{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.

I love to make pies for my family. And it has to look as good as it tastes!
I enjoy making all sorts of things for my family, but lasagna and chili verde are two favorites that I really like making. Oh- and a fantastic European style bread is a staple here. I make that a couple of times a week and everyone loves it.
Hands down my favorite home cooked meal to make is pot roast. I’m not normally a red meat eater, but something about all of those root veggies and a thick rich gravy with some kind of potato on the side…mmm it’s delicious!
Homemade soup with brocolli cornbread! YUM-O !!
I enjoy cooking yummy soups since it’s been so cold and snowy and throw in some fresh bread with my new red kitchen aid mixer!

I love making Chicken Noodle soup in the winter. I even add homemade noodles, if I have time. I add fresh carrots, celery and mushrooms. It is warm and comforting after a week of “work stress”.
