Easy Roasted Broccoli: For the freshest broccoli, look for bright green heads with firm stems and stalks!


Dinner rolls made with garlic, butter and Parmesan cheese made from store bought rolls made in a cast iron skillet.

Garlic Parmesan Skillet Rolls: You can swap out the Parmesan for shredded cheddar or mozzarella.


Southern Cornbread Salad layered in a glass bowl with cornbread crumbles, beans, corn, peppers, tomatoes, cheese, and creamy dressing topped

Cornbread Salad: Let it chill for several hours. This salad is not meant to be served right away. The flavors need time to settle and the cornbread needs time to absorb the dressing. At least an hour is good. Overnight is outstanding.

Monster Cookies: Use some Halloween colored M&Ms and eyeball sprinkles for the perfect spooky treat.


Egg & Sausage Breakfast Casserole: Add some veggies like sautéed bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach are delicious additions. For an added kick, use hot breakfast sausage, pepper jack cheese, or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
