Cornbread and Buttermilk, a Southern Puppy story.
“Just Two Crazy Kids and a Puppy”.
The Cornbread and Buttermilk: Southern Dogs Manifesto
“Food, Family & the Faithful Dog”
“Here in the South, the kitchen may be the heart of the home,
but the dog lies faithfully beside the hearth.
We believe:
- A Southern dog is more than a pet—they’re kin.
- Dogs are woven into our stories, fields, porches, and family traditions.
- Training a puppy is a sacred rite of patience and love.
- A dog is a bridge between generations—Granddaddy’s bird dog, Mama’s porch guardian, our children’s playmate.
- The South teaches us to live slow, savor moments, return to the land—and a dog teaches us the same.
- Kitchens, gardens, and hunting fields share one truth: life tastes sweeter when shared with a good dog.
- We honor the dogs who came before, celebrate the pups just starting out, and cherish the lessons they teach us.
We will laugh, learn, and love alongside this new life in our household.
Here, we lift up:
- Stories of the dogs who shaped our memories.
- Practical wisdom for raising and training pups with gentleness and respect.
- Tales from our region—coon dogs in the hollers, bird dogs in pine country, yard hounds by the clothesline.
- The way dogs bring families together and root us deeper to a place.
Our pledge:
To tell stories that smell of wood smoke, wet leaves, biscuits on Sunday morning—and a puppy asleep under the table.
To teach with humility.
To speak with gratitude.
To welcome every listener to the porch, where puppies tumble in the grass and memories live on.
This new chapter is for our puppy—Truffles, and for all Southern family dogs, past and future.”

Cornbread and Buttermilk, a Southern Puppy story.
Healthier Eating Choices for 2025
Well now, the holidays have passed, leavin’ behind the echoes of laughter, a tangle of ribbons, and maybe a button or two straining on our Sunday best. January has a way of sneakin’ in, quiet as a cat on a porch rail, remindin’ us that indulgence always comes with a reckoning.
But down here, we don’t see that reckoning as a punishment—it’s a chance to reset, to honor the bounty of the land in ways that nourish not just the body, but the soul. Today on Cornbread & Buttermilk, we’re takin’ a long look at how the South does healthy eatin’. And let me tell you, it ain’t about givin’ up the skillet or forsakin’ the sweetness of a roasted peach. It’s about leanin’ into the wisdom of those who came before us—stretchin’ a sweet potato into a cornbread, or coaxin’ the best out of greens kissed with a bit of smoke.
So come on in, pull up a chair by the fire, and let’s talk about how to start this new year not just lighter, but wiser, carryin’ the flavors of the South with us in every bite.”
