There’s going to be those days where no amount of planning will get you a hot meal to serve your family, so just do what you can, even if it’s going by the grocery store and grabbing a rotisserie chicken, a bottle of Italian dressing, and head of lettuce. A lot of people think of dinner as needing to be this big ordeal with multiple dishes, and I’m just not a big believer in that. I had an amazing childhood, but I think this book-my entire career actually-was born out of my desire for that family dynamic and to have those family suppers.ĭo you have any advice for folks wanting to make family suppers a nightly ritual in their own homes?
But in my every day life growing up with my immediate family, there weren’t a lot of family suppers unless it was an occasion or a Sunday. When I was younger, spending time with my grandmother while my parents were both working, I have very fond memories of cooking all day for the meal at night. I grew up in the 80s when every parent was working and we rarely sat down for a family dinner during the week. Were family suppers a regular occurrence in your home growing up? It’s simple, delicious, flavorful meals that work for everything from busy weeknights to fabulous dinner parties. It’s an opportunity to reconnect after all of our crazy days, and what you see in Hot Little Suppers is how I cook at home. No matter how bad or good the day has been, it’s where we celebrate and commiserate and have daily check-ins with each other. Gathering around the table for a family meal is a grounding space for me. Hot Little Suppers is an authentic representation of my life and that is one being a mother first, an entrepreneur second, and having a desire to sit down at the family table with our daughters. Plus, get a taste of the scrumptious recipes in Hot Little Suppers below with a weeknight-friendly skillet supper: Carrie’s Tomato Rice Bake with Smoked Sausage. We sat down with the master biscuit baker to learn about her just-released book and why nightly family meals are held close to her heart.
She published her first cookbook Callie’s Biscuits and Southern Traditions in 2013, and in 2021, Carrie became the star of a culinary docuseries titled How She Rolls on PBS. As a wife and mother of three, the owner of a thriving biscuit business, and an all-around entrepreneur, her days are hard to predict, but one thing is for certain: at suppertime, you’ll find her gathered around the table with her family.Ĭarrie founded Callie’s Charleston Biscuits in 2005, and now, her tender, buttery biscuits are sold frozen in stores across the country and served freshly baked at four locations of Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit in Charleston, Atlanta, and Charlotte. Charleston’s biscuit queen Carrie Morey is no stranger to busy weeknights.
