Southern

Experience the heart and soul of Southern cooking with our mouthwatering easy recipes, filled with that signature Southern charm. Indulge in classic comfort food and traditional dishes inspired by the American South

Benne or sesame seedsย  were brought to America by West African slaves. They were commonly used to enhance the flavors of foods or used as a thickening agent.ย  African slaves believed the seeds to be good luck. Benne wafers are a staple dessert for many people in South Carolina and they are often served during Kwanzaa as well. Melt in your mouth, crisp, chewy, nutty and caramelized benne or sesame wafer/cookies are perfect for the holidays. For a more traditional type cookie, leave them plain or make them festive by drizzling them with chocolate sauce. Both ways are equally delicious.

Grits and grillades prounouced (/ษกree-yahds/) is a popular southern New Orleans brunch/lunch usually served over grits. The meat, usually beef, (pork or veal is also used) is slow cooked in a rich and flavorful beef gravy made up of diced tomatoes, onions, red wine, beef broth, peppers, celery etc and served over cheesy Parmesan grits. Grits and grillades is perfect for Christmas brunch! So delicious!
