Carolina Mountain Cooking Recipes

By A Cowboy's Wife | December 5, 2014

It’s been a long time since I’ve shared this ebook with you, in fact, I think it’s been a few years, but because it’s a #1 selling ebook here on My Wooden Spoon, I thought I’d revive the post again for you.    You can buy the ebook for $5 and if you scroll down, you’ll see all the recipes that are included, and why it’s so popular!

Do You Remember Sitting Down To Dinner At Your Grandmother’s House?  “Cat Head Biscuits And Garlic Fried Chicken”

Carolina Mountain Cooking With Parlie And Jewel

Cat Head Biscuits Carolina Cooking“The Taste Of Traditional Southern Mountain Cooking”

Highly acclaimed, best selling signature cookbook contains 125 pages, 180 hand picked, family tried and tested, real southern recipes.

This Is Real Country Cooking Y’all!  Just imagine sitting down to a big ol’ plate of Garlic Fried Chicken, Pork Loin And Gravy, Creamy Chicken And Biscuits, or a delicious Barbecued Chuck Roast. How about home baked breads like Whipping Cream Biscuits, Molasses Oatmeal Bread, real Southern Cornbread, or a big plate of fresh, hot Cat Head Biscuits?  Let’s not forget vegetables and side dishes such as Mamma’s Young Peas And Potatoes In White Gravy, Fried Green Onions, Golden Baked Potatoes, Fried or Scalloped Corn, Nine Day Slaw, and maybe even a big ol’ pot of Potato Dumplings.

And now for dessert:

Oh my, the desserts! If there’s one thing that southern cooks excel at, it’s incredible homemade desserts! Do you remember the delicious cakes, pies, and cobblers that your mother and grandmother used to make?  Cakes like Nanny’s Homemade Chocolate Cake with real Chocolate Fudge Frosting, Grandma’s Spice Cake, a Coconut Black Walnut Cake, or an old fashioned Applesauce Cake. And fresh baked pies and cobblers like Buttermilk, Chess, or an incredible Vinegar Pie. Or maybe a Creamy Pumpkin Pie, Brown Sugar Pie, or any number of fresh fruit cobblers like Blackberry, Blueberry, or Strawberry. Have you ever had Peach, Blueberry, or Strawberry Dumplings? These are so good they will almost make a grown man cry. Do you remember waking up to fresh, hot “Cat Head Biscuits” smothered in real Southern Chocolate Gravy? This is a child’s and chocolate lover’s dream come true!

Wouldn’t It Be Wonderful To Gather Your Family And Friends Around A Table Spread With Delicious Home Cooked Meals?

All of the recipes in this cookbook are simple to prepare using everyday ingredients that are readily available. “Cat Head Biscuits” is more than just a cookbook. Along with these wonderful real home cooked recipes it also contains humorous and entertaining glimpses into life growing up here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Ever wondered what would happen when a bunch of jealous kids cut down their dad’s prized cherry tree or the outcome of a young boy’s attempt at making his own skis by nailing boards to his best pair of Sunday shoes?  Do you know how many ways there are to eat a “Cat Head Biscuit”?
