Southern Sweet Potato Casserole

If you ask anyone in my family which side dish means it’s really, truly “holiday time,” they’ll holler Sweet Potato Casserole without missing a beat. It’s a dish we can’t imagine Thanksgiving—or honestly, any big family potluck—without. There’s just something about that dreamy, creamy sweet potato base and the crunchy pecan topping that makes you feel instantly cozy inside (my sister’s been caught eating it cold for breakfast, and she’s not even embarrassed). I’ve tweaked my recipe over the years, picking up little tricks from friends down South, but the basics stay classic: smooth mashed sweet potatoes, a pleasantly sweet …

Classic Southern Caramel Cake

5752 Views

Growing up in the South, I’ll tell you—there is simply nothing like a homemade caramel cake gracing the kitchen counter, especially when you know you put in the time (and just a little bit of love) to make it yourself. My granny used to say that every Southern woman should have a caramel cake recipe tucked in her recipe box, right behind her biscuit recipe and somewhere close to her best chocolate pie. If you’ve never had the sort of caramel icing that melts into a cloud when you slice your fork through a soft, tender cake layer—friend, you’re in …

I can say with total honesty that Salisbury steak is one of those dishes that makes me think of Sunday dinners with the family—maybe that’s because my mom would always make a big pot of it on slow, cozy afternoons when everyone was a little tired, a little hungry, and really just wanted something deeply comforting. And there’s something about seeing those juicy beef patties snuggled under a blanket of rich, savory mushroom gravy that makes my heart do a little happy dance. (Sometimes, I’ll sneak a taste of the gravy right out of the pot. Don’t tell.) What I …

Tomato and Beef Macaroni Soup

There’s just something so nostalgic about walking into the kitchen and catching the smell of beef and macaroni soup bubbling away on the stove. It always takes me straight back to chilly fall evenings—my brother and I trudging in after tackling leaf piles, faces all pink, just in time for Mom’s “hamburger soup.” There we’d be, cradling our steaming bowls, savoring every bite and trading stories about the day. Now, whenever I’m feeling a little worn out or the weather’s dreary, this is the recipe I pull out. It’s hearty, loaded with flavor, and somehow feels like wrapping yourself in …

There’s just something so cozy and satisfying about that tender, pull-apart beef swimming in rich, savory gravy, especially when the scent has been wafting through your kitchen all day.

I don’t know about you, but I grew up in a house where a pork roast meant something special was happening—a birthday, Sunday supper, or just one of those random “let’s spoil ourselves” days in the middle of the week. But once I discovered my Aunt Tilda’s Old South Coca-Cola Pork Loin (yes, the secret ingredient is exactly what you think), it became the showstopper for every family get-together or potluck.
