My friend Kim gave me the bones of this recipe at least 15 years ago, and I still have it in my recipe box in her handwriting. I elaborated on the recipe a bit, and rearranged it to make it more user-friendly, but the essence is the same: Italian-seasoned meat,...
I recently had a reader request comfort food recipes. I thought all of my recipes were comforting, but what do I know? So I asked what sort of thing he had in mind. The answer was meatloaf and mac and cheese. Fine. Meatloaf today, Macaroni and Cheese next week....
Marinated Steak Salad is one of my favorite things to eat with my fingers, straight out of the refrigerator, standing in the kitchen, sometimes with the refrigerator door open. (Can somebody please get my Dad some smelling salts? After all, we don’t own the power...
Every once in a while, I head over to my all-time favorite pizza place--The Ravenite Pizzeria, though we usually just call it Ravenite--and I don’t order a pizza. Instead I get an order of meatballs and a Greek salad. It makes a great dinner! The hand-rolled Italian...
I love Beef Stroganoff. I also love dinners I can throw in the crockpot while I go off and do something else. And, I really love coming home in the fall to a house that smells like somebody else has been cooking Beef Stroganoff. No doubt you will, too. Beef Stroganoff...
***HALLOWEEN EDITION*** Chili for a Crowd is an easy but delicious classic ground beef and bean chili. It’s pleasantly lively but not too spicy, so it works well for all ages. Chili for a Crowd regularly accompanies important football games and Christmas parade...
Y’all know how we are about TexMex food around here. We LOVE it. We love it so much that we keep lots of TexMex ingredients around at all times. We love it so much that we need lots of easy recipes to use all that stuff up. We love it so much that at my house TexMex...
Flank steak isn’t something I remember having growing up. I rarely see it in restaurants, though I suspect my local Mexican place uses it for my favorite dish there: Tacos al Carbon. I’ve not cooked with flank steak more than a couple of times; I have a phobia about...
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the beloved British dessert, Eton Mess. It’s a gorgeous jumble of macerated strawberries or raspberries, whipped cream, and meringue. I have a friend who had a restaurant in Tuscaloosa once upon a time, and when they came up with a brownie...
I’m still fielding recipe requests, and this recipe has not only been requested, it was the source of much amusement in the catering shop. Meatloaf Cottage Pie is very, very, tasty, please don’t get me wrong. I will happily eat it any day of the week and lots of our...
Not all Creole food is spicy hot, but you can count on it to be well-seasoned and full of flavor, and this insanely easy pot roast is no exception. Laced with Italian seasoning, marjoram, and a hint of ground cloves, I promise you’ll wonder where this pot roast has...
Asian food wasn’t something we had in my house growing up, but I was enthralled with a Chinese restaurant over the bay in Mobile. It was across from the mall--which didn’t hurt a bit--and I thought it was beautiful. To tell the truth, it was actually a little gaudy...
