Hey There!

Welcome to The Buttered Home. My name is Brooke Burks. Born and raised in sunny South Alabama, I grew up in the kitchen. Some of the best cooks I know, are family and they loved me enough to teach me what they know. My Momma, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and precious Great Aunt took the time to show me and teach me the beauty of cooking.

I believe that food can build a bridge to meaningful relationships with other people. By teaching your kids the art of cooking, you are passing a legacy on for generations. The Buttered Home gives me an opportunity to share with you great recipes, cooking techniques and some of my favorite things. I am excited that you have decided to join me and my family at The Buttered Home where we can share in all of the things that put the Heart in Home.

The Buttered Home is my little corner of the internet. The place where I share all of the things I love. Cooking, recipes, gardening and whatever lights my fancy. I love my home here in South Central Alabama and am proud to be a partner with Alabama Living Magazine as their Food contributor each month.

You can even find recipes from The Buttered Home that have been featured in Meal Plan Monday, a collaborative effort by some of the South’s finest Food Bloggers. SWEET AND SAUCY LIVING, a beautiful magazine for Cookiers, Foodgawker, Yumgoggle, Foodyub and Kitchen Thyme.

We enjoy spreading our love of Southern food anywhere that features home cooked, filled with love cooking. That could even mean just in the kitchen of our readers. If you think we may be a good fit for something you have cooking, CONTACT US, we would love to work with you!
