This is an elegant way to dress up Pimento Cheese. I love the combination of the sharp cheddar with the sweet onions. Look for Vidalia or Walla Walla onions in your grocery store. They have a much sweet flavor than yellow onions.

Mashed potatoes are a favorite Southern comfort food. The goat cheese adds a modern twist to a traditional recipe and gives the potatoes an extra creamy texture.

Depending on what I am serving, I sometimes add crumbled blue cheese to this slaw. If you are making it ahead, add the apples at the last minute to prevent turning.

My mom always served homemade baked beans with hamburgers and home cooked fries. She inherited the recipe from my great-grandmother. I’ve added a variety of beans for color and texture, but it is still the same delicious flavor.

Not exactly southern, but this is one of my favorite side dishes to serve with Mexican fare.

This is my favorite go-to lunch. It tastes like traditional chicken salad with a nice crunch from the pecans, but this recipe is much better for you than most. It is perfect for stuffing pitas or on whole grain bread.

Summers in the south are usually full of Silver Queen Corn so I always try to get creative with ways to showcase the crop. This is a light pasta that pairs perfectly with grilled fare or simply toss with grilled shrimp for lunch.
