Hello, I’m Sharon the blogger, recipe developer and photographer for Grits and Pinecones, a southern cooking and hospitality blog.
I’m all about creating delicious recipes with a Southern flair that are quick, easy and PERFECT to share with family and friends. Nothing fussy or complicated, just “go-to” dishes for the everyday home cook.
Besides scrumptious well-tested recipes on my blog, you will also find expert cooking tips and tricks, step-by-step tutorials, and step-by-step process photos for each recipe.
I have been cooking, developing and reimagining recipes for my family and friends for over 40 years. I have also been a guest columnist and had my recipes featured in the weekly TLC Life section of the Tallahassee Democrat-USA Today Network-Florida for over three years.
