Sausage, Cheddar, and Apple Bread Pudding

Sausage, Cheddar, and Apple Bread Pudding

Need an easy, make-ahead, cool-weather brunch dish?  Take a look at Sausage, Cheddar, and Apple Bread Pudding.  It’s delicious, it’s simple, and you can make it ahead--and even freeze it--if you want to.  And while it’s tailor-made for a chilly-day brunch, it can...

Jalapeño Popper Grits

Jalapeño Popper Grits

Cheesy and delicious, Jalapeño Popper Grits have all the flavors you love in jalapeño poppers.  In case you’ve been living under a rock, if you order jalapeño poppers in a restaurant you’ll get jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon bits, then rolled...

The Best Easy Blueberry Muffins

The Best Easy Blueberry Muffins

This is by far my favorite blueberry muffin recipe.  It’s so easy, and I love the flavor and the texture.  I’m not a fan of muffins that are overly sweet, or cakey, or dry, and these are none of those things.  And you’re going to laugh when I tell you the secret...

Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

When I told my friend Jamie I was going to test out a pimento cheese version of sausage balls, here’s what she said:  “Holy s%$#!  OMG!  Yes, please!” (We’re pretty enthusiastic about sausage balls around here.)   This recipe is exactly what it sounds like.  I...

Fresh Tomato Tart

Fresh Tomato Tart

I was at my parents’ house recently, and my mom was making me take home tomatoes from their garden.  (That makes it sound like a bad thing--it’s not.)  I guess we were talking about what to do with tomatoes when she announced that a gentleman they know has the best...

Sweet Potato Muffins

Sweet Potato Muffins

I love making these muffins whenever I have leftover sweet potatoes of any kind. Virtually any sort of sweet potatoes will work. I’ve used spicy mashed sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, even Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole. If the sweet potatoes you’re using...

Tomato and Artichoke Galette

Tomato and Artichoke Galette

Everybody I know loves a tomato pie. It’s summertime right now and no one will shut up about it. Tomato pie this, tomato pie that, etc, etc, and then they look at me, and I’m all like . . . What???   I don’t make that kind of tomato pie. Those of you who have...

Strawberry Cream Cheese Baked French Toast

Strawberry Cream Cheese Baked French Toast

I know you’re planning your holiday menus by now, and that almost certainly means at least one breakfast/brunch if not more. As many of you know, the traditional Christmas brunch at my house is Grillades and Grits, which I continue to heartily recommend. But what if...

Apple Cranberry Salad

Apple Cranberry Salad

Hearty fall salads don’t get enough attention around here. I really enjoy getting to cook heavier, richer dishes after the summer heat breaks, but I don’t like to eat that way exclusively. Chilies, stews, braises, long-cooked cool weather vegetables--I love them, but...

Shrimp and Grits Casserole

Shrimp and Grits Casserole

Hello, happy boys and girls! I am still delighted to be back to blogging! Recently I asked readers to let me know if there were any specific recipes they wanted to see here on the site. Several former shop customers got back to me immediately. (Thank you, all! I will...

Birthday Brunch Potatoes

Birthday Brunch Potatoes

It’s January, and even though I don’t make New Year’s resolutions I’ve been eating lighter overall. A boiled egg is breakfast most days, cottage cheese or salad is fine for lunch, fruit or a handful of pecans makes an easy snack. We’ve even had light dinners most...

Grillades and Grits

Grillades and Grits

Just in case you’re still wondering what to cook for Christmas brunch, here’s a suggestion: Grillades and grits. (That’s GREE-yahds and gritz, in case you needed to know.) This has been the standard Christmas brunch main dish at my house for years now, and for good...

I love artichokes.  I love stuffed artichokes.  I do NOT love making stuffed artichokes.  So I fixed it.

It's springtime!!! And spring requires easier, lighter, and quicker foods.  Curried Chicken Salad fits the bill beautifully.  This chicken salad uses mild English-style curry powder and isn't the least bit spicy.  It's kid- and grandmother-approved!

It's going to be really cold, and I'm actively dreading it.  I think I'll just stay inside and cook.
