Food connects us to memories as strongly as it creates them. These chocolate sugar cookies (spiced up with some optional cinnamon and cayenne) whisked me back to childhood.

Fall just calls for all things cozy and comforting. This is the perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee and a good book. Not too bad with tea in the afternoon either. It keeps beautifully in the freezer, but that will never happen because it will be gone in a snap.

Classic. Southern. Simple. Pimento Cheese is the perfect bring-a-long to a gathering and a go to in the fridge. A satisfying snack with veggies or crackers. Fantastic topper for burgers and eggs. And a coveted lunchbox sandwich. The best part…super quick to make and keeps well (though it won’t last).

Nothing I like better than an unexpected veggie side dish, vibrantly flavored but a snap to make! Bags of cauliflower rice make this effortless and I promise you will struggle not to gobble it all up.

Tis the season for ALL the cookies. Cookies to share. Cookies to leave out for Santa. Cookies to enjoy with a cup of tea, hot apple cider, or a tall glass of milk. Some spicy, some fudgy, but all just the best in Christmas traditions.

When I married my southern hubby, cornbread became more of a staple and less of a “oh you made cornbread” moment. There are thousands of cornbread recipes out there...many that I have made and love...but, this is the one I was taught to make by my Grammy in her Wagner cast iron skillet (Oh I miss that skillet!!). The best part, her cornbread is straightforward so the perfect base for me to add all sorts of stuff (fruit, cheese, herbs, aromatics, veggies, etc) to fancy it up.

My mom and grammy called this mandel bread, but I always heard mongrel bread which always caused snorts of laughter around the table. Whatever you want to call it, this is a cup of coffee’s and a lazy morning’s best friend. This is a terrific recipe to make with your kids. I still remember shaping the dough and getting flour everywhere! There are many versions of this recipe, but here is the one I grew up with (we didn’t add chocolate chips but an easy add if desired).

I smash the meatballs on pita bread that has been spread with hummus and tzatziki sauce. Some mixed greens and even pickled onions if I have them on hand.
