Mamaw’s Corn Chowder
This easy to make chowder is rich, sweet, hearty bowl full of family love! Lenny’s Grandmother, his “Mamaw”, was an amazing cook.

Grampa Clarence’s Secret Sauce

Easy Lemon Garlic Roast Chicken
My grocery store had a sale on whole roasting chickens today. 68¢/lb. I love a good roast chicken, especially on a Sunday afternoon. So I couldn’t resist. It reminded me of Sunday dinners growing up. It was always a roast of some sort…chicken, beef, pork. And the smell would fill the whole house. We’d eat…
