Southern Fresh Cherry Cake, quick and easy deliciously moist cake, made with self rising flour a touch of cornmeal, buttermilk, eggs, and butter. Serve it plain with a dollop of whip cream or as we did with a dusting of powdered sugar. The cherries are so plentiful in the grocery stores right now and what better way to showcase them than to make a Southern Fresh Cherry Cake. I actually had to buy a couple of bags of the cherries to have enough to make the cake. My grandsons are huge fans of these little jewels. Like most fruits, fresh cherries have the pros and cons. Fresh Cherries do not have a lot of nutritional value, but they are high in water content and are super beneficial to eat in the summer to hydrate.

Southern Fried Green Tomato Stacks as Appetizers or Elegant Sides
Southern Fried Green Tomatoes, crispy on the outside tender and meaty on the inside, yielding a tangy sweet flavor like no other. Serve them stacked as a delightful appetizer or an elegant side dish. It is time for Fried Green Tomatoes! Summer is synonymous with Fried Green Tomatoes in my neck of the woods. Right now we are in the middle of fresh garden vegetables appearing in Farmer's Markets and some local grocery stores. I must say the first thing I check for in my local grocery is if they have any green tomatoes. Last year they kept coming in the store until late September here in Texas. I only buy a few green tomatoes at a time to make sure that they are nice and firm when I get ready to fry them. I like to pick out firm green tomatoes and some that are a little pink. They are the ones that are just starting to show some ripeness, sweeter yet still tangy in taste too. It is just a preference.

American Flag Pie with Homemade Pie Crust
American Flag Pie, is made with a homemade pie crust that brings this pie to a rich balance of buttery flakiness as well as a luscious sweet-tart taste of homemade pie filling. My Mother taught me long ago that a pie is only as good as its crust. While there is some high quality ready made pie crust in the stores today, that was not the case when I was growing up. I learned to make pie dough from my Mother and perfected it in my Home Economics class in high school. I recommend making a homemade pie crust if at all possible. For the American Flag Pie recipe, I use one of my favorite pie crust recipes.
Kolache Biscuits

We had open flame heaters in the living room and bathroom. She would light the oven in the kitchen for heat too as she started the bacon cooking. French toast is comfort food for breakfast that will warm you up fast. Mother's french toast on cold Saturday mornings is still one of my favorite memories of her in the kitchen.
