Cornbread and a Cold Glass of Milk
Baked Cornbread, cut a slice and pour cold milk over it in a glass. In the South this is poor mans food but no one ever knew it because it taste like your eating like a king! When I came into the Little family, I was used to eating Southern Buttermilk Cornbread . Needless to say the longer I was in the family, the more I began to have a taste for sweet cornbread. Traditionally, sweet cornbread contains equal portions of flour and yellow cornmeal with a liberal amount of sugar. There is one thing that has not changed since I came into the family and that is my affection for a late night snack of a cold glass of Milk and Cornbread.

She could fry it crispy-on-the-outside, almost caramelized shell and at the same time very tender inside.

Homemade Banana Pudding , rich and creamy homemade pudding poured over Nilla wafers and fresh banana slices, old fashioned goodness like Grandma makes.

Chicken Spaghetti is the classic comfort food around our house. A wonderful cheesy one-pot meal from start to finish. I am finishing out this week's favorite dishes of my husband with this wonderful Classic Chicken Spaghetti. Although, Chicken and Dumplings come in real close. I was pulling items out of our chest freezer looking for something to cook, and I found a whole chicken that gave me the idea to make some Chicken Spaghetti.
Crispy Fried Squash, {Granny's Recipe}
Crispy Fried Squash , golden outside, tender, meaty inside, fried squash is so simple and so delicious! In the South, a meal for King and Queen, in my house for sure.

My Time Away from Cooking With K
I just wanted to let you know that I have been taking a break from my blog due to the extended illness of my husband. He is still in the hospital following two colon surgeries in April.

I can't wait to be back cooking for my husband and posting some of my great recipes that "Bring friends and family together with food from my childhood recipes to today"!
