally also referred to as Piedmont style) uses a “red” sauce/dip that is seasoned with ketchup, vinegar, and pepper, along with other spices that vary from recipe to recipe. It is most common in the Piedmont (central) and western areas of the state. This style uses only the…
