Hi! I’m Barbara.
At Butter & Baggage, I help home cooks bring from-scratch Southern cooking to the table with confidence. I test every recipe in my own kitchen, an average of 3 to 4 times, before it goes on the site, so if you follow the recipe, it’ll turn out. I’m Barbara. I’ve been cooking for 50 years, with Southern roots passed down through my own family. I believe from-scratch cooking should feel approachable, not intimidating, so you can serve food you’re proud of.

Casseroles are the ultimate comfort food that can make any meal feel special!
