Hush puppies are one of my favorite things to eat. They’re the best thing about going to a fish camp. I have a hard time not filling up on them before my meal comes.

Hush puppies are so easy and inexpensive to make. Here is my favorite recipe for plain hush puppies and I also love these Squash Puppies made with summer squash.

Okra Hush Puppies were made for summer time!
