Fried Grit Cakes

Grit Cakes from EatinontheCheap.com

Fried Grit Cakes are a delicious way to serve up cheesy grits and are delicious covered in marinara sauce and a little Parmesan cheese. Fried grit cakes are ubiquitous in the South. They are a natural progression of cheese grits for dinner to leftover cheese grits for dinner again. That's because whenever you make grits, two things are bound to happen; 1 - you will make way ...

Southern Woodford Pudding

My grandmother grew up in the backwoods of Tennessee as a farmer's daughter. Her family worked hard for what little they could earn and made the most of what they had. She's told me stories of growing up way out in the "sticks" and the times she had. She has shared some of her recipes with me and given me her wisdom on canning and "putting up". Not to mention, I spent the ...

Sweet Potato Biscuits

Sweet Potato Biscuits from EatinontheCHeap.com

Biscuits are a rite of passage for many Southern women. It’s a skill passed down from generation to generation, a vessel for learning many of life’s lessons. My mother imparted her own wisdom to me through the art of making biscuits. As a small child, Mom taught me to measure the flour, cut in the fat, stir in the milk, be gentle with the dough, and cut your biscuits. There is ...

Spicy Black Eye Pea Salad

Spicy Black Eye Pea Salad

I consider myself a good Southerner and I tend to stick to tradition as much as anyone when it comes to welcoming in a new year. I never hang up my new calendar for the new year until January 1st ( much to my daughter's chagrin) and I always eat my black eye peas on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. That's not to say that I get up and particularly look forward to eating a big ...

Buttermilk Pie

buttermilk pie

I have never looked forward to the dead of winter as much as I do now. The calm and still of January is like a siren song to me. It's speaking of cold days spent warming by the fire, cozying up in big warm cable knit sweaters and eating big bowls of soup. I am ready for January even if that month holds my 30th birthday. But this is not January. This is August. And it's busy. ...
