Southern Bytes is where you will find a fun twist on Southern and family recipes - some are made Paleo, some are made in an Instant Pot, and most are made with a lot of seasonal produce.
Recipes Using Garden Produce & Wild Edibles
Spring & Summer Favorites
As winter ends, we are looking forward to getting the garden set up and enjoying homegrown produce. One of our favorite recipes is Homemade Dill Pickles and last year, we made a lot of them when I accidentally planted 5 cucumber plants.

I married a Cajun from Louisiana, so I only share my recipes with his stamp of approval. Try my Catfish Atchafalaya, Chicken & Sausage Gumbo, Red Beans and Rice, or my Raising Cane's Sauce!
Paleo Recipes
I love taking our favorite Southern recipes and remaking them with a Paleo spin to them. We are huge fans of Southern Food at our house, so the better it is for us, the better we feel about eating it.
