Hey Reader!

No matter the season, some recipes just have a way of making you feel at home. Southern comfort food is all about rich flavors, simple ingredients, and dishes that bring people together.

These cozy dinners are well-tested family favorites — from my Southern kitchen, to your dinner table!

My Kind of Comfort Food

​Skillet Chicken Spaghetti​

One pan, big flavor! Seared chicken, spaghetti, and a rich tomato sauce finished under the broiler with Parmesan.

​Glazed Meatloaf ​

As this easy-to-make meatloaf bakes your kitchen will fill with a delicious aroma that will have your family racing to the dinner table.

​Melt In Your Mouth Chicken​

Simple to make, with a creamy, cheesy topping that gives juicy, tender chicken a flavor boost that’s hard to beat.

​Cheesy Chili Mac​

This comfort food meal will become a family favorite made in just one pot in about half an hour.

​Crock Pot Chicken Parmesan​

Everything you love about classic chicken parm, without standing over a hot stove all evening.

​Beef Tips Shepherd’s Pie​

My Southern twist on Shepherd’s Pie is a family favorite meat and potatoes meal that wins rave reviews every time I serve it.

​Baked Ranch Chicken​

This chicken couldn't be easier and comes out of the oven with golden, crispy skin with juicy, tender meat.

​Crock Pot Beef Roast​

My slow cooker pot roast is tender, juicy, and full of flavor with simple ingredients and homemade gravy.

Hey Reader! It started as something I threw together for a backyard cookout. One pitcher. Gone in twenty minutes. Now it is the thing everyone asks me to bring. This Big Batch Bourbon Arnold Palmer is made with real homemade lemonade, cold Southern sweet tea, and your favorite bourbon. The best part — you make the whole pitcher the night before and just pour over ice when guests arrive. Set the bourbon on the side and let everyone pour their own. Trust me on that one.
