I'm married with three sons, one daughter, and two step daughters. I live near a small town (thus the name) in south central Virginia. After working for many years I am now a stay at home mom. I love to cook and have so many cookbooks that they sometimes find themselves stored all over the house. We have two dogs, a cat, and a bunny. If my kids had their way, we'd have lots more pets!! I recently took up gardening so I guess you could say that is my latest hobby. It is such a joy to be able to grow your own fresh food and cook it up for your family!! I also learned to can what I grew this past summer and next summer...well...lookout!! I plan to can tons more food!!

smalltowngirl_VA's Highly Rated Recipes

  • Baked Corn Pudding

    Here's a comforting side dish that can turn even ordinary meals into something to celebrate. A Yuletide favorite with our entire family, it spoons up as sweet and creamy as custard. Guests give it rave reviews and always ask for the recipe. -Peggy West Georgetown, Delaware

  • Barbecued Chicken

    I still have the card for this recipe that a friend gave me 25 years ago—the stains on it attest to its frequent use! The chicken turns out juicy and tender, and the sauce makes a tasty gravy.

  • Broccoli Casserole

    “Everybody who has tried this side dish absolutely raves about it,” reports Elaine Hubbard of Blakeslee, Pennsylvania. “People who don’t even like broccoli beg me to make it.”

  • Brownie Crackles

    Chocolate chips and a convenient brownie mix provide the rich chocolate flavor in these sweet cookies from Ellen Govertsen of Wheaton, Illinois. Rolling the dough in powdered sugar gives them their inviting crackled appearance.
