The Mom Kind0 CommentsRecipes, Side Dishes

Holidays bring a ton of joy, and even more food! We have a vast array of dishes that we normally serve like deviled eggs, baked beans, potato salad, and casseroles. This classic green bean casserole is a dish that I have only made in the last decade. Growing up in the south, I had never heard of this amazing dish.

My dad even asked for it the…

Fresh Lemon Herb Green Bean Recipe

One of the easiest things to grow in the garden is green beans. No matter where you are, these hardy little plants can take a decent amount of heat or cold. There are so many varieties, but they all have the same core flavor. It is so easy to get stuck with just simply cooking them with onions, butter, salt and pepper. Where I do love that good old southern, hearty green bean flavor, fresh can taste just as amazing. Many of dinners I make need to be accompanied by a much lighter side item. The latest way to serve…

This simple and easy. Southern Potato Salad Recipe is very versatile. You can easily omit or adds ingredients to make it your own.

So if you have someone who doesn't like one of the ingredients (except potato, you kinda have to leave them in for it to be potato salad), you can easily omit them and more of something you prefer in its place.

I grew up with eating home cooked meals. One of my all time favorites as a kid (and as an adult) was my mom's baked beans. The recipe was super simple, but so delicious. Now as a mom, I do a lot of cooking with some very classic recipes. After going to many get together's over the years, I have found that a majority of my friends and family in the Midwest use a major name canned baked beans. Growing up, I did not even know such a thing existed. The closest I thought of canned baked beans was buying…
