A Southern July 4th Tradition! Mother's Cherry Cheesecake Pie {Granny's Recipe}
This classic cherry cheesecake pie celebrates the red, white, and blue! CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE Cherry Cream Cheese Pie is perfect for a picnic or a 4th of July party, and the smooth and creamy cheesecake pie filling in graham crust will surely be a crowd-pleaser. During my growing-up years, I remember my mother making this cherry cheesecake pie in the summer around July 4th, depending on what day it fell on closest to the weekend. She always would have to make two of them so there would be enough to go around. July 4th always meant barbecue chicken , potato salad , baked beans , and corn of some sort would be on the menu. July is when the corn is ready to pick, and on July 4th, we were shucking corn and putting it in the freezer. Right now, memories of how we spent our July 4th are flooding! Oh, how I loved those days! This pie introduced in the 1950's when two products, Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Eagle Brand Milk, came together, to cr...
Crusty Breaded Pork Chops
Crusty Breaded Pork Chops have a wonderful home-cooked flavor like the ones my Mom used to make. The breading makes them crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. OLD FASHIONED BREAD PORK CHOPS Old-fashioned breaded pork chops are among the best Sunday dinners, right next to fried chicken. I prefer to cook the ones with the bone in, as it gives you a handle when eating with your fingers. My husband has been so hungry for crusty-breaded pork chops that I took a recipe that I generally make liver and onions from and used it this time for the pork chops.
Banana Nut Bread {Granny's Recipe}
Banana Nut Bread, a classic straight from my Mother's kitchen, toasted pecans folded in a rich banana quick bread that is moist and perfectly sweet. Now that my children are grown and married, I am the only one that eats bananas in the house. I often buy too many bananas, and I can't eat all of them before they start turning brown.
Southern Chocolate Fudge Pie {aka Chocolate Chess Pie}
Southern Chocolate Fudge Pie is a southern classic for sure. The pie is the richest, most chocolaty, decadent pie you will ever eat. Every bite is pure joy! Chocolate Fudge Pie is a classic old fashioned Southern dessert that has been around for years. Some people call this pie a chocolate chess pie.
Peking Pork Chops
Peking Pork Chops tenderized pork medallions, coated in a Chinese marinade and then deep fried. But that is not the end, just before serving them dip them in a thick tangy and sweet hoisin sauce mixture. One of the first restaurants my husband likes to go to after the holidays is our local Chinese restaurant. Peking Pork Chops are the favorite, and now I make them at home.
Buckeye Fudge
Buckeye Fudge is a creamy peanut butter fudge layer covered with a thick layer of chocolate ganache. This is the best way I can describe it. Two amazing fudge flavors stacked on top of each other. Like Christin says, peanut butter and chocolate, "What's not to love! I have heard of Buckeye Candy before, but I have never made it for some reason. I can't imagine why. I first became aware of the Buckeye Fudge version from Christin over at Spicy Southern Kitchen . As soon as I saw this fudge on her website, I wanted to make it, and I knew it would be perfect in our Christmas treat boxes. It is absolutely the best fudge. It is close to becoming my favorite fudge, with my Mother's Millionaire Fudge being my favorite.
Jennifer's Tiger Butter Popcorn + Living Letters for Kids Book 1
Tiger Butter Popcorn is a twist on the popular tiger butter candy you see in all the candy stores in the mall, just as rich and scrumptious. This summer, we celebrated the birth of our ninth grandchild. I am continuing a series of posts with my daughter's favorite food, which we served at her baby shower.
