We took 14 people up to North Carolina with us this past weekend, so including us, there were 12 adults and 5 children (and 2 dogs). It was a packed house, but we all had so much fun! Corby, Walker and I drove up on Thursday night which also happened to be Corby’s birthday- we [...]

He died far too young at 41, but has left a lasting legacy that extends to all regions of the South [...]
“Grazing is a state of being in the South. In fact, many of our community cookbooks from the twentieth century are front-heavy, with so many more hors d’oeuvre and finger-food recipes than main courses (or even desserts) that it makes you wonder why we even bother with the rest of the meal. It’s actually plain [...]
Thanks so much to the wonderful site Vegan Bliss from the Organic Goddess – promoting Veganism in Atlanta – this is new southern baking! (originally published March 2002, in Co-options, the newsletter of Sevanada Natural Foods Cooperative in Atlanta, GA. http://www.sevananda.coop ) I come from a long, proud line of biscuit makers. My mother’s mother [...]
