My son’s all-time fave? Slow Cooker Pork Chops. 🐷💛
This version skips the ranch packet and goes full DIY with pantry spices for that rich, cozy gravy. Just toss it all in the slow cooker and let the magic happen.

Old-fashioned Southern peach cobbler like grandma used to make 🍑🧈
Sticky sweet peaches. Buttery, golden crust. No shortcuts.
This one’s the real deal — not a dump cake in sight.

Got a scoop of vanilla? You’re gonna need it.

There’s something about rum cake.
The kind your aunt wrapped in foil.
The kind that made the whole kitchen smell like butter and brown sugar.
The kind that got better the longer it sat.
Old-fashioned happiness.
