They don’t call her “Delicious Miss Brown” for nothing. Food Network star and chef Kardea Brown knows how to whip up delicious food, while honoring the Gullah/Geechee heritage she proudly grew up with in Charleston, SC. And while the chef and his family whip up all kinds of mouth-watering meals year-round (she recently gave us some fantastic Lowcountry-inspired twists on Thanksgiving and Christmas favorites), they have a serious menu in mind. for Easter.
To celebrate the resurrection of Jesus (it’s not about bunnies, y’all) through food, the TV personality shared her must-have “After Church” dishes to bring to your dining table on Sundays. It includes savory favorites, like Southern Collard Greens, as well as sweets like Charleston Chewy Brownies and coastal classics like Grilled Shrimp Macaroni Salad. Do one thing or go for enthusiasm and do them all. Either way, you can’t lose with Miss Brown’s delicious deals.

Grandma’s Mac and Cheese
You haven’t lived until you’ve tried Chef Kardea’s macaroni and cheese recipe, inherited from her grandmother and a staple at gatherings for over 60 years. The secret to this winning dish is to use five different creams and cheeses.
