Oct 18, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

Several years-ago our church hosted its own chili cook off. I didn’t sign up for it. I only brought chili because I don’t like beans so I wanted to be sure there was some that I would want to eat. Continue reading

Making A Meal Of Grits

Aug 09, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

One of the things that makes this recipe great is that it can be a meal on its own. It has grain, meat, dairy, and even vegetables. What more could you want? Also, unlike just normal grits, it actually is good leftover. So make a big batch for the family over the weekend and breakfast will be done for days! Continue reading

All The Good Stuff Ice Box Cake

Aug 02, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

Do you like peanut butter with chocolate? If you look at my Pinterest board, the majority of the desserts have those two flavors. This weekend I hosted a gathering of my college girlfriends and made a version of a recipe I had found a few years ago. It not only has this classic combo but also caramel AND Oreos. It was definitely the culinary hit of the weekend so I promised them I would post it first. I give you "All The Good Stuff Ice Box Cake". Continue reading

Quick, Authentic Caesar Salad Dressing

Jun 29, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

A few weeks ago I promised a recipe for Caesar Dressing and here it is. Now don't be put off by the anchovies. They are NECESSARY. The egg yolk may be a problem for some too but it adds richness and thickness. You may never want to go back to store-bought again.

Written by Beth Williams

I have always disliked hard egg yolks so it followed that I did not like deviled eggs; that was until I married into a southern family. The hub's aunt made me a convert. Here is her recipe. Continue reading

Best Ever Punch-Three Ways!

May 25, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

When was the last time you had a fabulous punch? Many years ago, my mom, Mama Gabe, did a reception for my cousin’s senior piano recital. (The man has mad skills.) Anyway, she made this punch. TO DIE FOR! This is no three-ingredient wonder, not that there’s anything wrong with those. It takes effort but, oh my goodness, is it worth it! In addition, not only can you use this recipe as a traditional punch but you can enjoy it two other ways! Bonus! Continue reading
