Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Pie

August 30, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Brace yourselves – pie season is coming! Technically, pie season is all year long in my house. My husband and I love a good cake, but we are pie people through and through. There are a million and one ways to get really fancy with pie recipes, and Pinterest is certainly overflowing with more beautiful magazine-worthy pies than you could shake a stick at. You won’t see me complaining about that one bit, because I’ve been known to pin a beautiful pie (or 800) to my dessert boards. However, my southern soul knows you can never go wrong with the classics, and this Old Fashioned Chocolate Fudge Pie is a fool proof way to serve a slice of sweetness any time of the year!

You may recall in a recent post I shared that I was officially calling this summer the summer of charcuterie boards in my house. Creating simple and delicious charcuterie boards has been absolutely perfect during lunch and dinner time because I’m able to serve my family a wholesome variety of our favorite foods that we can graze on without ever once having to heat up the oven or stove!…

Cranberry Pumpkin Buttermilk Bread

August 20, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

This recipe for cranberry pumpkin buttermilk bread is just the ticket to help you hop from the scorching summer to those fantastic fall vibes!

Have you noticed a common ingredient over the last few recipes that I’ve shared? It always stabs at my soul a little bit when I let food waste away in my refrigerator, and every time I buy a half gallon of buttermilk, I make it my personal mission to use up every drop of it before it turns sour. (I chuckle at that, because buttermilk technically is sour on it’s own, but you get what I mean!)

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie

August 14, 2019 by Laura Tucker 1 Comment

This Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie is a true southern staple dessert, and every bite tastes just like a sweet Sunday afternoon.

Ever since I can remember, I can recall a buttermilk pie sitting on the dessert table somewhere during a church event. The sweet older ladies in my church make some of the best pies in the world – often made from recipes handed down for generations. Buttermilk pie has a pretty long history in our country, as it was a pie that could easily be made with very inexpensive pantry staples, such as buttermilk and eggs. When fruit was hard to get or out of season, you could always count on a buttermilk pie.
