Welcome to my channel. It's all about living well with what we have. I will be featuring lots of videos of good country cooking such as fried pork chops, country style steak, cornbread and much more. Most of my recipes are simple and use ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. I will also have DIY how-to's for minor jobs around the house, sewing projects, freezing foods and stories sharing what it was like growing up in the late 50's and 60's and even some of the fun and silly antics of my pets. I may even have some silly antics of my husband, Mr. Ron. I truly hope that my videos will be of help to others who would like to learn good old southern cooking and lots more videos will be coming soon. If you are enjoying my videos, please give me a thumbs up on your favorites and consider subscribing to my channel. Thanks for watching!

Looks delicious! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thank you for stopping by!
Simple and quick but wonderfully delicious, thank you for sharing!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching!
Growing up in rural Georgia and being very poor, we made Hoe Cakes with no sugar and no egg. Still make them that way to this day.
I would have tripled the recipe!
Thank you so much for this video got my first presto pressure cooker & making a pork roast & needed help to make sure I did it right. Fabulous video ❤❤
You're very welcome! I hope your pork roast turns out well. Thanks so much for watching!
This is a wonderful way to make cornbread. Make it fried and on the stove top. We love my cornbread cooked in the oven. However, in our part of the country, it's too hot to use our oven in the summertime. This is a great idea. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
It's quick and easy when you don't want to make it in the oven. You're right, it doesn't heat up the kitchen like the oven does. I think that's why Granny and my Mom made it this way so often. We didn't have AC when I was growing up, so it would get pretty hot in the summer. Thanks so much for watching!
@@ElainesCountryHome thank you for responding
This recipe is very good, thank you for sharing this. You forgot to put the oven temperature and minutes it bakes for, in the printed recipe.
No, I didn't forget, lol! The oven temp and times are at 8:45 in the video (at the point where I'm covering it with the foil). 350 for 40 minutes covered and then 5 to 10 minutes uncovered to lightly brown the cheese. Thanks for watching!
I will be trying your recipe easy then one I seen it was to much additive
Oh these look delicious. Can't wait to try them.
They really are. I've taken them to a lot of church dinners and they are devoured quickly. Everyone always asks for the recipe. I hope you try them, you won't be disappointed. I'm happy you stopped by, thank you so much for watching.
I sure did enjoy this video! Since the insta pots came out not many videos of ‘pressure cooker dinners’ have been shown. I have a Presto pressure cooker and love it thank you so much for this video! What else do you cook in your pressure cooker? Ide love to see a video of other things you cook in it. I do have an insta pot and I like it also . I have just got sad that the pressure cookers have been left out of our new videos. No fair. They are the forerunners and my mom used them too. Soups, stews, meats, vegetables, etc can be cooked in them. I’ve got a cookbook from them. The cookbook is about 6x4 inches-it’s kinda small but packed with lots of recipes. Thank you, your dinner looked great!! Made me think I have to go look in my freezer and find some roast and defrost it and cook one in my pressure cooker, along with some sweet potatoes and parsnips🤗😋
I have cooked stews, soups, chicken, stew beef and potatoes, and pork roasts in there as well. My favorite is the beef chuck roast that I did in the video, though. I find that so many younger people are afraid of the stovetop style pressure cookers so I thought that this video might help. I've been using mine for 50+ years and never had a problem. I just make sure that I never fill it more than 2/3 full. Have a great day and thank you so much for watching!
Hi there, hoe can you tell when the corn is cooked enough? Is there a time or a color that the corn turns to? Or do you taste a piece? Thanks for this new variation of cooking corn. Nice to know you teach 🎶 congratulations! Children need to study mare than the 3 R’s. Makes for a well rounded person. God bless you and your family.
It depends on how done you like it. I usually only cook mine until it becomes a brighter yellow and still has a little crunch. My father used to want his cooked down until it was mushy (which I really don't like, lol). Once it changes color, just give it a taste and see if it's to your liking. Thanks so much for watching!
I enjoyed your recipe and you telling me that you bought the squash (at the farmers market?) You have a nice easy voice to listen to. Thanks for this winner recipe. The yellow straight neck or crook neck squash is my favorite summer squash. Do you ever peel this squash? Some varieties have a thick skin/peel and doesn’t cook at the same rate. This casserole sounds great! I’ll have to look to see if I have any canned in my pantry, or it’s the grocery. I don’t think our farmers market has started up yet. I do grow some but I’m not too lucky with my squash, 1 thing or the other affects them but I still try. Do you have any recipes for ‘lemon squash’? Or that cute ‘patty pan’ squash? Or would you just put that variety in this casserole? God bless you and your family thanks for the recipes and the videos.
Aw, thank you. I usually buy the straight neck squash so I never have to peel it. Boiling it until it's tender works very well. I think this recipe would also lend itself well to zucchini, too. I'll have to check in to the lemon squash, I haven't seen that one before. Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching!
Looks great !!! Will be making !
Enjoy! I'm happy that you stopped by, thank you for watching!
I have to have lots lemon with my fish 😏
You can definitely add lemon to this, if you'd like. We don't particularly care for lemon, ourselves. Thanks for watching!
Good recipe, but I would marinate the fruit on liquor of choice , add zest of orange, and age by dousing the cake with liquor. I like my fruit cake to have a kick.
You can certainly do that, if you'd like. We don't particularly care for the taste of alcohol and orange zest can lend a bitter taste that makes most people dislike fruitcakes. This one is very buttery tasting and sweet. Also, the fruit is candied, so marinating it may not work as effectively. Of course, you could marinate the raisins. It's mainly just a matter of taste, so have fun making this recipe your own. Thanks for watching!
Great
Ty this would go great with the beans
They are great with beans. I'm happy you stopped by, thanks for watching!
That looks absolutely delicious. Thanks.
Thank you! I'm happy you stopped by, thanks for watching!
Is that a Presto? and 6 qt or 8 qt? Seems a perfect size but almost to big to be a 6.
It's a 6-qt Presto. I think it just looks bigger on camera. Thank you for watching.
I like simple
Where can I find the receipe?
The ingredients are listed in the description. I have all of the instructions in the video. Thank you for stopping by!
I. Don’t. Understand. About. Making. Your Pie. Crust. Will. You. Help. Me
I would be happy to help you. Could you please be more specific about what you don't understand? It's a pretty simple recipe. Thanks for watching.
Love this! I make this for the kids. Having it tonight for dinner! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
So good to see a real pressure cooker being used, Elaine. I refuse to switch to the newfangled cookers and why should I? Old pressure cookers are as good as they ever were and they last forever. 👍👍👍
I love mine! I had one of the newer ones and I gave it away. I love my old tried & true. I've had it for almost 50 years and all I have to do is replace the gasket and the overpressure plug once in a while. Thank you for watching, have a wonderful day!
Yum ❤
Thank you! I'm happy that you stopped by.

Is that one can of tuna?
Yes, it was the larger sized can. I don't remember the exact size, but you could also use two of the 6-ounce size cans. Thank you for watching.
Delicious ❤❤❤thank you
I'm so glad you liked this. Thank you so much for watching!
Your recipe is the same as my grandma and great grandmother’s and they made it in the 1930s and the 1940s
I'm not surprised. I may have tweaked it from a recipe in my 1941 New American Cookbook. My mom gave it to me when I first got married. I picked up a lot of pointers from it as well as some great recipes. Many of the recipes have to be adapted to today's cooking methods, but they're still good. I'm happy that you stopped by, thanks so much for watching!
Loved your pictures because I love cruises! Looks like you all had a wonderful time. Did your husband enjoy his pedicure while feeding the fish? Keep up the enjoyable videos!
He really did, Paulette. He's going to get another one in September when we go on our next cruise. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I took the picture of the coconuts at Del Mar resort in Cozumel. I'm so glad that you stopped by. Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!! I made them the other day and it was just like the brownies I had when I was younger. So good!!! The top was crackly and it was so chewy! This will be my go to recipe but my taste has changed a little in that I now prefer a richer chocolate flavor so I’ll probably use the Baker’s dark chocolate next time. Thank you 😊
Aw, I'm so glad you liked it! I haven't made brownies in a while. I'm so happy that you stopped by, thanks for watching!
Thanks .. looks very simple.
It really is and it doesn't make a huge mess to clean up. I'm happy that you stopped by, thanks for watching!
Delicious ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad that you enjoyed this recipe. Thank you for watching!
Looks delicious but won't be making this cake for 2 reasons measurements given cup measurements 2 sticks of butter haven't got a clue dont they have metric measurements in the US 21st century??. Second reason 6 eggs too many if they were less in numbers could have used alternatives to eggs but not for 6 eggs. Looks delicious though.
Hey there Dorothy. No, we don't use metric measurements in the US and I don't see that happening any time soon. However, I looked up the measurements for you. It didn't take long on Bing to find what I was looking for, so I hope it helps you. 2 sticks of butter = 227 grams. 360 grams of egg substitute = 6 large eggs. These conversions were pretty simple for me to look up. You can also go to Google and get a conversion chart. This is typically what I do when I want to convert a recipe to cups/teaspoons, from metric. Thanks, this is a very delicious recipe. Now that you have the metric equivalents, I hope you would consider trying it. Thanks for watching.

Mine are in the oven now, thank you!!!
Hope you enjoy them, thanks for watching!
Elaine, I just made this Recipe today,and it is hands down,the STANDARD,for an Excellent Fruitcake! Came out perfect,and tasted FAR better than the famous Jane Parker Recipe! THIS IS IT !!
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this recipe. I have no idea where my mother-in-law originally got the recipe, but she had been making this for years. She gave me her recipe and I've been making it for about 10 years now. We've always enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your kind comment and for watching!
NIce to see you again, Elaine! Sounds like you've been very busy. Glad your illness didn't interfere with your travel. The cake looks decadent!
Thank you, Denise. I hate that my chocolate chips sank to the bottom, despite coating them with flour. Oh well, it tasted good and had a great texture anyway. I'm going to slice it up and freeze the pieces tomorrow. My husband and I are both feeling a lot better now. It was just a really bad cold, no flu or covid, thankfully. I'm so glad that you stopped by my friend, thanks for watching!
@@ElainesCountryHome I know . . . those things can be disappointing. You did all that I know to do to prevent the sinking. But, it's still a lovely cake and I bet it tasted delicious!! Thankful you didn't have the flu or covid. RSV is bad around here - even for adults.

Bet her husband notes how quick she is with that heavy skillet😏. Great video.
Haha, yes he does! I'm happy that you stopped by, thank you for watching!
I have recently got a pressure cooker but its not Presto, it's Kuhn Rikon. You made that look so easy, would those timings work with any make of pressure cooker? Id love to try this and do a pot roast. Thanks from Northern Ireland.
I think that the timing would be pretty close. My mom used a Presto and a Mirro, and the timing was the same. I hope it works out for you, have a blessed day! Thank you for watching.
Been making this recipe for a couple years now. Always come back to make sure I get the temp & timing down as I have the memory of a hamster 😅 Hands down the easiest baked COD recipe on the internet. Delicious. Add bacon fat/bacon pieces to Green Beans to excite the meal a little, lol. Thank you so much, @ElainesCountryHome
I'm so glad that you enjoy this recipe. I agree, I always add bacon grease to my green beans and then cook the liquid down until they're almost dry. It gets rid of that canned taste and adds so much flavor. Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching!
Love this
Thank you! I'm happy that you stopped by, thank you for watching!
I like your method of dipping the cod in the butter. I usually pour butter on top, and it feels like I'm missing the bottom side. Thanks for the tip!😊
You're very welcome! Have a wonderful night, thanks for watching!
