Easy Shepherds Pie with Leftover Roast is a perfect recipe for a weeknight meal, gathering family or to take and bless someone. Sharing a meal is important, but making it happen every day is hard. This make ahead meal with leftovers turns one meal in to 2. Its also a great thing to make a roast for your family and from the same ingredients and leftovers take a meal to others. #shepherdspie #roast #mealtotake #potluckmeal #mealsthatgather #mealstoshare

Easy Shepherds Pie with Leftover Roast is one of my favorite comfort foods. My mom accuses me of wanting to make a roast just so I can have Shepherds Pie. And, she may be on to something, but I’ve won over Mr. McKinney too and since both of us love a Sunday Roast,...

Pimento Cheese seems to have a bad reputation. Not this one! Made with smokey cheddar and pepper jack cheese, Not Your Grandma's Pimento Cheese spread is perfect for a holiday gathering, celebrating New Years, at a wedding or baby shower, or the Super Bowl. But add it to a taco or on top of a burger and you are sure to be invited back to any Southern Affair.

Advent: Fruitcake

I’m probably a fruitcake for throwing this topic in the mix. But what is Christmas without a fruitcake debate? So, I pose the question, fruitcake or no fruitcake?? That really is the question. I’m not a fan of cherries. I’m not a fan of candied fruits. I’m not a...
