Southern Style Slow Cooker Pinto Beans

2017-02-04T17:31:00.001-06:00

Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend and everyone and anyone that is a red blooded American that loves football is going to be sitting around a large screen t.v. watching two teams battle it out. But not only is this Sunday about the football game, it's all about the food. It's like Thanksgiving, except with football, snack foods, and beer. What can be better than that? How about a "bowl" of southern style slow cooker pinto beans! It's satisfyingly delicious and it's better than a boring bowl of chips and dip. If you're down with a day of battling it out on the grid iron and gluttony, then throw on your jerseys and stretch pants and come join the party. It's going to be deliciously fun!

Chicken & Dumplings

2016-03-05T14:42:00.000-06:00

Chicken and Dumplings is the most quintessential southern recipe that every southerner crew up eating. If you were a southern kid like me, you probably sat in the kitchen watching or better yet, helping your Grandmother with this wonderful one pot meal. The simplicity yet time consuming of this dish will make you reminisce of the smells and flavors of the warmed cooked chicken with the pillowy dumplings in a savory broth. It will not only bring you back to the days when things were made with time and preparation, but it will make you think of a time when things were simple and made with love. Reconnect with your southern roots by making this old fashioned meal and continue to share it with future generations. They will enjoy it just as much as you did as a kid, maybe even better.
