Roasted Turkey
WOW!! This is just about the best turkey I have ever had and I am not a great lover of roasted turkey. Most every turkey I have had is dry and tasteless. It can be very difficult to cook it just right because you have these big fat legs of dark meat that take much [...]

Deviled Eggs
I love deviled eggs. They are so southern. They are right up there with fried chicken, pimento cheese, biscuits, and potato salad.

Twiced Baked Potatoes
I love potatoes anyway you cook them. They have been a favorite of mine since childhood. I grew up in a very small town in south Georgia where my grandparents had a big farm. They had what all farms had back then, chickens, horses, cows, and pigs . They had a smoke house, a sugar cane mill to make [...]
