Nobody does hospitality and food like Southerners.
We’re born and bred to entertain, from the simplest cottage to the grandest mansion.
It’s just part of our nature to offer sustenance, comfort, and laughter to our family, friends, and strangers — who quickly become friends.
In a world that moves at a wicked pace,
take a breath…
*Pull up a chair and sit a spell.
Who we are

Just lost mom last Mother’s Day at 83. She learned from her mother who died in her 90s in the early 1980s. This recipe is the closest I’ve come to it. Absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing.
