Smoked Turnip Greens on a Pellet Grill
I grew up in rural Mississippi, and much of our diet was what we grew or could raise. I grew up eating turnip greens, boiled and sauteed cabbage, pinto beans, cornbread, etc. Really, all the “soul food” items. But they’re more than soul food, they’re country food. We could grow turnip greens easily enough, so, […]

Traditionally, the shrimp are cooked with the head and shell left on. The delicious, spice-filled butter sauce that the shrimp are cooked in […]
Ham Bone and White Bean Soup

Creamy Crawdad Sauce
I made this Creamy Crawdad Sauce as a dipping sauce for my Louisiana Meat Pies recipe. But, it is so good, you’ll want to use it in any number of ways. Use it as a sauce over some grilled fish filets, or as an amazing dip with some home-made toasted bread bites. Any way you […]
