{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.
Chicken and Dumplings or Chicken Bog (a Paula Deen recipe that is delicious and easy)!
My family loves me cooking up the ole fashioned Sunday Pot Roast with all the fixins!
Spaghetti! Or chicken casserole… Southern comfort for sure!
On a snowy day like today, I like to make chili and cornbread for my hubby… the look of satisfaction on his face is priceless!
Thanks for the chance! What a lovely cookbook!
Ummm.. I suppose the recipe that I like to make for my family would be Hoppin John. Everybody in our house loves it! Hope I win!!!
What I love to make is a spinach leek quiche with Canadian Bacon.
My family’s favorite dish that’s made from scratch is a no-brainer – chicken and dumplings all the way!!!! They just can’t get enough of them!!!
I love making baked balsamic chicken for the family. They love it , it is easy and it is healthy!

My hubby loves some fried chicken and mashed potatoes!! Can’t get anymore southern than that!!
My family loves fried chicken! I use my grandmother’s cast iron skillet to fry the quartered chicken on the stovetop. Thanks for the chance to win! We’re moving to southern Georgia this spring and this cookbook would be a great start for a southern cooking library!
My favorite recipe is pork roast with krust and beer sauce and dumplings and red cabbage. A franconian tradition. Thanks for the chance to win.
cherry pineapple crunch
cheese grits!
For me it has to be my grandmothers recipe for her chicken gumbo..yum yum! Its soo good and one of the few dishes MY ENTIRE family agrees on and that right there is a big deal! We all love it and if we are lucky enough to have some left the next dayh (rarely) its as good if not better. Though I have lived in NY for 25 years now, somehow when I eat that I feel like I “tavel back” to my southern roots and I love it!
Chicken and rice! Add some slow-cooked green beans, cranberry sauce, and Sister Schubert’s rolls and that makes a good Sunday dinner around here!
My family’s favorite “go-to” dish is chicken and wild rice casserole served with green beans and corn. When I make it I usually triple the recipe so I can put two casseroles in the freezer. Hubby LOVES this dish and I think would eat it three times a week if I would let him! I would love to win the cookbook – being from the south I love southern cooking and I am always looking for new recipes!

My favorite dish to prepare for my family is slow cooked chili with all the toppings!
Our favorite go to meal is Apricot Chicken. I jar of apricot presearves, french dressing and packet of onion soup mix and you’ve got a great dinner!
It is so hard to pick one of our favorite recipes! But if I had to narrow it down to one it would probably be Baked potato soup. It is so fattening that we only make it on rare occasions, but it is so darn good! Especially when it’s snowing like it is today!
It hard to pick one but it would probably be taco soup or enchiladas
