SASSY & SOUTHERN

My Mother-In-Law and I are sassy southern ladies down to the core.
How can you tell?
~We always say Ma'am and Sir~
~The Phrase "bless her heart" comes up several times a day~
~We don't sweat, we glisten~
~Ya'll ask "how's the weather" we answer "humid"~
~Everyone is Dahlin'~
~sundresses, pearls, and flip-flops~
AND
~WE HAVE MORE FUN THAN SHOULD BE ALLOWED~

No wonder we get along so great!

The most important rule of a southern lady- the way to a man's heart is through him tummy! We love to cook for our husbands and are always trying new recipes and improving the ones we find. My Mother-In-Law and I are often asked for recipes, so... We decided to start a blog. Enjoy our recipes and tips; and feel free to make them your kind of sassy!
