Since we grew up in the same household, I feel like I have been transported back in time. The running commentary is exactly like what we experienced around the plethora of aunts, should-have-been aunts, and all of those other wonderful Southern women who nurtured, cooked for us and taught us the art of Southern woman-hood over the years.

The grits look just like mama’s (actually, better, but don’t tell her that). I am sure that they are delicious.

Thanks for letting me know about your blog. I’ll check back often.

Uncle John says hello.

I find myself checking daily to see what’s been cooking at Nana and BeeBop’s house. How’s it going? What can we expect next?

Thanks!

Have I told you I’m making a big spiral notebook full of the recipes I love to take to Michigan? I have so many of yours in it that I have printed out. I check everyday to see if there’s something new I can add. LOVE your blog and thanks for plugging mine!

I found your blog through Serious Eats and I’m so happy that I came across this! Your blog is going to be added to my favorite food/recipe sites. I also love the photos of your adorable grandkids. It’s a nice reminder of why many of us cook – we feed the ones we love!

  Thanks, Elissa. Yes, I’ve always equated food with love. I’ve been lucky to have many, many good cooks in my family cooking for me since I was born. My mother and both my grandmothers, numerous aunts, and would-be aunts, neighbors and assorted others. There’s nothing that says “I love you” like a beautiful homecooked meal.

I see you reference N Georgia in your posts. Im from Marietta originally but grew up in Millen, GA which is a stone’s throw from Statesboro, home of Georgia Southern University.

Nice blog. I found it today via a link on Food Gawker. Ill definitely bookmark your feed. I learned most of my cooking skills from my Grandmother and my Uncle who I swear could cook a door knob and make you love it.

  I actually grew up in southwest Georgia. Miller County specifically. I’m in NE Georgia now for my husband’s work, but I get back down home pretty often.

What’s the latest at Nana and BeeBop’s house? Has the heat zapped your cooking energy? Kick up the AC and turn on the stove!!
