Chocolate gravy is something that I had just this one time and it left enough of an impression to let me know that I never needed to taste it again. The vegan chocolate gravy tasted fine, but I think it was a texture issue. A little chalky with the cocoa powder and flour. Plus, I [...]

Corn bread is southern dinner staple. To this day, I do not think there is one dinner meal prepared in this house that doesn’t include corn bread. As a child I loved when my parents used the really sweet corn meal mix ( rhymes with Miffy) to make corn muffins. It made me feel like [...]

Corn and Tomato Salad is just another reason for me to eat Shoepeg corn while it is in season. I know a lot of people are going back to school. This salad would make an excellent lunch item, because it is raw, does not need short term refrigeration, and the longer is marinates in the [...]

Who knew corn could be so sweet and candid? The other day I planned to make fried corn and at the grocery store I asked the produce guy what the difference was between the white and yellow corn. He said that the white corn was supposed to be sweeter, but I had only had yellow [...]

At your party or dinner, there is probably soda pop available which is probably worst than sweet tea and you probably [...]

I hated squash growing up. It wasn’t so much the taste of squash that turned me off, because I have always been a lover of vegetables, but it was the texture that got me. Squash, if cooked for long enough, can be very mushy, texture-less and really live up to it’s name; Squash. One time [...]

So to stay on the tomato sandwich train we started yesterday, today we will be vegan-izing the shrimp butter and tomato sandwich recipe from Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible. One thing we won’t be using is shrimp, or vegan shrimp for that matter. Vegan Shrimp Butter and Tomato Sandwich Ingredients: 2 slices of vine [...]

Tomato sandwiches are served at every southern party according to Paula Deen. While I know what she means, the only similar sandwich I can think of that I ate frequently at my church’s tea parties were cream cheese-triangle-crustless sandwiches. So to make this recipe my own, I decided to skip the dainty roma tomato and [...]
