Cauliflower au Gratin

Cauliflower au Gratin

I’ve been told that Cauliflower au Gratin is a southern thing. Does anybody know if that’s true? Can somebody from the Midwest or someplace like that weigh in here? Did y’all have Cauliflower au Gratin growing up? (EDIT: An English friend says they have it in England,...

Creole Chicken Fettuccine

Creole Chicken Fettuccine

This is exactly the sort of dinner I like whenever my week and To Do list are nuts. It’s a tried and true recipe, widely accepted and acceptable, and it doesn’t trash the kitchen. It's the holiday season as I write this--y'all know the fun doesn't let up until...

Black Eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup (AKA, New Year’s Soup)

Black Eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup (AKA, New Year’s Soup)

This recipe is going into my upcoming soup cookbook, but y’all need it now. New Year’s Day is just around the corner, and I bet none of us can afford to miss out on either money or luck. Black Eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup is a delightful way to cover your (ahem) bases....

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas with Lime Crema

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas with Lime Crema

I’m a child of the South--Baldwin County, Alabama, to be exact--and as such, I’m a big fan of sweet potatoes. We grow them here. Well, not me personally, but the sweet potato growers grow them. In the fall you’ll see big, happy, beautiful, piles of them in local...

Italian Meatballs

Italian Meatballs

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...

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...

Beef Stroganoff (in the slow cooker!)

Beef Stroganoff (in the slow cooker!)

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...

Tuscan Chicken Tortellini

Tuscan Chicken Tortellini

Fresh cheese tortellini is the unsung hero of the cold case in your grocery store. It cooks super fast, goes with everything, and is excellent in soups, salads, and a huge variety of pasta dishes. Plus, it’s hearty enough that you know you’ve eaten. I always try to...

Chili for a Crowd (plus Indoor Hotdogs)

Chili for a Crowd (plus Indoor Hotdogs)

***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...

Ultimate Nachos Casserole

Ultimate Nachos Casserole

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...

Garlic Butter Flank Steak with Skillet Potatoes

Garlic Butter Flank Steak with Skillet Potatoes

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...

Bruschetta Chicken

Bruschetta Chicken

A lot of you probably remember the recipe for Monterey Chicken I posted a while back. It was super popular because it was so easy and so delicious. I also make another chicken dish following the same general method, but with traditional Italian flavors: Bruschetta...
