Jackie Garvin — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 17:20:46 +0000

Old Fashioned Cornbread Dressing is made in the traditional way of using leftover buttermilk cornbread and biscuits. Lots of fresh sweet onions, celery and sage give this dressing an unforgettable flavor. One of the most popular recipes on this blog. I’m stepping out here and ready to make a bold statement. I think I...

Southern Buttermilk Cornbread ( AKA Eggbread)

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 18:04:04 +0000

Southern Buttermilk Cornbread is an iconic food in southern US cuisine. We have definite opinions about bread. Biscuits are biscuits. Hushpuppies are hushpuppies. We don’t refer them as bread. We do call Hush Puppies shoes but this is a food blog not a fashion blog. We are talking about the edible hushpuppies. Sliced loaf bread...

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Fritters

Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread Fritters. Pickled jalapeño peppers, cheddar cheese and sour cream folded into a cornbread base and fried as a fritter. Take popular toppings for chili such as sour cream, pickled jalapeño and cheddar cheese and turn them into a cornbread fritter. That’s where I got my inspiration: from a bowl of chili. Southern cooks can fritter anything and...

If there’s anything Southerners love better than eating good food, it’s planning a big party to celebrate food. Food festivals dot our landscape like freckles on a hound dog. We celebrate everything from crawfish to hamburgers made with doughnut buns. We love food. We love festivals. Put the two together and we can’t hardly stand...

Southern Hushpuppies

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 23:18:46 +0000

The legend of the hushpuppy is a wonderful part of Southern foodways. So the story goes, bits of cornbread were fried up by hunters to feed their dogs so they would “hush”. The cornmeal used to make the hushpuppies was probably on hand for use as a batter to cook the hunter’s food. Cornmeal was a...

Blackeye Pea and Collard Green Soup

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 17:59:13 +0000

If pressed to pick a favorite food category, my answer would be soups. Even given my affinity to all things sugary sweet, soups would win over desserts. A person can live on soups. I suppose a person can live off desserts, too, but a gut rebellion is surely inevitable along with the associated clothes rebellion causing...

Of all the events we celebrate in the South, the menu for a traditional Southern New Year’s Day probably carries the most tradition. Each component has a special meaning.

As the summer heats up, we look to hearty one dish meals that don’t require long cook times. The cooking for this dish is done after you make a skilletfull of cornbread. I started with a package cornbread mix and threw in some add-ins. This dish depends on good moist cornbbread. This dish holds...
