Love Southern cooking. It is so comforting. If I had to choose just one dish, it would be biscuits and gravy.
Cast iron fried chicken, greens, black eyed peas, mashed tators with cream gravy and don’t forget the buttermilk biscuits. That reminds me of my childhood memories of home and my loving family.

My mom would make the best biscuits and gravy, hands down. Everything was made from scratch and boy was it good! I just wish I had paid more attention and learn how she did it.
The meatloaf and mashed potatoes were a common dinner when I was younger. Mamma always called them ‘creamed potatoes’ . Recipes can sure bring back some good memories!

Lasagna, homemade bread recipes.
Luscious pork roast with the family gathered around brings back special memories of home.

Hearty breakfast casserole sounds good to me!
Sunday dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans from the garden, cream gravy and homemade buttermilk biscuits with homemade butter with a gallon jar of sweet tea reminds me of home.
I think of growing up with Mom’s chicken and home made noodles, mashed potatoes, and corn. I make it for my family now.
Traditional Southern Style Potato Salad so reminds me of home and my grandnpmother’s potato salad.
I always remember the smell of my mom’s pot roast cooking in the kitchen. She sure had a lot of little mouths to feed, and we loved it. A glass of cold milk made the meal perfect! Now I make pot roast for my kiddos, just like my mom. Of course extras are prepared for a yummy next-day lunch. I am a crockpot fanatic. ๐
Growing up in Michigan my only contact with southern cooking was my dear Aunt Nell from Mobile, Alabama. She made a wonderful,sugary Pecan Pie every holiday. I can still remember that heavenly taste to this day. Just one of those memories that lasts a life-time.
