Family recipes are the best! My Aunt always made red velvet layered cake for Thanksgiving and Christmas. She decided it was time to “pass the spatula” to the next generation. This is the tenth year of the nieces and great nieces getting together to “learn” the recipe. Hilarity reins. #GlobalApron 2024

I love to bake sweet stuff, with a bit of savory tasty cooking thrown into the mix. Just good ol’ southern cuisine. Most of my recipes were handed down from my Great & Grand Grannies. If they didn’t grow it or raise it, it wasn’t eaten. My hubby and I have alot of food allergies so it gets challenging sometimes to make things that we both can eat. Neither of us can eat shellfish, which is sad, considering where we live, cuz it’s everywhere! Y’all won’t find any shellfish /saltwater fish recipes here. Some fresh water fishes, maybe. Hope y’all enjoy my recipes!
