Sweet Potato Balls

She loved sweet potatoes and really loved sweet potato casserole. There is no ingredient list with this recipe. Mash cooked sweet potatoes with brownContinue reading “Sweet Potato Balls”

Easy Rice Casserole

Her Mom does some catering and taught her the recipe. The notes are from my friend andContinue reading “Bacon Wraps”

Hoe Cake

This is a recipe from ‘Blue and Grey Cookery Authentic Recipes from The Civil War Years’. The reason I am sharing it though is because my Momma used to make these all the time! We used to have them with fish and grits. She would cook them in butter some times if we didn’t haveContinue reading “Hoe Cake”
