Mama’s Stuffed Bell Peppers
Stuffed Bell Peppers with a big old extra kick of FLAVOR! This recipe is super hearty. The smell of butter, onion and garlic in the pan just can’t be beat in my book. This is different version than your other stuffed pepper recipes. I have yet to come across one like this. Make it your own, don’t be afraid to make substitutions. I think the most important part of the recipe is making sure you prepare those peppers for baking. Its something I never did until a few years ago, and WOW did it make a difference! They are so juicy and tender, yet still in tact by the end…

The Best Southern Tuna Salad
I didn’t get to spend enough time with my Mimi. So the memories I do have of her, I really hold them dear to my heart. When I think southern cooking, I think of her. When I cook a meal every night for my family, I think of her, because thats exactly what she did. She took care of everyone. She could make a gourmet meal just off of whatever what left in the house. She was inspiring. I wish I would have been old enough to jot down these recipes she just had stored in her beautiful mind, but I didn’t. So now I do my best to make…

Eggplant Goulash
I love some eggplant. I’m constantly trying new ways to cook with eggplant and this recipe hits the spot. Its a stewy, hearty comfort dish that is VEGAN. Sometimes its nice to have a break from meats and focus on some delicious vegetables. Eggplants are so filling and PERFECT for stews. Its beginning to be the season for SOUPS and STEWS! Whats better than a nice warm meal during the cooler months? I am so happy to share this recipe with you. Enjoy!!

Jumbo Boiled Peanuts
There are VERY few things I like better than some good ol’ boiled peanuts! They say it is a southern thing, but I believe that no matter where you are from, its never to late to join the boiled peanut party train!! Every time I go home to visit Madison, Mississippi, My daddy has those boiled peanuts ready to hit the pot! I do enjoy them pretty salty, so feel free to put in less salt. Taste as you go, and don’t be scared to throw in some variation. I personally love a traditional salty peanut, but every now and then I want that KICK! If you’ve never had boiled…

Sous Vide Filet
I have used the ANOVA Precision for around 4 years now. It is by far the best tool to get you that exact temperature you are looking for. It works with any kind of meat or vegetables. I know that in the beginning i doubted myself when it came to grilling a thicker meat, and this just solved all my problems. It is a step by step when you get a precision cooker. Whether it is Wifi or Bluetooth, you download the App and from there it gives you step by step instructions. It is not very easy to mess this up! Try it out!!!! https://amzn.to/2n1yOpU

There aren’t many recipes out there as comforting as a bowl of homemade vegetable soup. Even saying the words take me back to my Nana’s house.

Even if it doesn’t, it sure does HIT THE SPOT:) I am excited to share with you a timeless vegetable soup recipe that I hope you and your family enjoy. I know mine do! xo

I am VERY passionate about some Avocado! I get excited when I hear the word. I usually eat it with a little garlic salt, pepper with side of tomatoes. This recipe is so tasty and different! It would be a great app, side dish or even main course. Healthy and gluten free! But most importantly its EASY and TASTY!! I hope you enjoy! xo

Layered Chicken Bake
Now this is a recipe I feel great about because its HEALTHY! No bacon grease in this one folks! LOL. Gluten free as well! I remember my mother doing something similar to this dish growing up. Over the years I have added in new variations. This is important when making this dish, the Worcestershire and garlic salt are the key ingredients. Its going to leave leftover sauce in the dish you are going to want to pour over your dinner bowl. 🙂 I don’t go a week without making this. Feel free to swap out the vegetables I have chosen with some of your favorites and make it your own!…

Hot Toddy
The way to kick a cold the old school southern way!! HOT TODDY! Not to be confused with HOTTY TODDY 🏈 This is the perfect cocktail for those cold football games. Put this in your yeti cup and fight that cold!!! Make a hot cup of whiskey, lemon, honey, and tea. Add a clove stick to top it off … Hot water relieves nasal congestion, honey can help soothe sore throats and suppress coughs, and the vitamin C in lemon juice helps to reduce phlegm… now the best part, Whiskey is a great decongestant — the alcohol dilates the blood vessels, making it easier for your mucus membranes to deal…

Pickled Eggs
You could pickle just about anything and I would eat it!! I do love me some pickled eggs. Healthy and filling and a kickin’ BITE! My Nana would always make some to keep in her fridge when she knew I would be coming to town. They do not smell the prettiest, but they sure are good! If stored properly in fridge you are looking at a pretty long shelf life. Enjoy!
