Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
Andy has been asking for homemade macaroni and cheese for days. Not the stuff in the box! I like it the way my great grandmother made it and taught me to make it. Creamy and warm macaroni and cheese is a holiday staple in my family. But Andy asked, this week, why we have it…
Southern Baked Beans

Salami Pinwheels for Any Potluck
On just about any potluck spread, where I’m from, you will find cream cheese pinwheels. They’re one of my potluck favorites, and everyone else’s, too.
