Looking for Big Mamas Recipes?

When was the last time you enjoyed a meal or Sunday dinner that was prepared by Big Mama?  For me it has been quite some time. But I still have very fond memories of Big Mama and the other women in my family all in the kitchen each preparing their signature dish to be served at Sunday dinner or during a holiday meal.  

I really miss those days we enjoyed so long ago.  In my family we all love big mamas recipes and her cooking. But what about you, do you have a Big Mama around who can still cook for you?  If not, no worries, we can look after each other now that she is no longer around.
