Come On In
And Hug The Host


At age 17, I won a Hostess Award from Kraft Heinz, but the real prize was growing up with parents who showed me what genuine Southern hospitality looks like in everyday life.

“Focus less on your entertaining skills and more on your interactions – and the generosity and sincerity you show others.” My mother’s heartfelt advice became woven into who I am, and I hear her gentle wisdom whenever I need it most.

I’ve created this cozy corner of the South for you – filled with personally tested recipes, entertaining inspiration, and delightful Southern discoveries. I hope something here makes your heart skip a beat with joy. Know that your visit has already made my heart skip happily – simply because you’re here!

Grace, Charm, and Recipes that become Family Favorites are words I would use to describe Elizabeth Speight. Her attention to detail, ability to make you feel special, and scrumptious food – are all you ever need.

Beth and I met years ago while serving on the Charleston Junior League Cookbook Committee. We instantly bonded, and I call on her often for easy corporate gift ideas for my Real Estate clients.

Beth has become a friend I’ve never met personally, but I feel I’ve known her for a long time. There are no strangers in her book. She has a magnetic personality and instantly builds connections with others.
