Dixie's Down Home Dishes

Dixie's Down Home Dishes Life is hectic and I find solace in cooking. I’d love to prepare homemade meals for friends to simplify your daily mealtime dilemma.

My sauces are made from scratch, vegetables are always bought fresh. I can prepare meals for dietary restrictions too.

Finally some progress!! We’ve been without a kitchen since April. Installation of cabinetry began yesterday and they will return Monday. I picked out the slabs for the countertop but that may take up to 3 weeks. At least I can begin putting stuff away when they are done with the cabinetry.

Hi folks,

I had an amazing and very relaxing trip to the Mexican Riviera. Thank you all for your kind words and well wishes. I honestly haven’t felt that relaxed in years!!

When I returned home, my husband had started the kitchen demolition. So…I won’t be cooking again until I have a full kitchen. My cabinets are supposed to arrive on May 10th and then we need to schedule the workers for the cabinetry and the countertops. And last, new flooring. I’m praying things fall into place with scheduling the work and everything is done some time in May. Wish us luck!

The second meal I am making is Over the Top Chili which is made in the smoker by cooking the meat on a rack over the chili pot and then crumbling it into the the chili at the end for a warm and delicious flavor. This will be served with honey cornbread. ($6)

I will be taking a two week break after this weekend to prepare for and enjoy a trip to the Mexican Riviera with some of my childhood friends from Job’s Daughters.

Enjoy this beautiful spring weather!!
