Grammy Cooks and shares her thoughts…
When I saw the name of this recipe on the Southern Living website, I knew I had to give it a try. There is nothing so quintessentially southern as sweet tea. And in our family, we have a version of sweet tea that we refer to as Grandma Croy Tea. I decided to bake this …
Here’s another great recipe that is a standard, courtesy of my little sister who is our family cookie baker. She said this one was a favorite of our Dad. He liked oatmeal cookies, but was never a fan of raisins. This one became a favorite because it had all the great taste of an oatmeal …
I have a granddaughter who just turned eight and she loves pecans. Layla is unique in so many ways and having a passion for pecans at such a young age is just one more thing that sets her apart. It brings joy to my heart when she asks me if I will show her how …

Everyone in the family has their favorite Aunt Sue specialty and they’re not shy about making their requests. This cookie is one of my favorites, but it’s also the favorite of others in …
