Cream Cheese Biscuits, fluffy and tender biscuits Southerners love to make. We love them with honey, syrup, jelly, and even a piece of country ham nestled in for a quick sandwich treat. Only three ingredients, self-rising flour, butter, and the star of the recipe–– cream cheese! Who would have thought a cookbook solely about biscuits would grab such an interest in me. Nathalie Depree's Southern Biscuits cookbook did just that. You can find every biscuit imaginable, from the traditional ones all the way to the outlandish ones. She goes into great detail on all the ins and outs of making the perfect biscuit. I have always been a big fan of her in her television days on PBS in the '80s, not to mention all of her many cookbooks. You could say she is my all time favorite Southern cook.

Chocolate Malt Cupcakes {Birthday Celebration}
Chocolate Malt Cupcakes, moist malt chocolate cupcakes with malted milk chocolate buttercream frosting. For those who love malted milkshakes, you will enjoy this delicious cupcake.

We cut a watermelon and had these cute cupcakes that were the star attraction. There are a nice swimming area and
Mrs. Little's Pickled Figs Recipe {A Family Favorite}
These Pickled Figs are an excellent addition to any relish tray, or you can serve them as an appetizer with cheese. You will find that they are rich in flavor and will change all your thoughts about how unappealing figs can be. They have become one of the recipes we so look forward to making every year. Jim's Mother has the fig tree, and as soon as the figs are ready to be picked, we get 3 quarts to go into a big pot. You cook them with vinegar, sugar, and pickling spice for 10 minutes three consecutive days. My children cannot wait for the third day when we put them in the canning jars. I have to get them sealed up really fast because when they start eating them, they can't stop, and now the grandchildren are following right in with them!
