Happy March! We still have a little snow left from a late winter storm earlier in the week however I see signs of spring popping up in our flower beds. The snow has been around since Sunday which is also the day we had planned a Southern meal for Sunday Supper. We decided that even if everyone could not make it over to the house, due to the road conditions and reports of more snow on the way, that we would go ahead with the menu.
About a week ago Mr. Wonderful decided to make his Jambalaya and asked if I would make hush puppies to go with it. I agreed even though I had never eaten a hush puppy and did not really know what it was, much less how it tasted. The Jambalaya is a recipe from one of his cookbooks that he has made before however it took me some time to choose a dessert recipe for this Southern meal.
I finally settled on a Pecan Pie Cake recipe.
Sunday was busy so I was a little bit behind which meant I did not get the cake started until early afternoon. By the time I was ready to frost the cake it was after 4:00 but finished it just as the kids arrived. Whew! It may not have looked just how I intended but it tasted great.
The Jambalaya was wonderful as always and the hush puppies were very easy to make and tasked great with it. I used a very basic recipe however next time we make them we plan to spice them up a bit more. The Southern Sunday Supper was perfect comfort food for a snowy day.
Have a wonderful Friday!
Wow!
