Chocolate Bacon Bark

Chocolate Bacon Bark

I only have a split second, I am soooooo busy with Holiday Everything, as are you, I’d guess. But was I going to leave y’all in a lurch with no sure-fire, fool-proof, last-minute, holiday goodie recipe? Heck, no! Chocolate Bacon Bark will either sound like what They...

Smoked Sausage Burnt Ends

Smoked Sausage Burnt Ends

If there is a Nobel Prize for bite-sized bits of pork you can eat off a toothpick, I am going to win it. This recipe was a mere experiment three weeks ago, and that very afternoon I told my girls to get ready, because I was about to be elected Queen of the World. Is...

Boiled Peanuts

Boiled Peanuts

I adore boiled peanuts. They’re salty, spicy, delicious, and a bit of a litmus test. You say you don't like them? Then you must not be from around here. I can accept that boiled peanuts aren't a universal favorite, I guess, but why are some people so dismissive of...

Really Good Pimento Cheese

Really Good Pimento Cheese

Unlike foie gras, veal tartare, and the still-beating hearts of cobras, as delicacies go, there is nothing controversial about pimento cheese. The only question at all is whether it’s good or bad. Bad pimento cheese is, of course, an abomination, but good pimento...

Watermelon Salsa

Watermelon Salsa

The other day I heard someone say that they don’t like watermelon. Now I can’t for the life of me remember who it was--maybe I’ve blotted them from my memory altogether? I mean, who ever heard of such a thing? I adore watermelon, I always have, and I assume you do,...

Party Shrimp and a Fantastic Shrimp Loaf

Party Shrimp and a Fantastic Shrimp Loaf

Looking around, you might think it’s impossible to have a party on the Gulf Coast without some sort of cocktail shrimp. And, heck, maybe it is. All I know is that I serve some sort of toothpick-able shrimp, with or without a dipping sauce, at parties all the time. And...

The Best Ricotta Dip, Plus All-Purpose Ricotta Filling

The Best Ricotta Dip, Plus All-Purpose Ricotta Filling

Oooooh! Ooooooh! Have I ever got a dandy recipe for you! But first, let me explain: A while back I ran across a recipe I very much wanted to try. It was a whipped ricotta dip with rosemary for bread and vegetables. So quick and easy, I just knew it would be right up...

Overnight Pulled Pork, plus Maggie’s Favorite BBQ Sauce

Overnight Pulled Pork, plus Maggie’s Favorite BBQ Sauce

As of May 17, 2021, approximately 1,304,684 U.S. service men and women have died defending freedom since 1775. That number is approximate (at least in part) because we only have round-number estimates for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. This Memorial Day...

Bacon-Wrapped Drumsticks

Bacon-Wrapped Drumsticks

You’re welcome! I’m about to tell you a little about these marvelous chicken legs, including why should you make them today, and why you should save the recipe forever, and why you ought to make them all the time going forward. I mean, obviously, of course,...

Chilled Asparagus with Curry Dip

Chilled Asparagus with Curry Dip

I know y’all are all starting to think about what to serve for Easter dinner. After a year of Covid-19 seriously cramping our holiday style, I am ready for a big Easter feast. And I’m willing to bet that we’ll see a fair amount of Easter/Spring/Renewal celebrating...

Drip Beef, Plus a Quick and Easy Ragù

Drip Beef, Plus a Quick and Easy Ragù

Drip beef, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love the way I can fling a measly few ingredients into the slow cooker and then wander off, oblivious. I love the way you cook yourself--with absolutely no help from me--for hours and hours on end. I love the way...
