    Deviled Eggs

    11/09 /No Comments

    Deviled eggs are a must and I tend to make a crazy amount because they don’t make it to the table if I don’t! Again super easy and can make ahead.   Recipe is for a dozen but you can definitely make more!

    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.…
