Deep Fried With Gravy: Just another southerner missing Mama's Cooking

Being born and raised in the great state of Texas, has spoiled me when it comes to my expectations of High School football, the southern graces and most importantly the food. Nothing will ever compare to coming home from a long semester 2000 miles away in Ogden, Utah.

This is a southern cooking blog, where I intend to make at least one southern recipe a week that I've collected from my mama over the summer break. I had to practically beg my mother for her recipes and swear to never let her barbecue sauce recipe out in the open, so unfortunately I can't include that, but everything else is fair game

All of these are bone sticking, fattening recipes that aren't for the faint of the heart or those on diets, just fair warning. One of the staples is bacon grease so I will probably have to make bacon weekly to keep up with the demands of the delightfully fattening bacon grease, or as my mother calls it liquid gold.

This blog is for my Media Writing class that I am taking my Sophomore year at Weber State University. Being super homesick, I thought what better way to make Utah feel like my home than to cook something of my mother's once a week and have people enjoy it with me... mostly because I don't want to end up eating all of it and gaining more weight than I already am going to.

Since I haven't cooked anything yet, here is some pictures of my favorite things to eat in texas with some of my favorite people. (massive photo over share)
