I’m a southern girl at heart, and while I enjoy the sun, sand, and surf that California has to offer, sometimes I miss the hospitality that us Southerners are known for. But what I miss even more than that is the food. When I start to feel a little homesick, I whip up my favorite Southern dishes and make sure to add plenty of Philly.
A southern dessert just isn’t complete with out peaches. Philly’s Summer Fruit Tart is packed sweet peaches, which always makes me think of home. Chicken and coleslaw is another southern favorite. Add Philly and turn it into a Chicken & Slaw Sandwich with Bell Pepper Relish. This is a great dish to enjoy during hotter days. The most infamous of southern dishes is chicken and dumplings. Slow cook it with Philly Chive and Onion Cream Cheese and you’ve got Slow-Cooked Chicken & Dumplings that are to die for. No meal is complete without at heaping helping of creamy mashed potatoes on the side. Use Philly to whip up Mashed Potato Magic. Of course, no mention of southern dishes is quite right without the inclusion of sweet potatoes. Add Philly and you’ve got yourself a real Sweet Potato Pie.
Next time you’re making a meal grab the Philly and any one of these recipes and offer up some southern comfort to the ones you love. They’ll be much obliged to repay you for your kindness.
