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, and marinara, why wouldn’t we? When I Googled Stuffed Italian Sausages in preparation for writing...
Move over, plain sour cream. You've got some competition! Cool and creamy TexMex Ranch Dressing is the salad dressing you didn't know you needed. TexMex Ranch Dressing 1 cup sour cream½ cup full-fat buttermilk2 t. parsley flakes1 t. each dried dill and dried chives½...
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...
As long as we’re cooking quick and easy summer food, you need to know about delicious Baked Shrimp Scampi. (You’ll note that this is also a quick and easy blog post.) This recipe is based on the typical North American version of Shrimp Scampi, specifically the one...
I haven’t made Sweet Potato Hummus in a while, and I made it last weekend for a party. It’s one of those things I forget about, and then when I do make it I think, “Why am I not making this all the time?!?” There’s nothing authentic about it, and I don’t care. ...
I know y’all like detailed history lessons and such, but I’m busy this week and you’re just going to have to make do with the condensed version. Here it is: bloody marys have been around since the 1920s; they were probably invented by Fernand Petiot at Harry’s Bar in...
