A Sweet‑Savory Southern Casserole for Any Gathering

There’s something about a baked bean casserole that feels like it belongs at every Southern table — whether it’s a backyard cookout, a church potluck, or a Sunday supper with family.

This version leans into that classic comfort but adds a little twist that makes people stop mid‑bite and say, “What is that flavor?”

Cake Mix Peach Cobbler

It's a little early yet for fresh peaches, and thank goodness after a few weather-related bad years, this summer's peaches are looking to be a bumper crop!

I love fresh peaches and the past several years, I've been purchasing peaches from different orchards all across the south, just so that I could get a taste of peaches from lots of regions. It's actually rare for me to buy grocery store peaches, although I will search out some regional peaches at our farmer's markets at peak season.

In the meantime, thank goodness for frozen and canned peaches!
