Our Roots Are Showing!

We've been craving southern style food more than ever since our move to the Burgh! Luckily for us, there is a Cracker Barrel just down the road! We've been here for almost three weeks and have eaten there four times already. I guess our southern roots are showing through and our bellies will too if we keep this up!

You know what they say, "you can take the girl out of the south, but you can't take the south out of the girl." It's true. We even went to CB on Valentine's Day! Hahahaa - yes we did! I guess there's nothing wrong with a little comfort food when you're feeling slightly displaced from home.

(Home away from home! This is just a stock photo. If we had really been there that early, I would say we need a CB intervention!)

My grandma was a true southern cook (seriously - Paula Deen really has nothing on her!) Any meal she made was unbutton your pants type of delicious! Unfortunately, her talent did not rub off on me. I do regret not asking more questions while "helping" her in the kitchen. So, in honor of her and our renewed love of southern food - I'm going to try my hand at making a homemade southern fried chicken dinner this weekend! The recipe looks easy, but no cooking talent often leads to disasters! Pray that I don't set the apartment on fire!
