More than Biscuits and Cornbread.
With Thanksgiving just a few days away, I am finalizing my grocery list and at the top is to make sure I have assigned the role of rolls to a dependable person. A meal in a southern household without bread is a travesty. Growing up, we ate bread at every meal. Breakfast included either toastContinue reading “More than Biscuits and Cornbread.”
A Yuletide Garden
The smell of Christmas is one of my favorite experiences during the holiday season.
