My family has a friend (Dave) in Canada who loves this dish. They serve it with brown gravy and cheese curds. I have adapted this dish to suit our southern tastes by using biscuit gravy and cheddar crumbles. 1 package steak fries 1 recipe biscuit gravy cheddar cheese crumbles Bake fries according to package directions. When fries are nearly done, make biscuit gravy. Make individual servings by putting fries on a plate, smother with gravy and sprinkle with cheese crumbles. Yum! ~Marsha...

Sweet Tea is a southern tradition. I grew up drinking sweet tea and now my grown children love it too. When I have guests over, I like to leave the tea unsweetened and serve it with sugar substitute and simple syrup on the side so my guests can choose. 2 large (family size) tea bags 8 cups filtered water 3/4 cup sugar In a small pot, boil 2 cups water. Remove from heat and add tea bags, cover and let steep for 10 minutes. Pour tea, sugar and remaining water into a one gallon container. Stir until all sugar is dissolved. Place in refrigerator until chilled. Serve over ice. ~Marsha...

Nothing screams southern like biscuits and gravy. If you add a sliced fresh tomato, hot coffee, scrambled eggs and bacon, you’ve got yourself a down-home breakfast!

These rolls are simple to make and taste wonderful! I like to make them for family gatherings or for company. Everyone loves them and thinks i spent all day baking. 3 1/4 cup Self Rising Flour ( White Lily) 1/2 cup Mayonnaise 2 cups Buttermilk 1/4 cup whole milk melted butter for brushing over the top of rolls In a large bowl stir together all ingredients. You can wisk slightly if you have any lumps but do not overmix or it will cause the rolls to be tough. Mixture should look like cake batter. Spoon into a cupcake pan filling each one 3/4 of the way. Bake at 350 degrees until rolls rise and are almost done. Brush tops with butter and return to oven to brown. Serve hot with butter on the side if desired. ~Gina...
