    Vidalia Onions

    I've noticed Vidalia onions lately, so I bought a bag, thinking it might make an even more delicious onion soup. The soup is fine, but when I used them for Hamburger Onion Pie, I was disappointed. It seems that the delicate taste of Vidalias just aren't up to the robust flavors of Hamburger...

    Makin' Gravy

    Yesterday during my mega shopping for the month, I ran into a lovely older southern lady. She passed on a tip for making gravies. She said she takes flour and puts it in a cast iron skillet and places it in the oven at a low temperature until the flour gets to the color she likes to use and...

    Disintegrated Butterbean Soup

    DISINTEGRATED BUTTERBEAN SOUP 1 Cup dried large lima beans I let them soak for about 24 hours. This will make it easy to remove the tough outer shell. Keep an eye on them as they will absorb so much of the water, that you'll need to add more to keep them covered. The...

    Butter Bean Soup

    One thing I hate about butter beans is the skin that is tough and sometimes comes loose in cooking. They are inedible IMO! It's funny, but I've never seen a recipe that addresses this, so I finally Googled removing bean skins. Aha! There are lots of sites that tell you how...
