US Cooking Tour Stop 10: Mississippi

The only time spent in Mississippi for me so far is just passing through. I would love to stop and have some authentic soul food in the Magnolia State, but for now making it at home is just as delicious. "Anything fried" is basically the food of Mississippi and I can certainly a…

US Cooking Tour Stop 9: Missouri

My husband is actually from Missouri and as it's a neighboring state to Oklahoma, I have my fair share of memories from The Show-Me State. There is one story, though, that sticks out in my mind and then the story came around again later in my life to absolutely blow my mind. Let me te…
