There are so many times when I’m writing a post and I get really excited about what I’m sharing with you. I always think to myself “Man, I hope they all like this as much as I do!”. So when I look back at the top posts from the previous year and I see some of my own favorites, it makes me very happy.
Here are last year’s top ten posts, as selected by pageviews. Continue reading »

There are a lot of times I’ve missed my Gram in the last year and a half since she passed, but this time of year it’s especially so. Gram was all about Christmas and everything it entailed from making our own fresh wreaths in her barn to baking up fat stacks of cookies to deliver to friends and family to decorating her house from top to bottom.
One of the cookies that she made every year were her Candy Cane Cookies. They were probably my favorite holiday treat that she baked and she would bring them to our house by the dozen. I’m pretty sure there may have been times I ate them by the dozen, too. Continue reading »

I’m working on a sausage cornbread stuffing recipe that I’ll be sharing with you tomorrow, and the recipe calls for four cups of coarsely crumbled cornbread. I’ve posted my recipe for skillet cornbread before but I also have a basic cornbread recipe that I learned to make after meeting my husband.
This is the cornbread recipe I’m using as the base for my sausage cornbread stuffing. Cornbread that falls apart as soon as you bite into it isn’t really my kind of cornbread. This recipe makes moist, light cornbread with just a touch of sweetness. Continue reading »
Baking cookies and other treats has long been one of my favorite holiday activities. My Gram always turned it into a real occasion, filling her kitchen with dozens of different bars, squares, cookies, drops, brownies, and fudge. She would put a few of each sweet on a platter or in a box and deliver them to friends and family all over town.
