{Giveaway is Closed}
Raised in South Georgia’s farm country, cookbook author, Gena Knox has a long history with the land and Southern cooking. Her newly released cookbook, Southern My Way: Simple Recipes, Fresh Flavor, features more than 250 pages of seasonal recipes (100+ recipes), streamlined for busy lives and accompanied by full-color photographs that portray a lifelong love affair with Southern food and culture. Gena shares her modern take on the region’s culinary specialties.
Says Gena,
“I want home cooks to read my book and feel as though they shared the same culinary experiences that I did as a child, like riding through the fields to check on crops with my father or making homemade biscuits alongside my mother in the kitchen.”
I love that!
Sounds very similar to the way I grew up. We didn’t ride through the fields, but walked through my parent’s garden plenty of times, freshly picked veggies at the ready.
With a contemporary spin on Southern cooking, Gena’s recipes rely on fresh, seasonal ingredients to make them work with little trouble. 
And guess what? We have ONE cookbook to give away to one of my readers. If you’d like a chance at this beautiful hardback cookbook, just leave a comment telling me your favorite dish to make for your family.
That’s it! I’ll leave the giveaway open until Sunday evening and choose a winner then.
Home made bisquits and chicken tetrazini are always welcome on our dinner table! What a great giveaway.
Comment #202 – Lovely website, Rhoda. Thank you for dropping by for a glimpse of my Goodwill Challenge. I’m also a lover of interior design but have no talent in this area. We have joined in cooperation with Brooke from Velvet and Linen to help transform our home. Should be a fun year. My husband is addicted to interior design blogs, so I’ll share yours with him. Love that you’re so thrifty and talented. ; )
I think my favorite dish to make would be honey baked chicken and mashed potatoes. This is a staple around our house. Thanks for sharing.
Chicken parm:)
My family loves Sausage Pepperoni Lasagne, a recipe I found in a Southern Living Christmas publication years ago. It’s a must-have meal when my boys are home from college. Love your blog!
Braised food.
Pork shoulder, beef stew.
Something that just…smells of love 🙂
Ok… I know I’m competing with 205 people and I am sure it will be many more by the end of this, but guys.. seriously, I never won anything online! And I need inspiration to cook for my family this year! We’re tired of my food! lol
What I cook and they all love is Potato Gnocchi. It’s a lot of work, but we all cook together, like I learned with my “nona”! 🙂
… and Mrs. Rhoda… when are you coming to visit me? I’m missing you on my blog! 😉
Have a beautiful day!

Chicken pot pie…all from scratch but instead of a pie crust I make biscuits cut them to the size of tea cakes and add a Tbsp of sugar to my dough..bake it all in the oven and its homey and comforting…its also dinner tonight.
Hi Rhoda,
I would love to win that cookbook. I think my favorite thing to make for my husband and I is probably soup and biscuits. I love making biscuits!
Hugs, Cindy
I like to make my family chicken n’ dumplings. It’s such a comfort food, and warms you right up in the middle of winter! 🙂
Thanks!
Those apples look too good for words. Throw my name in the hat!
Everyone loves my carrot cake!!!
We love King Ranch Casserole. It’s great when it comes out of the over and still tastes great when you eat it as leftovers 2 days later!
My family loves the Chicken Taco Soup recipe that my Mom came up with, it’s easy AND delicious!
Mac and cheese, pinto beans, cole slaw with corn bread
Lasagna with garlic bread and a green salad on the side. Everyone leaves the table happy! 🙂
Brunswick Stew with homemade biscuits and a fruit salad
Garbage salad – a salad with a little bit of everything tossed in …
My meatloaf always seems to be a hit, with corn and mashed potatoes on the side.
I like to make baked macaroni cheese for my family.
