Growing up, my Momma always made enough food to feed an army. Her chicken spaghetti was a favorite, especially at the church’s potluck suppers.
Momma was an amazing home cook, and no matter what dish she prepared, it was always a hit, with children and adults. Her chicken spaghetti recipe is still made in kitchens all over North Mississippi.
Give it a try in your own kitchen this week. I guarantee it will be a hit.

Minute Chocolate Mug Cake
1 Coffee Mug
4 tablespoons flour (not self-rising)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
Small splash of vanilla
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't worry.
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
