As you know, our company publishes Bake from Scratch, a magazine and book series for people who are passionate about baking. I mean … passionate! I have rediscovered my desire to bake more and learn new techniques. It is a far cry from the way I baked growing up. But I have to tell you that cooks like me love …
Dear Friends, I would rather have a great cookie than just about anything! It was always a treat at our home growing up to make cookies. Mom would make the dough the night before and chill it. Then at the appointed time, she would divide up the dough ball evenly. We would each take our part and begin to roll …

Recently, I received a reader request for a simple recipe. I love special occasion dishes, but when I read this, I was totally on board.

With cane poles hanging out the windows, we got in his white Chevrolet Bel Air, and off we would go. I was not a fan of worms, so Granddad Hill showed us how to make …
Today is National Pound Cake Day! Well, at my house, it is every day! That is Neal’s absolute favorite cake—especially hot out of the oven. I had a sweet older lady make a “real pound cake” for me (as she called it), and she said her method was the only way to make a true pound cake. Trust me, it …
Whether or not you’re a Southerner, it’s no secret that biscuits in the South are a way of life. Born out of necessity and frugality, biscuits provided a high-calorie breakfast for those who worked a lot and did not have much to spend on meals. Now our nostalgic and familiar staples are found in nearly every Southern restaurant and home …
