Coach's Favorite Baby Lima BeansI have a dog park buddy (former basketball coach) I cook for, and he brought me this recipe a lady in his school cafeteria gave him before retirement. If you can't find dried baby lima beans, use canned or frozen. This is a real southern comfort food dish, which you will see when you read the ingredients. |

Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Apples in Honey-Bourbon SauceI am always looking for new ways to present the omnipresent sweet potato. This recipe is pure Southland, with it praliney, bourbon-touched, subtly-spiced luciousness. There is a good amount of prep time for this, but do not be frightened away - you can get the sweet potato/apple part rolling a day before you need to serve it.… |

Cranberry Grits CasseroleThis slightly sweet casserole would make a great Holiday weekend breakfast side with leftover ham or some freshly cooked bacon! I topped mine with a little butter and real bacon bits but the vegetarians in the family ate it straight up! |
