  • A Throwdown of Epic Proportions

    •

    How crazy is it that it’s been almost a year since sweet tea vodka was making its first introductions into the lives of Southerners everywhere? (Albeit, it took quite a bit longer to make it to every county in the closed states.) Well it just wouldn’t be summertime without tailgates,…

  • Local Produce – YAY!

    •

    Ok, it is terrible that I might need to rely on a delivery service to provide me with local, fresh produce when I pass the NC Farmers Market multiple times a day. That being said, this will still ensure I get to support local agriculture even with my “I don’t…

  • Southern Favorites: Cooking with Beer

    •

    I’m thinking this should be a perpetual recipe post as I know many of you include beer (either as a cooking aid to the chef or actually in the recipe) in many of your Southern concoctions.I literally laughed out loud when I read “Life is Reed-iculous”‘s post today which featured…

  • Southern Favorites: Biscuits

    •

    I am a biscuit fan – big time. I was beyond upset when my $15.00 Bojangles combo at Bank of America Stadium this past weekend for the UNC vs. WVU bowl game did not include a biscuit. (Seriously – wtf?!) Naturally, I think this Biscuit of the Month Club highlighted…
