Josephine’s Spoon Bread

             Come in the Farmhouse Kitchen for….   SPOONBREAD

     Coming to Virginia in the late ‘60’s opened the door to lots of new culinary treats for me to experience.  There were many recipes for spoonbread to be tasted but my mother-in-law’s recipe became my favorite.
