Mandarin Orange Pig Pickin' Cake
Mandarin Orange Cake is what this dessert is typically known as in this part of The Deep South, but in many other areas of The South, this is more commonly known as Pig Pickin' Cake, though it has many names.

How y'all liking that vintage Tupperware Cake Taker plate up there?
I know for photo styling I should have used my mama's fancy footed cake plate, but this is one of those refrigerated cakes so in the cake taker it went. This one, in that classic mustard color, dates back to the 70s of course, and has been used many, many times. I actually have two of them - one was mine from back then and the other my mama's, which she very well may have purchased at a Tupperware party at my house!
I also have the rectangular one for sheet cakes. Anybody else still have one of these oldies hanging around?

Salmon Patties
Commonly known as croquettes, salmon is combined with fresh parsley and seasonings, crushed saltine crackers and egg, shaped into patties and pan fried for an old southern favorite. Traditionally, I serve these with mashed potatoes and creamed peas.
Salmon Patties
My husband loves salmon patties, and while they are both delicious and a common Friday meal during Lent, I think his love of them comes mostly from the memories. Every single time that I make them, he mentions his grandma and how she often made them for him. That's enough for me to make them for him anytime.
Speaking of Lent, can y'all believe that Easter is right around the corner? Geez. Time sure crawls when you're young and waiting for permission to wear makeup, or shave your legs, turn 16, 18 or 21, or go out with a guy, or get your license. Why does it fly as you get older? And, come to think of it, are any of those even milestones in a gal's life anymore these days?

Cream Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake
Sugar macerated strawberries served over homemade cream biscuits with homemade whipped cream.
Cream Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake
Despite the sweltering summer heat and threat of hurricanes, I truly do love living in this area of the Deep South for many reasons, one of which is that we get an early taste of many seasonal veggies and fruits - and right now, that's strawberries.
Butter Dip Whipping Cream Biscuits
Homemade biscuits made with heavy whipping cream and dipped in butter.
Butter Dip Whipping Cream Biscuits
These are the biscuits I made to go with my post for Cream Biscuit Strawberry Shortcakes, but they are such a lovely biscuit all on their own, that I wanted to plant them in a place of their own. The only difference is those have sugar and these do not.

Slow Cooker Pork and Beans
Combine a pound of dried pinto or pink beans with a small pork loin roast for a delicious meal of pork and beans.
Slow Cooker Pork and Beans
One of the most favorite things that I really enjoy out of this blogging experience, is when I ask everybody "What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?'" over on the Facebook page. Readers share what's cooking in their kitchens, or what's planned, or sometimes just what they are craving, and very often, they share a recipe in those comments.
It was in one of those posts, that Natalie, one of our Facebook family members, mentioned making this bean dish, and I immediately put it on my list to try.

Irish Champ Potatoes
Mashed potatoes whipped with a green onion infused milk.
Irish Champ Potatoes
Unless Mama Nature intended they be green by her own hand, I'm not big on green colored food for St. Patrick's Day.
Don't get me wrong - I do think it's fun, especially if you have children who can appreciate a quirky green meal, or maybe even a spouse who won't mind the ribbing from their workmates. I love the color green, but I'm not generally too big on using green dye to color things green either.
Well... there might be an exception or two, but essentially my menu of St. Patrick's Day meal ideas is more a mix of traditional Irish food, with Irish-American food, and, well... just good ole regular food that might fit the theme.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
Because I am a bit of a night owl, I tend to do most of my blog work late into the night, and often into the early morning hours, whether it's writing, editing, recipe development, and sometimes, yes, even cooking!That was the case this past Wednesday night when I decided to make cupcakes for my grandbabies. At 11:00 at night. Trouble is, I wanted to make them from scratch, and, considering I don't even have a single cupcake recipe on the site... I had to actually write a recipe!

Cheesy Baked Mashed Potatoes
Creamy mashed potatoes, prepared in the usual manner, then tossed with cheese, baked and topped with more cheese. That's some cheesy goodness there y'all!
Cheesy Baked Mashed Potatoes
It's been a gorgeous spring March week here in south Mississippi, just gorgeous. What? You say it's winter still? Well, not in the Deep South!
We never have much of a winter to speak of down here anyway. Basically, there are one or three quick overnight freezes, just about enough to brown over everything, but the next day it's likely to be in the 70s. I noticed in my Google reader one blogger disappointed about having too much snow and the very next blog, about having no snow. What's the winter been like your way?

Crab and Shrimp Gumbo
A bowl of Deep South goodness, this gumbo is seasoned with small gumbo crabs and then topped off with crabmeat and shrimp.
Crab and Shrimp Gumbo
Like chili, I'm always piddling around with my seafood gumbo recipes, trying to reach that one perfect gumbo my mama used to make.
Piddling around. Yes. That's a legit phrase in the Deep South!
Think of it as such a leisurely, relaxed approach to preparing that next pot of gumbo that you're willing to try something different instead of being a stickler to the same old same old.
For this crab heavy version, I decided to use a little more onion, bump up the okra to a full pound, and not take my roux quite as dark. I thought for a sweet, crab-based gumbo, this more mellow roux would be a bit more fitting, than the richer, dark and more full bodied roux I often use.
