Mini Peach Cobbler
This peach cobbler recipe is quick to make and is so quaint in the little ramekins. The cinnamon I use is different than the brands sold in most stores, it's warmer, spicier, and other brands don't compare.
Nany's White Cake
This is a cake recipe by my beloved Great Grandmother! She was a master in her time. She grew up during the depression and made up lots of recipes cooking for her large family. This cake is wonderful! I serve it with frosting or whip cream and berries. Enjoy!
Savannah Seafood Stuffing
This seafood dressing (though we call it stuffing) has been in my family for a while. We have never actually stuffed the bird with this to avoid the turkey having a fishy taste. We tend to like our dressing very moist, but if you prefer a drier version, only use half of the broth.
