Mrs. Snell’s Southern Pecan Pound Cake

Mrs. Snell’s pecan pound cake went to every church supper in White Springs, Florida, and to every kitchen counter where someone needed a lift. Her recipe, printed just as she wrote it, takes a ridiculous amount of pecans. Use every one.

Saucy Short Ribs

DeeDee Dalrymple spent a whole summer getting these right. Make them earlier in the day, pull them from the oven to serve, and save the leftovers for chili.

Marinated Pork Tenderloin

The pork tenderloin I make most, from DeeDee Dalrymple's Effortless Entertaining. It marinates overnight and waits for you at room temperature.

Chicken and Wild Rice Casserole

DeeDee Dalrymple's chicken and wild rice casserole goes in the oven when the first drink is poured. Make it up to two days ahead, and it freezes well.
