Welcome to my kitchen
Good food is made for sharing — so pull up a chair on the porch.
I am Granny Mae Whitfield, and I live in rural Georgia. For over sixty years I have baked pies, fried chicken and put up preserves for my family. Here I share the recipes and hacks that really work — simple, thrifty, and always with a glass of sweet tea on the porch.

About us
A life spent in a Southern kitchen
I was born and raised in rural Georgia, and for over sixty years I have cooked for a big family and a whole lot of neighbors. I learned from my mama and my grandmama, from church suppers and county fairs, and today I share here every recipe and every little kitchen hack that a long Southern life has taught me.
