Jody- love this blog! I feel inspired to start cooking like this- you make it look so easy. And it is good, Southern food that those of us in Georgia love-
I'd love to hear your input on what types of kitchen tools, utensils, pans, etc. you find best to cook with as well as storage containers (like for flour,etc) when you do your blogs. Also what doesn't work well. Also, will you include in your blogs (like with the creamed corn) how to tell when it is "done"? Does it matter what type corn you use-sweet vs. field corn, white or yellow, etc etc.
Thanks so much- hope all goes well with your new arrival!
Thanks for following my blog, Jenny! I am so glad that so many people are interested, and THANKS for your questions and suggestions.
My kitchen "tools" and utensils vary. I love Pampered Chef items, but I have a wide variety of things. I'll try to feature some of these items in a future blog. My sweet husband bought me Emiril's Cookware this past Christmas and it is WONDERFUL. Lovin' it!
As far as storage, I have 3 big glass jars on my counter. They are for flour, sugar, and rice, and you can write the name of each item with chalk on the front of them. I got mine at World Market, but you can probably find them elsewhere, as well. When doing a video blog, I have some items in bowls. I use measuring cups on occasion, so I might have used one for flour.
With the creamed corn, I cook it for 20 mins because it seems to help it become creamier. It would probably be "done" within 10, but you can taste it to see if it's tender. Whatever corn you prefer will work. I used yellow in the video blog.
Thanks for all of your questions. That's the part that makes it so much fun! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Jody! I made homemade chicken noodle soup this past weekend and a peach cobbler last week. They both turned out great. Even my grandmother who is an excellent cook of course, said that she had never made homemade chicken noodle soup. My husband, Chad, loved it. I plan to try the fried okra tonight with some cubed steak.
I would love to see a great recipe for potatoes with a butter or cream sauce when you get a chance.
Ava Drew is a pretty newborn. I know you are glad she is finally here.

Hey Jenny! A quick potato dish we love is to take red potatoes and boil them until just tender. Be careful not to overcook them or this won't work. Drain the potatoes and put back in the same pot. Then add about 1/2 stick of butter, salt and pepper, and whatever dried herbs you like. I like tarragon, basil, thyme, and parsley. Then you just mix it all together (breaking the potatoes up a little bit). That's it! Let me know what you think!
