My Favorite recipes

  • Southern Style Cabbage Beef Bake

    I don’t know about you, but some days, I just want a meal that feels like a big ol’ hug. Nothing fancy. Just something warm, filling, and full of flavor — the kind of dish that takes you back to a time when life moved a little slower and supper brought everybody to the same […] More

  • The Fried Chicken That Changed My Marriage (Well, Almost)

    Now I don’t say this lightly, but this fried chicken recipe might just be the best thing I’ve ever pulled out of hot oil — and I’ve been cooking longer than some folks have been alive. It’s the kind of fried chicken that stops conversation at the dinner table. All you hear is crunchin’ and […] More

  • Crab Cake Egg Rolls

    Some recipes just feel like a happy accident. This is one of them. The first time I had the idea for Crab Cake Egg Rolls, I was standing in my kitchen with leftover crab cake mix in the fridge and a half-empty package of egg roll wrappers staring back at me. It was one of […] More

  • Mustard Potato Poppers – Crispy, Tangy, and Seriously Habit-Forming

    Potatoes and I go way back. Growing up in the Midwest, they weren’t just a side dish — they were the backbone of most dinners. Mashed, fried, roasted… you name it, my mom made it. And she had that uncanny ability to make a 10-pound bag disappear in just a few days. These mustard potato […] More

  • Baked French Dip Biscuits – A Cozy Classic with a Buttery, Cheesy Twist

    Let me tell you something: Sunday dinners in our house growing up weren’t just meals — they were events. The kitchen would smell like comfort long before we sat down, and there was always something bubbling in the oven that made you feel like everything was right in the world. These Baked French Dip Biscuits bring me […] More

  • Slow Cooker Savory Bread Pudding with Sausage and Cheese

    There’s something about this dish that takes me right back to my grandma’s kitchen. The smell of browned sausage wafting through the house, the old wooden table covered in mismatched napkins, and that worn Pyrex dish steaming with goodness — it was always bread pudding on Sundays. Now, this version here isn’t the sweet kind […] More

  • Nana’s Cornbread — Golden Edges, Warm Memories

    Some recipes are just… recipes. And then there are the ones that carry a heartbeat. Nana’s cornbread was like that. When I was little, you could always tell it was baking because the smell of butter and cornmeal would sneak out of the kitchen and wrap itself around the whole house. Nana never measured with […] More

  • Slow Cooker Mongolian Ground Beef Chow Mein

    Some days just beg for comfort food, don’t they? I’m talking about the kind of meal that fills the whole house with that “mmm, something smells good” vibe — the kind that makes everyone drift into the kitchen before you even call them to dinner. Well, friend, this Mongolian Ground Beef Chow Mein? That’s exactly that kind […] More

  • Southern Fried Chicken with Creamy Cajun Sauce: The Kind of Meal Folks Remember

    Alright, let’s be honest — fried chicken is more than just food down here in the South. It’s love. It’s tradition. It’s that sound of hot oil popping while kids run in and out the back door and someone’s hollering, “Don’t let the flies in!” This recipe takes that good ol’ crispy fried chicken and dresses […] More

  • Meaty Sausage Rolls – The Snack That Disappears Before They Cool

    Some recipes are just… home. These sausage rolls are one of those for me. I can’t smell sage and sausage browning without thinking of my grandma’s kitchen — the windows fogged from the oven, the snow blowing sideways outside, and the whole house smelling so good you could almost taste it before you even sat […] More

  • These Caramel Cheesecake Bars Don’t Play Around

    You ever have one of those desserts that just shuts everyone up at the table? Like, people take a bite and suddenly the room goes silent — all you hear are little hums of approval and the scrape of forks against plates. Yeah, that’s these Caramel Cheesecake Bars. I made these the first time when my sister […] More

  • Pineapple Coconut God Bless America Cake

    I started making it years ago—honestly, more by accident than design. I had a box of yellow cake mix, some leftover pineapple from a Sunday ham glaze, and a bag of coconut that was supposed to go in cookies (never did). It was one of those “just throw it all in and pray” kind of […] More

  • Old-Fashioned Beef Spaghetti Pie

    Okay, let’s talk comfort food. Not the “I’ll just heat up a frozen meal and call it a night” kind — I mean the real deal. The kind that makes the kitchen smell like home and brings everybody wandering in asking, “What’s for dinner?” even though they already know just by the smell. This spaghetti pie? She’s […] More

  • Slow Cooker Creamy Alfredo Pasta

    You know, there’s just something magical about a big pot of creamy pasta waiting for you at the end of the day — especially when all you had to do was toss a few things in the slow cooker and go about your business. I still remember the first time I made this slow cooker […] More
