Hi, friend! Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I am Mrs. Katie and I want to personally welcome you to Heritage Ways.

I am the wife of the wonderful Mr. Patient. We have six children and are grandparents, as well.

Heritage Ways was born from my passion of homemaking and homekeeping. I love to show hospitality using the skills I have mastered over 50 years. Through my cookbooks, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, website and in-person, I teach basic and advanced cooking and baking skills, as well as, preserving food through dehydrating, canning, and fermenting.

Here at Heritage Ways, you can find plenty of recipes, videos, blog posts, and tips to help you in your own homemaking journey. I hope you’ll make yourself at home, visit our General Store and all that Heritage Ways has to offer.

Are you just getting started on the homemaking journey?

Do you wish you had a Granny, Auntie or Mama to help guide you along the way, to answer questions, to assure you?

I’d love to help you out. I have over 58 years’ experience in life and started cooking, baking and pickling by my Mama’s side when I was five years old. That’s over half a century of homemaking knowledge that I can share with you!

Being a mama to six and now a GrandMarmee, I have enjoyed the homemaking life in my own home with Mr. Patient for over 34 years. I have cooked over 30,000 homemade meals in the last 37 years and many of those had to be as frugal as could be.

I have now published three cookbooks, a homemaker’s in-home newspaper and almost 1,000 videos to teach and inspire homemakers.

How may I encourage, teach and help you??

I’d love to help you get supper on the table with family favorite recipes by sending you an entire chapter of my most popular cookbook. If you’d like to share your birthdate, I’ll send you a gift to honor your special day. Always remember to count your blessings because YOU are loved. ~~ Mrs. Katie

Cooking is my #1 Homemaking Passion. Can you tell?

I invite you to make yourself at home and please use the menu bar to navigate through my many webpages, especially the recipes!

Do you appreciate tried-and-true family-favorite recipes like I do? I am a cook, born and bred in the American South, who thinks a bowl of well-seasoned pinto beans and crispy cornbread sticks with butter is a feast. Have you ever tried Corn Light Bread? It is the kissin’ cousin to Southern Corn Bread. And, I do mean kissin’ because it has quite a bit of sugar. Here’s the recipe if you are curious.
