If there was ever a year that we need a whole lot of luck, it’s 2021. Here is a New Year’s Day meal that’s sure to bring at least a little luck. Let’s hope it’s good luck! As the southern saying for lucky New Year’s food goes: “peas for pennies, greens for dollars, and cornbread…
Pork
Hearty Ham and Cheese Quiche
These days, I find myself putting more effort into lunch. With everyone home much more during the day and our family taking fewer chances with restaurants, we are cooking much more. But what to make for lunch? Leftovers? Cheese and crackers? PB&J? Tuna salad? These are all great lunch options. But some days, I just…
Southern Baked Beans
We are having Baked Beans tonight at a family potluck. We are making them 2 ways and I will share those ways with you so you can either make both or choose the one that suits your family best. The only difference is whether you add cooked bacon or cooked sausage. Both are delicious! Southern…
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. I like these salami pinwheels even better because there is no flour tortilla involved. I love tortillas but they get kind of soggy in pinwheels. The salami in this recipe…
Crock Pot Italian Sausage Queso for New Year’s Eve!
New Year’s Eve has always been fun with my mom. It’s full of junk food and movies and staying up late. Well, late can be relative. I am so thankful that Netflix has an anytime countdown for kids. I bet we all end up in bed by 11. One of our favorite New Year’s Eve…
Stuffed Peppers with Sausage and Grits

Easy Coke Ham
Hi Everyone! Top Girl, here, with a super simple way to prepare your ham for the holidays. Ham is my favorite meat for pretty much any holiday. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter…I would always pick ham. Oh, and this is my first official post as part of Kelli’s Kitchen. I picked up an Appleton Farms Smoked Shank…
Stubbelada
A few weeks ago the kind people at Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q asked if I would like to make another post like the last one I wrote here. I was thrilled they asked me because our family goes through the rubs and sauces faster than you can imagine! They sent me a box full of…
Carne Adovada
Adovada is what New Mexicans generally call Mexican adobada. They both mean pork pieces that are marinated in a red chili sauce for a long time then baked to perfection. You can use it then for tacos, burritos, in eggs, just about anywhere you want. We made tacos with this recipe. You will love it…
