It took me a few years and several brands of cornmeal and many recipes to finally find one that everyone in my family loved. Now I have friends who ask for “Hallee’s cornbread” and friends who come for dinner whose children want to know if they’re having “Hallee’s Special Cornbread!”.

I make a heat-free chili that my children LOVE. They enjoy all of the flavors of chili, but have never enjoyed the heat.
Pin ItA favorite to any pot luck. I don’t think a church dinner would be complete without chilled green bean and red potato salad.
Pin ItBroiled Blue Cheese Tenderloin Steaks: A perfect recipe for a special occasion. Our daughter LOVES steak. Any time she talks about enjoying a vegetarian lifestyle, we remind her that vegetarians don’t regularly consume medium-rare steaks.
Pin ItLast night, we had a fried fish dinner. It was quite yummy, albeit not quite “healthy” in the whole grains/good fats arena. My family is good with that (ha!) and I try to indulge fried fish or fried chicken about once a month.
Pin ItMUCH healthier than its name would suggest, these skillet fried potatoes are very tasty, too.
Pin ItA favorite of my family’s. I love to pull out two cast iron skillets and fry two full birds. They inhale this dish, especially when served with buttermilk biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
Pin ItGrandpa would have line caught salmon on the grill and garden fresh corn on the cob. Grandma would cover the picnic table with a red and white checkered tablecloth, and we’d eat on paper plates with wicker plate holders.
Pin ItThis spicy salsa is perfect as a snack with chips or as a topper for your favorite Mexican dish.
Pin ItOne evening, with company arriving less than three hours from the time that I held four frozen solid pieces of chicken in my hands, I decided that white chili was probably the best route to take. So, I plopped them in the big stock pot, covered them with water and proceeded to make white chili. Though a recipe that I put together on the fly with only the ingredients I had on hand, it really ended up tasting quite good.
