She Crab Soup

She Crab Soup is one of those things that when it’s done well it’s really great. But when it’s not, it’s really bad. While this She Crab Soup isn’t traditional it is very tasty. It’s the perfect creamy and crabby (is that a word?) combination. I paired this one with Hush Puppies (and if you watch that video you will see when I boiled this soup over) and it was the perfect side.

How to Make Hush Puppies

Confession: I could eat my weight in Hush Puppies. They are perfect little fried doughs of bread. Ever since I was a little kid, I could make a whole meal on hush puppies. I may have grown up in West By God Virginia but every year we went to the beach and we’d go eat seafood where I’d sustain on hush puppies for an entire week.

Fried Green Tomatoes

I love Fried Green Tomatoes and every time I see them on a menu I order them because I’ve never made them at home. Well, I finally got up the courage to make them at home and I’m happy I did. Personally, I find frying time-consuming and it makes a huge mess. The mess is the part I hate. But, I didn’t have that with these tomatoes.

Pimento Cheese Grits

Grits seem intimidating to make for some reason. But it’s sorta like cooking rice. Add water, add grits, put on simmer, and 20 minutes later you have grits. In this video, Ronii shows us how she makes Pimento Cheese Grits. Basically, it’s two southern staples mashed together. Well, there’s no mashing involved, just a whole lotta yum.

How to Make Jambalaya

At first thought, you might think of Jambalaya as a Louisiana and New Orleans dish but in the Lowcountry, this one is a staple for us as well. This spicy one-pot dish is perfect for a busy weeknight.

While it’s not hard to make Jambalaya from scratch, it’s more time-consuming and expensive once you get all the spices. And for me, ain’t nobody got time for that. I used smoked sausage but you can use any protein. I just happened to have smoked sausage in the fridge. I did brown my sausage before adding it into the Jambalaya but you don’t have to do that. This can truly be a one-pot dinner. We loved this one and my only regret was that I didn’t make cornbread to go with it.

How to Make Cherry Cobbler

While I love cherries, sometimes cherry pie filling can get a little sweet for me, so I had a bag of fresh cranberries in the freezer and I dumped half the bag in with the pie filling. Let me just say, this tart loving girl thoroughly enjoyed this Cherry & Cranberry Cobbler. I highly recommend that cranberry addition!

Gumbo Party: How to make Gullah Gullah Gumbo

I didn’t really make this for a party unless you consider of the two of us in my house a party. Somedays it is, I guess. I made this Gumbo on a Sunday supper with the intention of having leftovers for another easy weeknight dinner. With just two of us in my house that worked out great. But really, it’s so tasty you probably won’t have leftovers.

How to Make Banana Nut Bread

I have a confession to make. I hate bananas. But my partner loves them and he loves banana bread. And everyone in the world is making banana bread in quarantine so I had FOMO (fear of missing out). So I decided to make this quick & easy banana nut bread and give bananas one more chance. Guess what? I still hate bananas. But that has absolutely nothing to do with this mix and is all me. Everyone in my house loved it!
