I got this recipe from my mom. I'm not sure where she got it from. The cast iron skillet isn't optional!

I don't know if I've had this recipe or not, but I like coleslaw! This is straight from one of Granny's recipe cards!

This is actually my recipe, Frankensteined together from a few others. It's still in development, but I think it's pretty good as is. My son loves it.

I think this recipe actually comes from my dad's mom, but mom made it a bunch over the years, so I'm putting it here. It's a "dog-gone" good chili, cause your hotdogs will, you know, disappear. Get it?

Standard baked mac & cheese

Nothing fancy, just basic macaroni salad. This stuff is a staple of get-togethers the year round.

Mashed potatoes the way I learned to make them from my mom. I'll assume she learned to make them from hers. WARNING These are NOT a heart-healthy choice! 

This is part of my gravy-making repertoire. It's light in color and tastes great on potatoes, chopped steaks, hamburger patties, meatballs, . . . .
