The Secrets of Sweet Potato Pone
Send us a text
Down here, when the trees turn the color of sweet tea and the fields start whisperin’ of frost, folks know it’s time to ease into the rhythm of fall. The front porch becomes a sanctuary again — quilt over the knees, pecan shells crackin’, and that low hum of gratitude that only autumn can bring.
In Cornbread’s kitchen, the season starts with a pan of sweet potato pone — thick as memory, slow as forgiveness. The scent of orange rind and butter curls through the house, minglin’ with stories older than the wallpaper.
So tonight, Cornbread and Buttermilk invite you to linger awhile — we’ll talk about the sweetness of fall, the old recipes that warm our bones, and how a humble pone can turn an ordinary evening into a homecoming.
