Today is a banner day for Yo Momma, my friends! Today I arose at 5 a.m. and drove north along North Carolina Highway 401 to Louisburg NC, home of Bobbees Bottling, for my first-ever, commercially produced batch of Yo Momma's jam's and jellies--a special reserve...

Summer Sausage with a Tangy Flavor served with some Cheese and Crackers
A good Summer Sausage served with some cheese and crackers makes a fine snack for a Superbowl party! I serve it with a nice bunch of grapes to cleanse the palette. Dadda likes nice the luscious sweet flavor of red grapes. I prefer the tartness of green grapes. Either...

Family, Friends, and Holidays

Children are a blessing, and sometimes they make you eat your humble pie.
I came across this drawing the other day while looking for a recipe. My son Dillon made it for me years ago for Mother's Day. His favorite book as a child was "Love You to the Moon and Back". Lord think I read that book the better part of a thousand times to him. Yo...

Apple, Date, and Toasted Walnut Butter
Turns out apple butter is the perfect way to ramp up a bowl of oatmeal, but not just any apple butter – no mine also includes dates and toasted walnuts. But, before I go into the details, let me tell you how I got there. Last week my husband was complaining to me...
