Shallot Dressing with Greens
Shallots are a sweet and mild, the perfect substitution for garlic or onions. This dressing keeps well over night in an air-tight container

Buttermilk Biscuits
Whole wheat brings added nutrition to this southern delight! Serve these with soup for a complete meal or add them to your next brunch buffet.
Green Bean Soup with Fresh Dill
My Granny always cooked this wonderful, light soup in early fall after she harvested the last of the green beans from her garden. Garnish it with a dollop of sour cream and another tablespoon of fresh dill for an elegant first course or simple summer dinner. This soup is always more flavorful after it rests a day or two in the fridge.
