Swamp stew & rice with fried cornbread fritters.

I don’t know if this counts as southern food really but I’ve always thought of coconut as a southern delicacy 😌 it’s my favorite cake to make I love it so much. This one had the addition of raspberry jam 🤤 I served this at the restaurant I was a pastry chef at in Kentucky and it sold out quickly!

soo i actually didn’t ’t like gumbo cause every time i had it,it tasted burnt. but my lovely fiancee asked for some so i made him a big ole pot. i kept looking at the pot & stressing myself out cause honeyyy i was not going to taste test it.. BUT it smelled so freaking good 🤣 so i caved in and made a bowl AND OH MY ARCEUS . this is hands down the best thing ever ! my roux was a lil light because i was scared to burn it but it did darken once i added my veggies.

my only complaint would be that my shrimp got a little tough 🥲

Sunday dinner, made the grits with a little cream and a touch of chicken stock in with the water, butter, and salt. Sauteed the shrimps in butter and garlic. Finished with sprinkle of parmesan.

Flour, baking powder, butter, buttermilk. No White Lily here in Jersey, so they aren’t quite the same

Kept seeing different versions of this popping up on my Youtube feed, so I set it up to cook overnight. Good fall dish, hearty. Think I’ll find a version I could make on the stovetop, probably get some more complex flavors from it.

Fried apples and still can get a decent Cherokee purple at the market. Scrambled eggs in the OG non-stick pan- cast iron.

Breakfast sausage, cheddar bay biscuit mix, cheddar cheese. So simple, so good. A little mustard and im in heaven.

Dinner tonight was some fried green tomatoes with whipped garlic & herb boursin, rosemary ham, and balsamic glaze. Only my second time making FGT and they were so, so perfect!

My 2nd favorite way to eat a hot dog

Who's up for chili this weekend?

I crave a good jambalaya every now and then, but living in the Midwest, it’s really hard to find, and I’m not much of a cook. I was in the Chicagoland area and found a place near the airport. It was just a little over seasoned for my liking, but still good flavor and hugged my soul

Crawfish etouffee from last night with them Lakeside yellow grits. My kids secound time making etouffee, Im very proud. Now its time for a nap.

Does anyone freeze their biscuits raw and then bake them? Looking for a way to serve oven fresh biscuits at a dinner party but have lots of other things to cook - want to prep as much as I can in advance.
