Stuffed Eggs

Stuffed (or Deviled) eggs are a quintessential Southern treat! Do y'all remember me telling you the other day about everyone needing their own unique dish to carry to community suppers and to share with those in need of a meal. There is one exception I should have noted. Anyone can bring a plate of stuffed eggs. There are never enough of these little gems at any gathering. If you want to quickly endear yourself to your fellow church and community members, bring stuffed eggs!! On the other hand, nothing will draw the wrath of the social committee quicker than the taking of more than one stuffed egg when going through the buffet line! Every good momma below the Mason-Dixon drills this bit of Southern etiquette into her dear children, right along with the saying of Yes, Ma'me and Yes, Sir.

Stuffed eggs can be served as an appetizer, but we mostly serve them with the meal.

I am notorious for forgetting to serve the eggs! I will discover them in fridge while cleaning up after the meal. I literally usually make myself a note to get the eggs out of the fridge. I didn't make the note tonight, and the eggs were forgotten. About the time I discovered them still setting in the fridge, Logan came through and said, "Hey, why didn't we get stuffed eggs with supper?!" I told him I forgot, to eat one, and to not say anything else about it! ;) As he was munching down of one of them, he looked over at me and said, "I just love these things!" Most of us down here do!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
