Holiday Recipe~Grandma McAfee’s Blackberry Cobbler! 

Okay if anyone was to ask me what my favorite cobbler is, I would say Black Berry. Of course with some vanilla ice cream ❤️. 
This recipe was submitted by Natasha McAfee! 
This next one is from my husband’s late Grandma McAfee. I never personally had hers, but was told that it was one of her signature recipes. The pictures are from when the kids and I made it awhile back, and we used fresh blackberries from the pasture instead of canned.


Yummy!!!!! Who’s ready for this?

Holiday Recipes~Nannies Dressing 

Dressing!!! Mmmmm. This is something that can make or break a Thanksgiving for me. Lol. I love my moms dressing and until this dressing below have never liked anyone else’s.

 The first time I came to Mommajos for a Holiday and there was dressing I almost passed it up. I looked at it and thought wow that looks like my moms I better try it. Mmmmmm mmmm am I glad I did.  

So here it is Mommajos -Nannies Recipe!  Now she can pass it down to her smiles!!  

To me my Lil Nannie was the best cook in the world. She made all kinds of yummy homemade recipes but the taste of her dressing lives on in my mind. I’ve played around with this recipe and have finally perfected it to match my memory. I hope y’all enjoy! BlessingS ~Carol
