Classic Pineapple Upside Down Cake, {Granny's Recipe}

This classic Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe brings back so many memories of a fancy dessert that graced my Mother's dinner table growing up in the 60's. The original recipe came from Dole in the 1950's, and after that you could make it as elaborate as you wanted to by adding pecans, coconut and other ingredients, but Mother always made it with the simple recipe. 

Good Morning! Morning Glory Muffins

Pure joy is what describes these Morning Glory Muffins . What else could they be described as with all these yummy ingredients -- carrots, apples, sweetened coconut, golden raisins, walnuts, and cinnamon. Most recipes call for oil in the recipe, but I am such a fan of butter in muffins, I made these with oil and butter. You will find that the butter really intensifies the moistness and rich flavor of all the ingredients. Just know these super moist muffins are tastier the day after they are baked, but who wants to wait that long?

Cornbread and a Cold Glass of Milk

Baked Cornbread,  cut a slice and pour cold milk over it in a glass.  In the South this is poor mans food but no one ever knew it because it taste like your eating like a king! When I came into the Little family, I was used to eating Southern Buttermilk Cornbread . Needless to say the longer I was in the family, the more I began to have a taste for sweet cornbread. Traditionally, sweet cornbread contains equal portions of flour and yellow cornmeal with a liberal amount of sugar.  There is one thing that has not changed since I came into the family and that is my affection for a late night snack of a cold glass of Milk and Cornbread.
