Grilled shrimp sounds simple enough, right? So then why can’t many restaurants get it right? I mean, if you work in a restaurant as a chef of all things, you should know how to cook grilled shrimp in my opinion. But I find that time after time, restaurants don’t even cook it right. I have […]
When I was growing up my Paw Paw was well known for his garden. Some summers I even remember him having a garden in two different locations. He’d get up early and water the plants in the backyard garden, then load up his bright green Chevy Luv pick-up truck (which had the most memorable horn […]
This may seem like a silly thing to post, but believe it or not there are people out there that don’t know how to make french fries at home. Yep, it’s true. It really is! I always loved my grandmother’s french fries best. Hers were just regular old fries, nothing special, but for some reason […]
What is more classic than a plain ole blueberry muffin? Not much, in my opinion. I remember when I was growing up my mom made two types of muffins on a regular basis…bran muffins (I’ll share that recipe one day) and blueberry muffins.

Not much to really say about these yummy bars, except that they are out-of-this-world delicious! I got this recipe from a sweet friend who is a member of the Junior League of Jackson and volunteers her time at the local Children’s Cancer Clinic to play with the children. They usually have tons of projects for […]
Those of you that live in the South have no doubt heard of the Canton Flea Market. Well this massive gathering takes place in my hometown of the big ole city of Canton, Mississippi! Still not sure of where it is? Have you ever heard of these movies – “A Time To Kill”, “My Dog […]
A sandwich is just a sandwich, right? WRONG! Not in my opinion at least. Take a couple pieces of bread, throw on some mayonnaise and meat and you have a run of the mill sandwich. Bleh! That doesn’t sound appetizing to anyone, except of course my five-year-old that would live off of turkey sandwiches if […]
When I was still a part of the working world before I had my children, this dip was required at every single gathering in the office. I can’t even remember who in the office originally shared the recipe, but what I do remember is that every single time it was brought it didn’t last long! That’s […]
