Need a holiday side that seems fancy, yet is easy to make, and travels well? And pairs beautifully with turkey OR ham? I know you’re planning now, and I’ve got you covered. This is a job for Stuffed Acorn Squash. I’ve served these delicious Stuffed Acorn...
If you’ve ever had Mexican carnitas you already know they’re delicious. The name “carnitas” means “little meats”. Traditionally, carnitas are made by slowly braising a pork shoulder in a highly seasoned broth, then shredding the meat, and frying it in its own fat...
A week or two ago I was supposed to be working. Football was on and it wasn’t going especially well. I was listening to the game, scrolling Facebook, and mostly goofing off, when I saw my friend Staci had posted a photo that looked like this: That's an oldfangled...
Although French Onion Chicken is delicious and has the best sauce/gravy known to man or beast, it isn't very photogenic. Beige and brown foods are notoriously difficult to photograph. But don't let the homeliness fool you. This recipe is swoon-worthy,...
King Ranch Chicken originally appeared in October, 2019. I now make this easier version, and I’ve updated the photos. I am conflicted about the end of summer. I love summertime, but I am just plain tired of being hot. I am also tired of salad. And cantaloupe. I...
Heaven only knows where I first ran into this recipe, but I’m so glad I did. I knew at first glance that we’d love it. And with Italian sausage, mozzarella, marinara, why wouldn’t we? When I Googled Stuffed Italian Sausages in preparation for writing this...

This is one of those quick-prep recipes you toss into the oven, and then don’t have to worry about for a while. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are very forgiving, and if they cook for 10 or 15 minutes longer than directed, it’s really not a big deal. Also, Asian...
It has come to my attention that I don’t post anywhere near enough recipes for sweets. There are reasons for that. First, I’m not really a baker, and what little baking I do is usually bread-type things rather than dessert-type things. Second, I’m not much of a...
I love summer squash, and if you've clicked in here on purpose, I suspect you do, too. I like it sautéed, roasted, breaded and fried. I also REALLY like squash casserole. It's squashy and cheesy with a lovely crunchy cracker crust. I don't make squash casserole...
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...
If Leslie Anne Tarabella isn’t your personal friend, I’m so sorry. But chin up! Leslie Anne writes these terrific collections of stories that help the rest of the universe understand the Deep South. She’s a hoot, and very insightful. Is there a word for that? In any...
