Sweet Tea
You know I had to do it.
The only appropriate thing to do when you do a week about sweet tea, is actually START with Sweet Tea!
I have tried a bunch of different versions. Be it restaurants. Be it grandma’s. Be it mom’s. You get the picture.
One thing I have figured out, is that I don’t really like my sweet tea………. well TOO sweet.
I mean, let’s be honest. Sometimes, you come across some that are so sweet, it is literally like drinking a glass of syrup. › Continue reading
Z’s Yummy to my Tummy Ribs!
Let me just start by saying we love RIBS! We are definitely in the “carnivore” family. I tried it once….. LITERALLY ONCE in the “herbivore” family and I think it lasted all of 24 hours and that is stretching it.
I have nothing against Vegetarians. In fact, I eat A LOT of veggies, but I just can’t cut out meat.
So! I find it only fitting to showcase, what I like to call my hubby’s “Yummy to my Tummy Ribs”!
I feel like they are perfect for a Southern Cookout!
I really love these things!
He tries to give me all the credit, but the truth is….. I PREP…… HE COOKS!
Here is what WE do:
Take a pack of baby back ribs. I shop at Sam’s Club a lot, so I always find a pack of 3 slabs there. › Continue reading
Buttermilk Quick Biscuits
It’s no secret that I like LOVE biscuits.
I have loved them for as long as I can remember. In fact, if I were in a prison that only offered biscuits and water, I would be good! Yes! I know, it’s supposed to be bread and water, but this is my blog post and I say it’s BISCUITS!
Anyhoo!
My mom taught me how to make these. This is how she always makes her biscuits. Somehow hers always seem to be better, but I guess everything is better at mom’s, right?
These little babies are not the pretty little things you get when you go to a restaurant. That is for another blog post.
However, these are the yummy little things you get when you have a hankering for some biscuits in a flash!
Only 3 ingredients! Now who doesn’t love that?
Here is what I did:
First, I sifted 2 cups of Self-Rising flour into what I like to call my “biscuit making bowl”. › Continue reading
Easy Peasy Collard Greens
Let me just say that I have always loved Collards. Let me also say that I have always been intimidated to cook them.
Oh! I’ve tried!
I’ve tried ALL sorts of ways, but it wasn’t until my mom came down for a visit, that I finally found the EASIEST way on earth to fix them.
I had this huge pre-washed, pre-cut bag of Collard Greens in my fridge that I had to fix very soon, or they would go bad. I bought them on my last trip to Sam’s Club (yes! I’m a Sam’s girl). I had seen them and feeling pretty ambitious, bought them only to get home later, feel intimidated again, and toss them in the fridge.
I said, “MOM! I don’t have any fat back or bacon or anything you use to cook them.”
THEN!
She says, “Well, do you have any bacon grease?”
Now, growing up, my mom used to always drain her grease from frying bacon, put it in the fridge to solidify and then use it later to make her eggs. I definitely don’t use this method myself to make eggs, BUT! I do drain it, put it in the fridge until it solidifies, and then throw it away, so nothing goes down the kitchen sink!
So I thought, “WHY YES! I DO!”
SO! Ladies and Gentlemen, this is what we did and I will continue to cook my Collards this way from now until forever:
I took that big ole bag of collard greens. Don’t fret! They will cook down kinda like spinach. › Continue reading
