This recipe that I’m going to share with you today comes from a nanny (a southern grandmother). My supervisor, Amanda, said that her nanny used to have this on her coffee table from September through November. She has very fond memories of her nanny‘s autumn mix and I thought that you may like it too!

A few days ago, my mom was at the house and I told her that I was going to make pinto beans and cornbread. She saw the beans sitting on the counter, and she asked me if I knew how to make canned beans taste homemade. I did not know how to do this as I usually pour beans, water, and a little butter into a pot and boil them to smithereens.

I have searched the world far and wide for the perfect biscuit recipe. I love a very fluffy biscuit with a buttermilk taste. Recently on a camping trip, after three attempts in three days, I discovered the perfect recipe. It is surprisingly quick and the entire family loves them.

Cornbread recipes differ all over the country. Some people prefer sweet cornbread, Jiffy “yellow” cornbread, and others like southern “buttermilk” cornbread. There are a million variations in between. Although I like all kinds of cornbread, we cook buttermilk cornbread at home in Atlanta, Georgia.

God’s Hand at the Campground

My family loves to camp. A few years ago, we were in Williams, Arizona, at the Circle Pines KOA. While visiting Circle Pines, it hit me why I am drawn to “campers and campfires” so much. Camping is an activity that everyone can participate in.
