Heather L. Earnhardt - Big food big love: a Southern gal in the Northwest shares stories and recipes for big biscuits and breakfasts, cakes, pies, cookies, suppers, gravies, pickles, and plenty more

To my granddaddy, Marion Joseph Corbett, for making a childhood as magical and full as it should be.

To my grandmother, Evelyn Pegram Perkinson Earnhardt, you shaped me in ways you couldnt possibly have known. Whole worlds could have been tamed with your love.

To my daughter Evelyn Evey Pearl, named after your great-grandmother. I wish you could be here for so many reasons but also to eat all this food and feel all this love. Big Food. Big Love.
