Traditional does not mean stuffy in the home of Southern Living test kitchen pro Ivy Odom. This Georgia-bred millennial can fish, throw a mean SEC tailgate, and even knows her way around a pigsty. In each episode, Ivy shares stories, customs, and recipes from growing up in the Deep South but always adds her own modern spin.

From hot takes on the South's most intriguing real estate listings to hunting for treasures at estate sales and touring the region's most spectacular homes, Southern Living style editor Betsy Cribb is up for it all. Home-obsessed Betsy keeps it real whether she's doling out opinions on Tyler Perry's Atlanta mansion or exploring Southern estates.

In 1966, Southern Living was created to highlight the beauty and culture of the growing South.

With characteristic Southern hospitality, Southern Living is committed to sharing the region we love with our readers, no matter where they may live.
