Welcome to my "recipe box." In lieu of an actual recipe box, I save all of my family recipes here so I can always find them (And, share them). Some are long time family recipes passed on from past generations and others are just favorites snatched from other sources as noted. They include a wide variety of recipes typical of Mississippi Coast Southern food.
