Cornbread and Buttermilk, a Southern Puppy story.
“Just Two Crazy Kids and a Puppy”.
The Cornbread and Buttermilk: Southern Dogs Manifesto
“Food, Family & the Faithful Dog”
“Here in the South, the kitchen may be the heart of the home,
but the dog lies faithfully beside the hearth.
We believe:
- A Southern dog is more than a pet—they’re kin.
- Dogs are woven into our stories, fields, porches, and family traditions.
- Training a puppy is a sacred rite of patience and love.
- A dog is a bridge between generations—Granddaddy’s bird dog, Mama’s porch guardian, our children’s playmate.
- The South teaches us to live slow, savor moments, return to the land—and a dog teaches us the same.
- Kitchens, gardens, and hunting fields share one truth: life tastes sweeter when shared with a good dog.
- We honor the dogs who came before, celebrate the pups just starting out, and cherish the lessons they teach us.
We will laugh, learn, and love alongside this new life in our household.
Here, we lift up:
- Stories of the dogs who shaped our memories.
- Practical wisdom for raising and training pups with gentleness and respect.
- Tales from our region—coon dogs in the hollers, bird dogs in pine country, yard hounds by the clothesline.
- The way dogs bring families together and root us deeper to a place.
Our pledge:
To tell stories that smell of wood smoke, wet leaves, biscuits on Sunday morning—and a puppy asleep under the table.
To teach with humility.
To speak with gratitude.
To welcome every listener to the porch, where puppies tumble in the grass and memories live on.
This new chapter is for our puppy—Truffles, and for all Southern family dogs, past and future.”

Cornbread and Buttermilk, a Southern Puppy story.
A Spoonful of Tradition, A Dash of Longevity: Southern Blue Zone Secrets
The past lingers in the South like the scent of something slow-simmering on the stove—rich, deep, impossible to ignore. History doesn’t just live in books here; it rides the wind through the Spanish moss, it hums in the cicadas’ song, it turns up unexpected, folded into an old recipe or tucked inside a letter from long ago.
Buttermilk’s been savoring the latest mailing from History By Mail, a collection of stories and artifacts that bring the past right to your fingertips. This time, it’s about Lady Bird Johnson—the woman who planted beauty along America’s highways and stood steady as a live oak beside LBJ. A first lady who understood that what we nurture, we become—whether it’s wildflowers along the roadside or the food on our plates.
That notion runs deep in our Blue Zone journey—preserving the best of our traditions, dusting off the heirloom recipes, and stirring in just enough wisdom to carry us forward. Today, we’re serving up another dish steeped in Southern history, brimming with the kind of goodness that’s fed generations and might just help you live a little longer.
So pull up a chair, get comfortable—because here at Cornbread & Buttermilk, we’re dishing out more than food. We’re serving up stories, one spoonful of tradition at a time.
