Recipes from DeeDee's Kitchen
Pull up a chair. Every recipe on this page started the same way, in somebody's kitchen, with the stove already warm and a story already being told. Some of these dishes came straight from my Momma Nancy, passed down like a cast-iron skillet from her hands to mine. Others I picked up along the way, in Napa, in New Orleans, in Jamaica, wherever my spirit said yes.
These are not just recipes. They are the soul of my table, written down so you can bring a little of it to yours. Pour yourself a glass, and let's cook something worth remembering.
With love from my kitchen to yours, DeeDee
Seared pork chops simmered low and slow in a rich, savory gravy until they are fall-apart tender. Spoon it over a mound of white rice and let it soak up every bit of that gravy, this is Sunday comfort on a plate.

Layers of vanilla wafers, sliced bananas, and silky homemade custard, chilled until every bite melts together just right. This is the dish that disappears first at every family gathering.

Crisp on the outside, tart and tender in the middle, this is Southern hospitality on a plate. I like to serve mine with a spicy remoulade and a nice glass of something bubbly.

Falling off the bone, deep and velvety, with whispers of dark cherry and cedar from the wine it braised in. Pour yourself a glass of the same bottle you cooked with, that is my rule and I do not break it.
