Happy Friday and a good morning to all of you!! We are back at it in the Sweet Mamas kitchen; this business will definitely keep you on your toes. Before we get to the food and we get your tummy`s rumbling and grumbling, let`s talk about how lovely this week's weather has been!! After the rains, it has been HOT and HUMID, but the early mornings and evenings after the sun has gone down have been LOVELY. We are nowhere near Fall and cool weather, but I have to say that this slight break in the heat has, in fact, felt like early Fall to me and that has had me all in my Ole Miss Rebel football feels. The slightest breeze with a hint of cool, the rustling and falling leaves, the days filled with random rain showers: it's Faux Fall, meant to tease our hearts and trick our minds. After the Watermelon Carnival, it will in fact be time to begin the countdown to the beauty that is College football, in particular, Ole Miss College football. Are y`all with me on this?!?! Hotty Toddy Baby!!

We promised y`all that we would have some extra-special deliciousness to fill your bellies today and we plan to deliver on that promise. The Friday Plate Lunch will be Sweet Mamas Southern Funk Ribs, dry-rubbed and cooked low and slow until falling off the bone tender. Sauced with our from scratch Memphis-Style Sugar Cane Cola BBQ Sauce. We serve them sloppy y`all, lots of sauce! The sides will be FRESH Collard Greens, Southern-Style Green Beans and Butter Beans, Black-Eyed Peas, Sweet Mamas candied yams, Country fried Skillet Cabbage. All of sweet Mamas Plate lunches are served with our Southern Buttermilk cornbread muffin and house-whipped Honey butter. Nothing sets this plate off like an ice filled glass of our Cherry Bomb Country Kool-Aid or our Side-Porch lemonade: Watermelon Peach.

Let`s eat some saucy and sassy RIBS y`all!! We invite you to come and sit at our table. Come HUNGRY and leave FULL, FED and HAPPY!! Sweet Mamas appreciates your business.

Good morning, Water Valley!!! Y`all the high yesterday was 81 degrees, in Mississippi in JULY. What an absolute blessing for us, the animals and the Air conditioners of the South. Amen and Hallelujah!! Alrighty guys, we are all getting in Watermelon Carnival mode, 17 days until Water Valleys favorite event!! It`s time to show up and show out, break out the Watermelon swag and let`s do this thang!! We are showing off our new watermelon pillows made by my friend Libby Kuchta, now y`all know Libby, but did you know that Libby makes these beautiful pillows?!?! We love being able to decorate the restaurant with items made by our friends and neighbors; thank you Libby and y`all give her a call and get some beautiful pillows for home or business!! Sidenote, Watermelon themes are not the only ones she sews; football season is right around the corner, and you KNOW Libby has that Ole Miss swag covered!

The plate for Wednesday will be Taco Salad Spaghetti -long noodles with Bodega spiced ground beef in a ooey, gooey cheesy Rotel sauce and baked with melty cheddar. Finished with Lettuce shred, diced tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream. It`s good y`all and fun for a random Wednesday! The sides will be Fresh collard greens, Country fried skillet cabbage, Sweet Mamas Candied Yams, Country-style green beans, butter beans and black-eyed peas. All of Sweet Mamas plate lunches are served with our Southern Buttermilk cornbread muffin and house-whipped honey butter.

Sweet Mamas has a TREAT for you today with our dessert special: get excited. For Wednesday we have Miss Vetra`s Old -Fashioned Caramel Cake!! Baby, when I tell you that this TRIPLE layer butter cake is FIRE, I mean FIRE!! I don't mind telling y`all that out of all Miss Vetra`s cake recipes, this one has been intimidating for me personally. Caramel Cake is a tricky cake to make; the frosting has a lot of steps, and it takes a little care and finesse. This cake is MOIST to the core, loaded with butter and vanilla and this Old-Fashioned Caramel icing is smooth as silk. There is a lot of BAD caramel cake in the world, but this is not one of them! Y`all come and get you a slice.

The side-porch Lemonade is Watermelon Peach!! The Country Kool-Aid is Cherry Bomb - Dr, Boo Thangs favorite!!

Alright Vallians, let`s do this Wednesday thing and do it right!! We invite you to come and sit at our table. Come HUNGRY and leave FULL, FED and HAPPY!! Sweet Mamas appreciates your business.

Happy Fourth of July Eve Vallians!! It`s going to be another HOT one today and tomorrow; when I opened the door this morning, I was greeted by our dear friend Humidity and old girl just slapped me in my face and again I say, " Why lord Why"?!?! Y`all, have fun, be careful, and stay hydrated.

We are almost through this first major heatwave of the summer. Next week's conditions are looking more suitable for all living things. Praise be!! This week has been rough on the old-lady, I aint gonna lie. I have been cooking for a lifetime, at this point, but it definitely does not get easier; you just know what to expect and how to deal with the heat. I get asked a lot, why at 55 years old am I still cooking in my kitchen? And while I will say, it is unusual in my line of work to still be actively cooking on my line and my kitchen, there are still a few of us left. The answers are easy for me: first and foremost, I do it because cooking is what I love to do; it is my passion and the one thing in life that I have been really good at, that alone keeps me putting the coat on every day. I also do it because I believe that I can deliver the highest quality product for y`all with me standing behind the stove. Sweet Mamas is a labor of love for me; I show up and I do the work because it's my kitchen and I lead my crew by doing the work with them. Everything that rolls out of this kitchen, ultimately carries my name and a standard of what it should be when it gets to the table. I am so proud of the food we put out in the restaurant. It`s not hard to keep going and doing the work when I see the rewards every day. I am also fortunate enough to have a FANTASTIC team; my crew has my back, shows up and they do the hard work daily with me and I am eternally grateful; nothing happens without the Sweet Mamas crew. As y`all know Courtney has been working with me in the kitchen; it`s been a long time since I have had a young cook working beside me who wats to learn, is interested in food and understands why we hold ourselves accountable and to a high standard, daily. She is doing a great job, and I am having fun teaching her techniques, GO COURTNEY!! Maybe one day the old lady will get to step off the line, but for now, we cook!

The Friday Plate Lunch will be Sweet Mamas Southern Funk Ribs, dry-rubbed and cooked low and slow until falling off the bone tender. Sauced with our from scratch Memphis-Style Sugar Cane Cola BBQ Sauce. We serve them sloppy y`all, lots of sauce! The sides will be FRESH Collard Greens, Broccoli Pasta Salad, Southern-Style Green Beans, Butter Beans, Black-Eyed Peas, Sweet Mamas Mustard Potato Salad and Country fried Skillet Cabbage. All of sweet Mamas Plate lunches are served with our Southern Buttermilk cornbread muffin and house-whipped Honey butter. Nothing sets this plate off like an ice filled glass of our Grape country Kool-Aid or our side-porch lemonade: Pineapple cucumber.

Sweet Mamas will be closed Saturday July 4th to allow everyone to celebrate the holiday with their people. Happy Birthday America!! We invite you to come and sit at our table. Come HUNGRY and leave FULL, FED and HAPPY!! Sweet Mamas appreciates your business.
