Beth Ann Chiles/ Cooking, Recipes/ 12 Comments/ 2860

Mr. Diamond is coming home this weekend and instead of asking him to grill something the minute he gets home I decided to make one of my favorite “southern” dishes.  It takes very little prep work and is as amazing as it sounds. With few Continue reading →
