Hoe Cake
Hoe cake is a Southern bread that is cooked in an iron skillet, like cornbread. This hoe cake recipe stems back to my great-great grandmother. My father has made this recipe for years, and it is always requested by his grandchildren. A slice of hoe cake will warm your insides — slathered with some homemade apple butter alongside of some butter beans, freshly sliced tomatoes, and a good tall glass of sweet tea. I promise your family will love this truly Southern recipe!
Slow Cooker Cornish Hens
This Cornish hen recipe is my fiancé's favorite slow cooker meal, served with veggies over wild rice. For a larger portion, simply split the hens lengthwise after cooking to serve four.
Cajun Boudin
This recipe for boudin (boo-dahn) is made with pork, rice, and seasonings. Boudin is a wonderfully scrumptious dish that's normally stuffed with pork and rice, but you can add shrimp, crawfish, or alligator meat if desired.
