Hey, y’all! Welcome back to another delicious edition of Sunday Supper! If you’re new around these parts, Sunday Supper is my way to connect with YOU each week to share a little recipe inspiration and chat about what’s happening in my life. Let’s jump in…
As we get closer and closer to finishing up the Chinaberry House, my time with y’all might seem a little scarce. But bear with me, because we have some amazing stuff planned when we get settled in. We’re hoping to be about 4 weeks out now and things are moving at lightning speed. Finishing touches are going on outside, they’re moving dirt for the driveway, countertops went in the test kitchen, and they’re starting tile work! I’m going to do my best to get over there this weekend to get a few new shots of the progress. We’ve been so focused on getting things packed, making final decisions, and trying to keep the blog running, that we’ve just not had much time for anything else. It’s all going to be worth it though!
This week, I shared a recipe for Easy Corn Flake Cookies on the blog. These old school morsels are a lot like the old fashioned boiled oatmeal cookies, but are made with corn flakes instead of oatmeal. I’ve always loved them and knew they needed to be on the blog so that y’all could love them, too!
When I was a kid, I loved it when my mom would make these Porcupine Meatballs, so I’m sharing them also with you this week. They’re a lot like regular meatballs, but have instant rice in the mixture to give them a different flavor and texture. It’s the sauce that makes these super special, though. And it gets its signature flavor from an unexpected ingredient. And since Mom always served these with mashed potatoes, I’m sharing her Secret Ingredient Mashed Potatoes recipe to go with them.
When it comes to dessert, I’m sharing a favorite – Buttermilk Chocolate Cake. A very special friend shared this recipe with me a few years back and it’s been a favorite ever since.
And I can’t leave you without sharing a recipe that stopped me mid-scroll this week! This Instant Pot Spaghetti from my friend Robyn over at Add a Pinch looks like the perfect way to break in those new Instant Pots y’all got for Christmas! I mean, it all cooks right in the Instant Pot! How cool is that?!?! If you don’t know Robyn, you should. She’s just about as sweet as they come. And she’s an amazing cook, too! If you want to talk about chocolate cake, check out her Best Chocolate Cake Recipe {Ever}! I’m serious when I say it lives up to the hype!
Y’all have a great week!

I don’t know how this is a southern dish,I was born and rsised in the midwest and have lived here all my life and these have been a staple in my home. We also serve these with mashed potatoes and a vegetable. Just a note I’m officially a senior citizen, so I didn’t just claim this from a website
Oh, not everything here is Southern – it’s just the title of the site.

My son loved porcupine balls. I haven’t made them in years-he has passed -but this gave me some good memories. I live alone but I love cooking so I make a lot of food for my church. Your recipes
are very popular. Thank you.
I’m so sorry, Donna.

Hey Stacy, As soon as you get settled into your new ‘Chinaberry House’ forever home you need to start plans for the new and exciting “CHINABERRY HOUSE RESTAURANT”! That is the perfect name for it and with your recipes and your down-home southern people ability, it’s a natural! I can’t wait! Send me an invite, I’ll be there! Best of luck with everything!
