My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Brunswick Stew

I am a huge fan of "good" Brunswick Stew and this recipe is straight from Virgina and Edie. I was going to post mine but hers is so much easier not to mention healthier and every bit as tasty. All the ingredients are the same except I do add 2cups of frozen or fresh okra to mine. She also doesn't have all the chicken fat in hers that I do. I think I made the right choice.

This makes a big pot so invite friends and don't forget the Cornbread/Spoon Bread.

This freezes beautifully!

Brunswick Stew
8-10 servings
print recipe

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast boiled and shredded
2 large potatoes, peeled and cut into large cubes
1 10-ounce package of fordhook lima beans, fresh or frozen
2 cans shoepeg corn, or use yellow if you don't have shoepeg
1 large onion sliced
2 14-ounce cans chicken broth
1 28-ounce can tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
Black and cayenne pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients in a large pot or dutch oven. Cover and cook until potatoes are tender. You can let this simmer all day or in a slow cooker if you like. The longer it cooks the better it gets.

Edie's says "the celery seed and cayenne pepper are what makes this so dang good".

  1. This sounds like a delicious stew for when the weather turns blustery. My husband is out of town this week -- I don't dare make it until he gets back or I'll probably eat it all myself. :)
