The beauty of a good casserole is that they’re (usually) quick and easy; perfect for that busy family cook who stays on the go.
What goes with that awesome roast you just made? Mashed potatoes? Okra? Cole Slaw? Pinto Beans? We have a few ideas. If you’re interested...
What is life without bread? Especially without biscuits or cornbread? Perish the thought! Good meals are made great with the right bread.
Mama Peggy made ranch dressing by the gallon, and used it for all sorts of thing. There's a place in Southern hearts for dressings of all kinds.
Mama Peggy didn’t leave behind a lot of soup and stew recipes. But her salmon stew and oyster stew recipes are here.
Appetizers are supposed to be little food that fancy folk serve before big food. But you can eat any of these appetizers anytime.
If you can spread it on a piece of bread, it’s a spread. These spreads were frequent staples from Mama Peggy’s kitchen. Want a sandwich?
There was never a shortage of cakes in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. No one asked if you liked cake. They asked what kind you liked.
Mama Peggy didn't make a lot of treats through the year, but during the holiday season her fridge was filled with all kinds of treats and candy.
Cakes and pies weren’t thought of as a dessert by Mama Peggy and her family. Dessert was a whole other thing unto itself.
It’s hard to beat a good slice of pie. There are pies that’ll cool you off when you’re hot, or heat you up when you’re cold.
Mama Peggy had a different view of gravy. If you visited Peggy’s Restaurant in the mornings you might get you some breakfast gravy and biscuits.
Except for soft drinks, if someone said “beverage“ that usually mean sweet Southern tea. There was no such thing as unsweetened.
