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 Pocono Lake, 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.
