Jambalaya

It’s no secret that I love my fellow bloggers and blog friends that I have met during NaBloPoMo. One, of my favorite people in the entire world, Jen Nelson Lane has a very successful blog called Hey Y’all. Jen and I met almost 10 years ago during graduate school at the University of Alabama. Her [...]

Aunt Nita’s Sweet Potato Casserole

So this is about the most waited for dish at my family’s Thanksgiving EVERY Year! My Granny J had 6 children, and for Thanksgiving they were all in charge of 1 thing. Nita (my Mama’s next older sister) was in charge of making this every year. Well, there was that one year that noone knew [...]

Wordless

Black Friday

Ok, gentle readers. I am still in quite a tizzy from Thanksgiving and all the mess that is Black Friday and working in retail.

Being raised in Alabama, we have peaches in Chilton County, [...]

‘Tater Pudding

I know you really have no idea what that heading means, but there exists, in my family, a dessert called ‘Tater Puddin’. My Big Mama (who was a Choctaw Indian) apparently made the world’s best Tater Pudding. I have only had hers, and yeah it is good, but I have nothing to compare it against. [...]
