Recipes and Stories from the Heart

Hi, I'm Mama Sue and I am so happy to welcome you into my kitchen. I cook like my mother did - southern and simple. I love to share the Lord and stories from my kitchen.

Never did I expect that at 73 years old I would be a breast cancer "thriver" and a social media influencer (whatever that means), but here I am cooking and sharing recipes three times per week.

If you would like to follow my gardening, thrifting adventures, and more of my personal life, you can go to my Home with Mama Sue page.

I am glad that you are here to follow along and remember, be salt and light!
