Spread The Love

Some of my favorite foods are Southern through and through--Buttermilk Fried Chicken, Collard Greens, Okra, Eggs & Grits, Biscuits and Pimiento Cheese. You are talking about the ultimate comfort food! Welcoming people into your apartment, eating meals together, and anything that goes with Southern hospitality--the food says it all! 



Bring some of this goodness to the college apartment this weekend if you are watching NBA or NHL Playoffs, or just shooting the breeze. The Pimiento Dip is particularly easy and delicious if friends start showing up around the apartment to hang out. Simple, no-frill, no-skill college cooking, dipping, eating.

Add saltines, triscuits, veggies, baguette. 
Make a Spicy Reuben!
Whatever you do…Go Atlanta Hawks!
