Cherie Martin & Cousin Clara Mae | Heart of the Home offers recipes, tips and quick and easy ways to help you entertain guests or feed your family and make it fun. Each year our family reunion proves to be lots of fun and laughter and more good cooking than you can shake a stick at. One of our “newcomers” to the family asked after the last reunion "how often do you do this?" We answered once a year. He was sad. He didn’t want to wait that long to have cousin Marcelle's pound cake or cousin Voncille’s chicken and dressing.
You know the saying……you can never trust a skinny cook. Well you can sure trust our family of great cooks.
If you watch Heart of the Home often you will quickly learn great aunt Tempie made a lasting impression on me. She used BUTTER in everything and so do I. She’d tickle you to death……… she’d taste it and then throw the butter to it. Then she’d smile and say that’s about right!!!! I hope you’ll agree the recipes we will share with you are "just about right". Good and easy and something everyone will love.
Remember a recipe is a great way to start a new friendship. Recipes and smiles are meant to share.

Gilreath Family Reunion - Dawson County Georgia - Oct. 13, 2007
photos above in slideshow
Good cooking….you had better believe it……..this group of women could make your mouth water with the best of the best. Fried chicken, Marcelle's pound cake and the absolute best thing you ever put in your mouth Aunt Lela's sweet potatoes. To die for. So good it will make you want to go back for seconds and maybe thirds.
The family began with Green and Martha Gilreath and their seven boys. Only one of the BOYS is still with us and he was not able to come to the reunion. Many family members drove long distances and it was so good to get together.
Good food, good times and a great way to share recipes. If you haven't had a family reunion I suggest you do. Many of our family members are getting up in years and I know it means a great deal to them for us to be together.
Aunt Lela and her large family are shown including Marcelle, her children and Lloyd and his children and grandchildren.
We are very fortunate to have Aunt Lou and Marcelle still with us. Aunt Lou suffered a stroke recently and Marcelle was involved in a terrible auto accident. Thank God for them both and for them still being here with us.
Aunt Edrice and Aunt Lela are our oldest family members. What wonderful women. We are so fortunate to have them.
Heart of the Home began as a way for us to share our cookbook with you and to make folks aware of Pickens County Habitat for Humanity. We appreciate your purchasing the cookbook and helping to build homes for folks who otherwise could not know the pleasure of home ownership.
We have met so many nice folks who tune in weekly and are now very happy to be meeting more of you through cable and satellite television. Isn't technology GREAT!!!!
It is wonderful to have folks all over the world tuning in to Dish Network, Direct TV, Charter and Comcast Cable.
Welcome to Harris Farm and Harris Acres. I encourage you to tune in weekly and to support the great gospel musicians who visit with us and who's music we feature.
Please remember the folks who make Heart of the Home possible. Mayfield Milk, Lawson Chevrolet, Crescent Bank and Trust, Estes Real Estate, Annie's Restaurant and KnowPickens.com.
Without their support we could not welcome you into our home and share the recipes and music I love with you.
Heart of the Home has become a great way to make folks aware of the need for decent, affordable housing for those less fortunate than ourselves. Many years ago my mother taught me something I never forgot.
There but for the Grace of God, go I.
Remember folks, tune in weekly and send me your recipes. I hope that Heart of the Home will be a blessing to you.
The Inspirations sing a song that talks about that very thing. Each day of your life try to be a blessing to someone. I promise you when the day is done you will feel so much better.
Remember......A day in the country is worth a month in town!!!!
Stop by Harris Farm every week . We look forward to seeing you.
