  2. Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn and buttermilk biscuits speak home and love to me.

    • Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, etc. are not really “Southern” cooking. My mother was half German and meatloaf was one of our favorite dinners when I was growing up in Pennsylvania. Meatloaf and mashed potatoes is no more Southern than I am.

  4. OMG I’d been searching for some good old Southern Home Recipes and it doesn’t get any better than these home cooking recipes, Roasted Red Pepper Pimento Cheese, Barbeque Chicken, and Southern Fried Pies. They remind me of my Grandmother’s home cooking! Simpy just YUMMY!

  5. My goodness it has to be good ‘ole Macaroni and Cheese, an all American favorite 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity!

  7. Baked chili – basically a really thick chili cooked in a cast iron skillet. And what neighbor kids and family friends called “June Colip brownies”. Friends still rave about them.

  8. Southern style Potato Salad reminds me of family barbecues especially around the 4th oh July. I’m a southern gal through & through!

  9. Pot roast and veggies always brings warm memories of the Sunday dinners at home!!!!!

  23. My grandmas chicken and noodles and mashed potatoes remind me of home! She uses real butter in her potatoes which is why they’re the best.

  24. The dish that best reminds me of home would have to be “Mississippi Mud Cake”! Even though I have tried many times to replicate my Mom’s recipe I have yet to conquer it.

  182. Every Sunday, it was Fried Chicken with all the sides of mashed potatoes and green beans; take me back to my childhood.

  183. my mothers pineapple pudding ! I have always disliked bananas and she would make me this it is a lot similar to banana pudding except she used pineapple. No one I know has ever heard of it – must be a Georgia thing lol I remember it had egg white meringue and she cooked it in the oven.I would die for some it ! Unfortunately she passed away when I was young and I didn’t get any of her recipes. The saying is true no one cooks like your mother !

  185. I like almost everything in my slow cooker!! but I especially love the pork! It is so juicy and tender!!

  191. We grew up on a farm. So there are lots of things that remind me of the farm that we do not make anymore. One of my favorites was Chicken and Dumplings – this is NOT healthy. It was made with good old Crisco.

  193. What reminds me of home? I’d have to say slow roasted BBQ ribs and sauerkraut. Or pork roast with canadles!

  195. Pork Roast and Veggies – we most often had a roast and veggies for Sunday lunch after church.

  196. I’d love to try the backyard barbecued chicken. It’s what I always try at any fair.

  197. I would have to say the Cajun Chicken! After living in Louisiana for five years and now back in New England, I love the cajun flavor!!!!

  198. Chicken and dumplings all the way for me, honey! Love my childhood memories with my great aunt Ruth out in the farming community when I was growing up. Boy, she was the BEST COOK ever!

  200. My favorite recipe that my Mom makes is Creole Grillades. I make it also, but mine just doesn’t taste like hers!

  209. “Charcoal” steaks and overcooked veggies, were my mom’s specialty! 🙂 No wonder I disliked so many vegetables as a child. Loved her dearly, but she’d cook those veggies within an inch of their lives! And the steaks were very tasty – with a pat of butter on top, for extra yum factor.

  210. The Cajun chicken was amazing!!!! Can’t wait for the Mississippi mud cake!!! Sounds delicious!!!!! What’s better than an easy cake loaded with chocolate!!! Mmmmmmm

  216. Because of the US Navy I am now a Northern transplant, so all the recipes remind me of my southern home.

  217. Fishcakes! Use Grouper cheeks or Cobia throat (so tender!), patty the cooked fish with grits, cornmeal, seasoning and egg. Fry, butter while still hot and serve with tomato gravy. SO good!

  218. My favorite comfort food dinner is mini meatloaves, mashed potatoes, snap green beans, sweet corn bread and dessert, vanilla ice cream with fudge topping.

  221. The dish that most reminds me of home is meatloaf. It has to have a side of mashed potatoes with lots of butter, greens and Jiffy mix cornbread. Top it all off with luscious peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream….mmmmmmm 🙂

  223. I don’t know what recipes are in the cookbook but two meals remind me of my momma and Sunday family dinner – lasagna and fried chicken with mashed red potatoes & creamy gravy. Both make me drool!!!!!

  226. Southern fried chicken and mashed potatoes with homemade chicken gravy takes me back to early 70’s when mama would fry tons of chicken for a crew to feed, remember walking home from friends house and you could smell it a few houses down and sneaking to stove and picking some crust off already fried chicken, still can see the plate of piled high chicken, those were the days.So good!

  228. My mother was German so I didn’t really grow up eating Southern, however, I am from GA so the love of Southern food is part of my soul!! My favorite Southern meal to cook is Chicken and Dumplings, black eyed peas, collard greens and cornbread. YUM!!

  229. Home to me is beef roast with potatoes, onions and carrots; then some gravy on it.

  231. Love the recipes that come in my inbox! Always looking for new dishes for the family! Great way to have awesome dinner after working all day!

  233. Chicken and dumplings, a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, and well worth the effort.

  235. Pork roast, sauerkraut, and dumpling with plenty of gravy. I couldn’t wait to go to grandma’s house on Sundays…she was the best cook. She also made the best Bohemian hoska bread. I love receiving the daily recipes. I use them all the time for our “Family Dinner Night” on Tuesdays. Thank you.

  238. My mother is a FABULOUS cook, but when I was growing up we never even owned a crockpot. (I myself have four!) The dish that reminds me of home? Chicken and dressing, which she made often … which is an odd choice for me, since my mama is from the Philippines and we ate a LOT of Filipino food … lol … but I always loved her chicken and dressing more than anything 🙂

  239. Pot Roast is my favorite!! I didn’t really grow up with a lot of Down-Home cooking and as I grew up, I fell in love with it and have millions of Pot Roast recipes. My absolute favorite recipe is Mississippi Pot Roast!

  242. The peas, tomatoes, and corn bread on the cover remind me of home. They are my favorite.

  244. Chicken and Dumplings, for sure …… also LOVE collard greens!! AND fried chicken ….. AND corn bread …. my gosh! I’m sure I’d like ALL of the recipes!!

  245. My MawMaw’s black eyed peas, collard greens, country style ribs with fresh cornbread. There would always be fresh sliced onions and tomatoes and a jar of cheyenne peppers, the vinegar sauce poured over the veggies and a pepper on the plate.

  248. Roast and Veggies! Every Sunday we had pot roast made with potatoes, carrots and onion plus corn, green beans and cornbread. And of course sweet tea! Mama passed away 12/7/88 but I can still taste that roast! And to Shannon that commented earlier: ditto, I can’t make my mamas chicken and dumplings either and I sure miss them!

  250. Anything including beans, greens and cornbread, and any garden fresh vegetable!

  252. meatloaf with homemade mashed potatoes and green peas reminds me of home. love your blogs and posts.

  255. Sounds wonderful, always looking for new recipes that are easy but still have taste.

  256. i love every one of MARY’s recipes .
    If I have to pick a fav, I’ll pick her Baby Back Ribs, baked beans, and slaw with her Peach Cobbler for dessert!!!

  259. Being from South Louisiana originally, my favorite was my mothers Gumbo (any flavor).

  261. Southern Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and fried cornbread! YUM!

  262. The crockpot pork roast & veggies are certainly a dish that reminds me of my mom and the comforting feel of home

  264. There are so many, my Mother was such a great cook. I’ll pick meatloaf with mashed potatoes, green beans and cole slaw. Also, I’d like to add that I have followed Mary for a long time and I love her recipes!! I hope to win her book and hope it will be signed by her! Thanks!!

  266. Southern fried chicken, would be my favorite. My dad was from the south so, southern food was always cooking in our house when I was young.

  267. The dish that has always reminded me of home is a Southern dish called Chicken and Dumplings. I remember my Grandmother making this as a child

  269. Growing up on a dairy farm where we raised our own beef cattle, pork & chicken as well as fruits & vegetables I can not pick out one dish that says ‘home’ more than another. Anything with fresh strawberries or tree ripened peaches would be close to the top of the list though.

  274. LOVE the hearty breakfast casserole. And my boys devour it! Way to keep my family happy and satisfied till dinner!

  276. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes or potato salad, green beans, fried corn and biscuits or cornbread

  278. I’m not from the south; but, have always loved southern food – gumbo, jambalaya and anything “southern” that is different from the way we make it in the north.

  281. My grandparents moved to Oklahoma from Georgia. I still have a number of the family recipes. Chicken with homemade Dumplings is at the top of my list!

  282. the best crock pot beef atew with corn bread and sweet onion reminds me of home and mom’s cooking.i love it and love to cook & try out new thing’s.

  283. Wow…I must say most all of these recipes bring back the wonderful smells and memories of growing up on the farm. My mother was always cooking something when she wasn’t working. She had to feed 11 hungry kids who just didn’t know how to be patient. Lol
    She taught me to cook as well as everything else but my love for cooking has caused me to be a collector of different kinds of cookbooks. I’d love to have a copy of this one to add to my collection. My most favorite meals was fried chicken, mashed taters, and sweet corn on the cob. Yummy! Makes my mouth water as this very moment. Lol
    Sorry my comment was so long. 🙂 🙂

  284. My Grams cast iron fried chicken and summer squash, potatoes and gravy. Awesome memories…

  287. In my last comment yesterday, I forgot to mention that my grandma used to make cracklin bread that was so good. She also used to make cream of wheat with butter in the mornings for me, because grits were not available yet in S. Calif in those days! When we lived in Baton Rouge a neighbor made turtle stew and invited us to dinner… I don’t eat just anything, but it was delicious! But my all time favorite Cajun/Creole dish has to be Jambalaya.

  291. Chicken and Dumplings, Also Pinto Beans with Fried Potatoes and onion. We ate these 2 dishes a LOT…

  297. I think the foods that remind me of home are cream potatoes and corn and potato chowder.

  299. Love the crock pot roast and veggies. I always think of home when I smell it cooking. It was the first thing I learned to cook when I was in the fifth grade. I would put it on right before church on Sundays and loved the smell when we returned back home.(P.S. I had 6 brothers and sisters so it was a fast easy meal too !!)

  302. Turnip Greens! The fresh from the garden kind that has turnip roots cooked in it!

  304. I would love to have the Traditional Southern Style Potato Salad, as it was one of my favorite dishes that my mother made when I was growing up in Alabama. I’m sure it would have been considered Southern Style, also.

  311. Traditional southern style potato salad reminds me of vacations to Missouri, Tennessee. South Carolina that we used to do as a family in our R.V. And eat all that southern food so good!

  312. Chicken and dumplings remind me of home and my mom she always made it for me on my birthday because it was my favorite and still is 50 years later.

  313. Mississippi Mud Cake. My daughter’s favorite birthday cake. My son=in- is from GA and I would love to make him some deep south dishes.
    Thanks

  317. I’m trying her Cajun chicken this weekend. I cook German Southern style with a little Mexican thrown in. What I like is how easy her recipes are to put in the crock pot and be ready when the family comes over. We need the easy preparation as we begin to age and still want to cook for others.

  319. Growing up I always loved that we went to my grandmothers house. I remember her chicken & dumplings! They were wonderful.

  320. Thanksgiving dinner, before my mom past away ten years ago, she finally gave me all her recipes for it. From the homemade dressing to the Jam cake my great grandma use to make, that I always asked for on my birthday.

  322. My Mom’s potato salad was the best! She made a cooked dressing to put over the potatoes. I’ve never been able to duplicate the wonderful taste of her potato salad!

  323. Pinto beans, turnip greens, creamed potatoes and fried chicken! Reminds me of my childhood and family gatherings. Precious memories since I no longer have either parent.

  324. Potato Salad, Collards, Fried Chicken….and the Breakfast Casserole has been a tradition in our family for many years! I sure would love this cookbook, and thanks for the chance to win it!

  325. My dad cooked a lot when I was going up, I’m not saying that mom couldn’t she made yummy ones too. But the dish I remember was smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Green Beans, and onion, and two of my kids make this dish too. I love all Southern Cooked dishes.

  327. Fried cornbread, slow cooked pinto beans with smoked ham shank, mac n cheese, and greens!!!

  334. Southern casseroles are the best. They can contain loads of good for you veggies and stretch the meat budget. And they make enough so there is always enough for 1 more guest.

  339. The Hearty Breakfast Casserole sounds very homey! Thanks for the chance to win!

  344. OVEN FRIED CHICKEN, MASHED POTATOES WITH GRAVY, BUTTERMILK DROPPED BISCUITS. COLLARD GREENS, GARDEN SALAD AND A TALL GLASS OF FRESHLY SWEET TEA OVER ICE.

  345. =================== Southern recipe cornbread (with no added things like peppers etc) is just the best. Sweet, melt in your mouth

  347. My grandmother’s peach cobbler, especially when served following my favorite meal she would make me: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, baby butterbeans, fresh corn, slaw, sliced tomatoes, biscuits and gravy, with iced tea. Oh, I am going to go cook now….

  351. chicken and noodles and dumplings with buttermilk biscuits and mashed potatoes, yum

  356. My favorite meal that reminds me of home is the red beans ( pinto beans) with diced salt pork added and then we had Chinese taco’s and a chief salad. Oh so good. I really miss those family meals.

  357. Grilled Backyard Barbecue Chicken is something I have always aspired to do correctly and usually failed miserably at. This new recipe will prove extremely useful in making my outdoor parties move beyond the steak, hot dogs and hamburgers that have become my norm.

  358. Hands down…. meatloaf and mashed potatoes with homemade biscuits and apple butter!

  360. Pot Roast, mashed potatoes/gravy and lots of carrots. Meal made in heaven. My mom would put fresh dill in her mashed potatoes. Top the meal all off with a huge glass of ice cold milk. 🙂 Don’t forget that “Mom Hug” to let you know all is right with the world.

  362. Don’t know if she makes this or not but wish she did its liver and onion mom make it all the time growing up in the 50 so would love to see it in a slow cooker book thank you

  365. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with milk gravy, fresh green beans and homemade biscuits and honey.

  366. Got to be chuck roast with veggies and gravy! Must have cornbread with that!

  368. I remember the pork roast & veggies that my mom made. I haven’t found the recipe she used in her recipe box, so I’ll add this to my collection.

  369. My favorite is the one that leaves me with lots of time for the other million things I must do in my day other than cook…LOL…all kidding aside it is meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

  373. Everything on the front of the cookbook! Looks just like my Grannys food. Boy do I miss her.

  384. Mine would be fried pork chops and wilted lettuce with some taters and homemade gravy!!!!

  386. 32 years ago I received my crockpot as a wedding gift and am trying to learn how to cook in it. I
    have only cooked Corn Beef and Cabbage in it all these years, but just cooked the Corn Cassarole recipe for a potluck last week and everyone loved it. I had only cooked it in the oven before. The crockpot recipe was better and so moist.

    • DeAnna-
      So glad you loved it! I am a huge corn casserole fan and I much prefer it in the crock pot too! We make it every holiday that way. Good luck on your slow cooking adventure and I hope you enjoy the site! ~ Cris

  390. My mom always made homemade Ham & Cheese rolls. They were big like a pepperoni roll, but stuffed with boiled ham & Velveeta cheese chunks. They are good warm, cold, with or without butter. I think d to get her to make a batch for my birthday. =)

  394. Love to use my crock pot year round. That cajun chicken reminds me of home along with corn casserole. My Dad being a southern cook would of loved it too ..

  409. Being a firm believer that potatoes are the ideal snack (as well as a #1 side-dish of course, LOL) just the recipe names alone of “Traditional Southern Style Potato Salad” and “Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole” had me salivating! My game plan for the family would be to make 2 crockpots each of these particular recipes and freeze the 2nd makings for thawing then a gentle reheating in the microwave. I do hope they’ll freeze well and stand up to the microwave reheat. Yummy, yum, yums.

  412. My Mom used to make a pork roast with sauerkraut and we always seemed to have it on New Year’s Day, don’t remember why, but it seemed to be a tradition with my Mom, wish I had asked her why. Loved how the house would smell why it was cooking. Yummy!!

For years after we went home I asked my Mom to make it and she said she would get the recipe from Aunt Jesse.
