Hey Friends!
What a beautiful Spring day we are having here in Northeast Georgia. We here at The Southern Oven have been blessed with yet another busy day making delicious dinners for you! Thank you for your support! I am also very proud to say that the PayPal link is up on the blog, HOORAY! It is very simple to use......I think ;) Choose what size dish you would like, type the name of your dish, then click "Add to Cart". This will direct you to a paypal webpage (secure of course!) and if you would like to purchase a second or even third dish, you simply click "Continue Shopping" and it will take you back to our blog where you will choose your size and type the name of the dish, etc. Super exciting! So for all of you out there waiting to pay with a credit card, I believe we are up and running.....order away........
Well, I better scoot.....I plan to post more fabulous kitchen tips tomorrow, but for now, I have two little girls trying to climb on the furniture and one baby boy fussing up a storm! So with that picture in your mind, I say to you, more delicious details to come........

Rain, Rain........
Hi Everyone!
Good Rainy Wednesday Morning Friends! We here at The Southern Oven have been busy as bees this week creating some delectable dinners for some of you! I cannot tell you how blessed I feel that I have the support of such sweet friends out there. I have to say that the baked spaghetti has been the odds on favorite this week. Thanks so much again! Let me assure y'all that this is a labor of love for me and I hope all of you out there who have ordered can taste the "love" that I try to add to each dish. Now, let's get down to some business here......
I am about to create another "page" to the blog. It will contain all the ordering procedures, sizes and prices. I bet y'all are wondering if we will EVER get our Paypal button on this site. We will, but once again, this is a learning process and I am still learning. We will get it done, I give you my word!
Friday, I am having some photos taken of my food. We here at The Southern Oven are super excited to get these photos taken so that I can show you all out there how delicious our dishes look....if only we had scratch and sniff blogs so that you could not only see, but smell........yummy!
I also promised you all out there some kitchen tips. I do have many tips I have learned along the way and this week while making baked spaghetti, a few have come to mind.
Tip # 1: To crack open a garlic clove, place it on your cutting board, lay the side of your knife on top, and use your fist to smash the clove. Be careful not to cut yourself, it crushes the garlic, makes it not only easy to peel, but easier to chop AND you can get some frustration out!
Tip # 2: To clean your wooden cutting board after chopping onions and garlic, squeeze lemon juice over the surface, sprinkle with a little salt and use a soft cloth to scrub. Rinse well. You may wash and dry thoroughly at this point and all the onion and garlic smell will be gone.
Tip # 3: To make sure your pasta isn't too watery, place it back into your hot pasta pot after draining. Place back on the stove (after turning off the heat, of course). The heat from the pot will help "dry" the pasta. Keep stirring though, you don't want to leave it too long, it may stick to the pot. Drizzle olive oil and toss to keep your pasta from sticking together.
Well, folks, with that, we will say goodbye for now from The Southern Oven. Please come back often and order you and your family some supper! Our dishes also make wonderful gifts! More delicious details to come............

It's a Beautiful Day!
Hey y'all!
It's a great day here at The Southern Oven! Our Facebook Page is running and I am in the process of sprucing it up....I am so thankful for all of those words of praise and encouragement. We are truly blessed!
Now, I know I promised my Pay Pal link would be up on the blog by now and I apologize that it hasn't been done yet. It is in the works now and I will notify my faithful followers when it is up and running.
These past few weeks of setting up The Southern Oven has been such a neat experience. I am so happy that I chose this format to showcase the art of not only being a working mother, but running my own business from my home. What a challenge. So, I have to admit that I am learning how to juggle but I promise to never compromise on good food!
So, with that I will go for now, but please come back often. I will begin to post some pretty pictures of my casserole creations and as this blog progresses, and in between menus, you will be entertained by stories from my home, pictures of dream kitchens and dining rooms I have come across, and plenty of kitchen tips I have learned along the way.
Remember the menu options for this week. You still have until 3 p.m. today to order something for supper tomorrow! More delicious details to come.......
