Till I Visit You Again South Louisiana

My time living in South Louisiana has drawn to an end. It's all kind of surreal.


I have been down here just shy of 2 years. To be honest I can't tell you if it feels like it has been longer or not. I've enjoyed my time down here. I wish I could have explored more of the city. That what happens when you do more work than playing.

I'm back in North Mississippi and closer to family. Instead if working at a college I'll be working at a hospital. I'm excited for this new part of my life and the new challenges it will present.



I know I'll be able to execute more of what I want to do on the side: Private dinners, get my Masters, small dessert orders, I got lots of ideas. I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my life and career.

Now I moved over Memorial Day weekend (thank you to all that have and continue to serve our country that have and are willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for our country so we can continue to live the lives we choose), I got moved back to North MS on that Sunday. My mom had picked up some ribs and I got them working for the next day. Still can't believe I was able to get some grilling in after all the moving and driving. 

Car loaded down. Still filled up a U-Haul trailer and a Tahoe. I accumulated a lot of stuff (yes my plants road shotgun)

We did keep it low key. We did some sliders, roasted some sweet potatoes, the ribs, baked beans, and my mom made some skillet brownies.

My mom loves being in the kitchen, and following recipes. That's where I push her buttons. I don't have to follow a recipe exactly. My method is to do the recipe once and then tweak it. Now baking is a different story. We all know baking is an exact science, I only play around with the flavor profiles mostly. I'm more prone to experimenting than my mom.

My mom loves Ina Garten, so the recipe she used for the skillet brownies is her's. They are divine! I always find that a good brownie of cobbler recipe is perfect for when I'm grilling or BBQing.

I'm excited about what I have in store for y'all. I'm in the process of developing some more recipes to share, and can't wait to see what y'all think! Happy Eating!
