From Home Cooking at Riding out the Recession
These two dishes come from the Church my Sister Louise attends in Dowling Park. Dowling Park is in North Florida (Dub calls them Yankees), and right near the Suwannee River.
This is where I grew up, and many of the stories I tell were actually taking place right here! I tell you, time sure flies, doesn’t, it? At times, looking back, it seems just like yesterday!

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
