Comfort Food

There is something about comfort food for me, not just eating it but also making it. Just knowing how much satisfaction I am bringing to someone while doing something I love. I like it because for years woman have been making this food and it feels good to be apart of that in someway. I wish these recipes were from a great grandmother or an old family cook book, but it just so happens I am the first woman in my family to give two darns about cooking and baking so I have been learning all my cooking lessons from the blog world!  mommys kitchen, Southern Plate, and of course The Pioneer Woman have been teaching me to cook and didnt even know it! I am enjoying every minute of remaking the delious meals they post, and truely gratful they take the time to share these dishes. This is my ultimate comfort southern meal. Chicken Fried Chicken and Gravy, Southern Style Green Beans, and Creamy Mashed Potatoes.

Chicken Fried Chicken, YUM. I can honestly say this taste like something from black-eyed pea only better! You can find the tutorial here Chicken Fried Chicken from Mommys Kitchen.

Another Recipe from Mommy's Kitchen, I just love her! Southern Style Green Beans

As if anyone would doubt Ree, The Pioneer Woman, but just in case you were having a moment, let me assure you these potatoes are to die for! I use evaporated milk instead of half and half because I always have some on hand.

I always remember my nanny making tea with a mason jar in the microwave, but I came across this tutorial and it's just as simple!

I can easily say this is the best cornbread I have ever had. ever. Please try at your earliest convenience.

 

Nothing like a table full of greased up buttery home cookin'! Please disregard the prepackaged brown and serve rolls.
