Egg Custard Pie

September 9, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

Egg custard pie is a classic southern dish that may be lacking all the frills, but it’s certainly worthy of a spot on the fine china!

And the pie saga continues! Boy, when I get on a kick about something, I really do tend to go all out. No one in our household is complaining about the fact that I’ve been cranking out a pie nearly every day for the last week and a half, and while this is the last pie recipe you’ll see (for at least a week, let’s be real) it’s the pie I’ve been the most excited to share with you! Many of you know it, but for those of you who don’t – prepare to fall in love with this classic southern treat: Egg Custard Pie

Pumpkin Chess Pie

September 7, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

This recipe for Pumpkin Chess Pie is a twist on a classic favorite, and it’s sure to be the star of the dessert table at Thanksgiving!

I’ve seen a lot of shade being thrown around on social media lately about when an appropriate time is to begin posting about pumpkin spice, decorating for fall and anything pertaining to autumn in general. Boy, people will certainly come out of the woodwork to give their two cents about things that are really not that important in the grand scheme of things. The “pumpkin police” do not get to rain on my pumpkin parade. If you can’t be happy eating a slice of this pumpkin chess pie, I just don’t know how to help you!

Old Fashioned Vinegar Pie

September 4, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

This Old Fashioned Vinegar Pie may sound strange, but it’s a true gem straight from the Depression Era that has earned its place on the kitchen table today!

I feel that I owe somebody an apology. That I need to repent of my sins. That I need to go stand in a corner and wash my mouth out with soap. As I was thumbing through an old church cookbook earlier this week, I stumbled upon this recipe for Vinegar Pie. Knowing good and well that everything else I’ve ever tried from that cookbook has been nothing short of delicious, I quickly scoffed at this recipe and dismissed it. In fact, I’m pretty sure I exclaimed out loud to an empty room. “That sounds terrible!”

It’s no secret that I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately. A scroll through my most recent posts will fill you in on how much I’ve been indulging in the sweeter things in life, and my body has been sending me a few clues that it’s time I fill her up with something that leans a little more towards the healthy side. One of my favorite ways to get in those fresh greens and veggies is to serve them taco style – and in this case, Cilantro Lime Chicken Taco Bowl style!

Peanut Butter Fudge

September 2, 2019 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

This recipe for peanut butter fudge has a special history behind it, and it’s so perfectly rich and delicious, you’ll think you’re biting into a slice of heaven!

Since my oldest daughter has started school, I’m sometimes able to carve a little bit of time into my days to do things that I enjoy doing. One of those things is thumbing through old cookbooks that have been given to me over the years that are filled with tons of recipes from local people – many of which I never knew. I came across a fundraiser-type cookbook that was put together by the local school when my husband was in the 5th grade. Naturally, I turn straight to the dessert section in hopes of stumbling across a gem tucked away amongst the pages that I could do a little taste-testing on.

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!…

My oldest daughter has officially completed her first 3 weeks of school, and it’s gone much more smoothly that we could have ever imagined. The faculty and staff has been absolutely wonderful and have done everything they can to make this transitional period smooth for us, and their communication with the things going on at the school has been fantastic!

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!)

These summer days are sweltering hot here in south Alabama. School has been back in session for 2 weeks now, but it feels like those cool, crisp fall mornings are a lifetime away. Our local weather man announced yesterday that we broke a 12 year old record heat index this week , and just yesterday we reached 90 degrees before 9 am. If you’re not careful, this heat can make you go a little crazy!
