Discover some of the best Southern recipes for entertaining guests, whether it’s a special occasion for two or a seasonal gathering for twenty-two.

There are major milestones that demand the fine china and fresh flowers but in the South, no special occasion is needed to throw open the front door, set up a buffet line down the kitchen counter, and welcome your dearest loved ones over for the sort of meal they won’t soon forget.

Join Patsy Caldwell and Amy Lyles Wilson as they once again take us to Luckettville to meet the talented downhome hostesses who’ve said, "Y’all come over" a time or two in their day.

You’ll get the perfect menu suggestions for just about every occasion a Southern entertainer might encounter—soups to ladle up during the big game, savory meats to toss on the grill for summer picnics, and sweets to regale the crowd with during the last six weeks of the year.

In Y’all Come Over, some of the tasty recipes you’ll discover include:

Iron Skillet Roasted Chicken with White Beans and Tomatoes
Blackberry Lemonade
Cherry Cobbler Cupcakes
Good Neighbor Chicken Fiesta Soup

Get inspired to make your kitchen a place where friends and family will look forward to landing. All that’s left to do is say it—"Y’all come over!"
