Buttermilk Pound Cake
Pound cake is one of my favorite kinds of dessert. In the summertime, when fresh berries are plentiful, I’ll pile a handful of berries on top of a slice of cake and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream. This is a large cake, so I usually freeze half of it to enjoy at […]
Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Biscuits
This recipe was shared by an old gal from West Virginia . The chicken just melts in your mouth and the biscuits are nice and tender.

It is especially good when you have a garden full of vine ripened tomatoes, especially those sweet little cherry tomatoes. Yum! Be sure to use a good quality wine vinegar for the […]
Brownies (Cake like)
Many folks enjoy a cake like brownie and this one was always a winner with my co-workers. It’s loaded with chocolate chips and nuts, and is covered with an easy to make chocolate icing. Or, skip the icing and simply dust the brownies with powdered sugar.
