Grilled Guac with Sour Cream and Salsa
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! I've hit on a new way to prepare avocados and we've been putting them away like nobody's business. Avocados are the main ingredient in guacamole and we love us a good chip and dip around here, but it's time to think outside the box with this powerhouse fruit. Although a lot of us think

Mini Cranberry and Zucchini Muffins
Hello folks, and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. We recently held Pops and Keggie Kamp. That would be when my grands, known around these parts as The Fabulous Five, come stay and play with Keggie, and it is totally #noadultsallowed except for the BFF who will be allowed to hang on the lake with us because, as five-year-old Connor so astutely noted,
The Farmhouse Chocolate Cake
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. I’ve recently returned from Ellerslie, GA where I spoke to a wonderful gathering of women at the famous Farmhouse restaurant and gift shop.

The Belle’s Gouda Mac and Cheese
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. It was the evaporated milk that caught my attention. I saw a recipe for homemade mac and cheese that used Pet Milk.

Grandma Stone’s Poor Man’s Candy
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! When I was a little girl, my Grandma Stone would make us kids something she called Potato Candy.

Shellie’s Skillet Jambalaya
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. One of my favorite things to do when time is short and our bellies are empty is to take a single skillet and make a delicious meal. Take my Skillet Jambalaya. I came in under the wire the other evening, surveyed what I had on hand and brought this dish to the table in
Mrs. Billie’s Bodacious Cole Slaw
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. The first time I had this slaw it was served at a Garden Club luncheon. I cleaned my plate in record time, but seeing as I was the guest speaker I decided not to ask for more. I did, however, get the recipe. I promptly dropped by the grocery store for the ingredients and
Shellie’s Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! I rarely if ever pass freshly roasted rotisserie chickens at the grocery without taking one home. I love to pull the meat off into bite-size pieces, date it, freeze it, and it’s ready for a variety of meals. Like today’s Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. When it comes to gumbo, my preference is a seafood
Shellie’s Sweet Potato Swirl
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! I served up my Sweet Potato Swirl this past Thanksgiving to rave reviews. And here’s the cool part. Some of the folks on the taste test panel at my house were anti-sweet potato folks. Don’t you just love when that happens? I do. Here, let me walk you through this dish. Perhaps you’ll find
