Bless Your Heart Recipes and Stories
"What would the South be without deviled eggs at the church potluck?" Can you even begin to imagine a family reunion where nobody remembered to make the baked beans and sweet tea? Is it possible to celebrate a major holiday without crunchy sweet potato casserole on the buffet table? Patsy Caldwell and Amy Lyles Wilson don't think so, either.
These recipes are proven to comfort and satisfy your family and the people who may as well be kin. Whether the event is a holday gathering, a garden party, or one of life's unexpected events, food is the common denominator in the South. Lifelong Southerns Patsy and Amy understand the craft of Southern cooking, and how few things are nurturing as a meal lovingly prepared.
Along the way, you'll enjoy familiar stories of traditions in Dixie - and no doubt pick up a new idea or two of ways to celebrate Southern culture, nourish your loved ones, and make new memories.
