My Tater Cakes 🥔 Ingredients: • 4–5 cups leftover cold homemade mashed potatoes • ¾ cup self-rising flour • ¾ cup self-rising cornmeal • Salt & pepper to taste • A little water • Vegetable shortening for frying Instructions: 1. Start with cold mashed potatoes – this is key! They hold together much better when they’ve been in the fridge overnight. 2. In a large bowl, add the mashed potatoes, flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. Pour in a small splash of water — you don’t want too much, just enough to help bring the mixture together. 3. Stir everything together until well combined. Remember, you can always add more flour, cornmeal, or water, but you can’t take it out, so go slow. 4. Heat a small amount of vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. (Don’t use too much — too much oil will make them greasy.) 5. Scoop the potato mixture and gently press into patties. 6. Fry until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip. After flipping, you may need to turn the heat down a bit so they don’t burn. 7. Remove and serve Y’all Hungry?

Chicken Gravy 🥣🐔 Ingredients: • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken gravy • 2 ½ to 3 cans water (use the empty gravy can to measure) • About 3 heaping spoonfuls self-rising flour Instructions: 1. Melt vegetable shortening in a skillet over medium heat. 2. In a bowl, mix cream of chicken gravy with 2 ½ to 3 cans of water. Set aside. 3. Add self-rising flour to the melted shortening. Stir with a fork until the mixture reaches the color you like for your gravy. (You may need to add a little water.) 4. Slowly add the gravy and water mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly. 5. Keep stirring - gravy takes time to come together. Don’t get discouraged. 6. Once the gravy starts to bubble/boil, it’s as thick as it will get. 7. Remove from heat, pour into a bowl, and serve with my Easy Way Biscuits. Y’all Hungry?

My Easy Blackberry Dumplings 🫐🥟 My Mom taught me how to make these blackberry dumplings when I was just a kid, and her mama taught her the same way. This recipe’s been passed down for generations in our family - sweet, simple, and straight from the heart 🩷 We’ve made dumplings every way you can think of - What kind of dumplings did your family grow up on? Ingredients: • 2 (6 oz) containers fresh blackberries • 4 cups water (do not drain — this is your juice) • ¾ cup granulated sugar • 2½ cups self-rising flour • 2% milk (just enough to form dough) • A small splash of vegetable oil Instructions: 1. Boil the Berries: Add blackberries, water, and sugar to a pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it boil for 5 minutes. Taste it — if it’s too tart, add more sugar. 2. Make the Dough: In a bowl, add flour. Pour in a splash of oil and slowly add milk until it forms a biscuit-like dough — not too thick, not too thin. 3. Drop the Dumplings: Spoon the dough into the boiling berry mixture until you’ve used all the batter or filled the pot. 4. Simmer: Turn heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 5 minutes. Don’t stir — just gently shake the pot. 5. Taste & Serve: After 5 minutes, check a dumpling to make sure it’s done. Y’all Hungry?
