Crab Mornay

Crab Mornay

I’ve used this Crab Mornay recipe for years.  It’s one of those utterly delicious Gulf Coast favorites we’re all delighted to see at holiday parties, and thrilled to have any other time. I'm not sure where the recipe came from originally.  I’ve seen it on upscale...

Make-Ahead Marinated Shrimp

Make-Ahead Marinated Shrimp

When I planned this post, I tried to remember when I first made this recipe.  It was one of the first keeper party recipes I found.  Working backwards, my best guess is a party when the Princess OG was in nursery school.  Let’s just say that’s been a minute.   What I...

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...

Stuffed Acorn Squash

Stuffed Acorn Squash

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...

Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball

Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball

I was reading an article recently about foods that have gone out of fashion.  Savory Jell-O salads, liver and onions, tv dinners, spray cheese, olive loaf--I can happily wave goodbye to all of these.  But some of the things on the list were just silly.   Who are...

Ham and Swiss Party Sandwiches

Ham and Swiss Party Sandwiches

Dorothy Parker famously observed, “Eternity is a ham and two people.” As much as I admire Dorothy Parker and her wit, that’s nonsense. I--and I know I’m not the only one--love having ham leftovers, and they’re certainly not a burden as long as you plan ahead just a...

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....

Marinated Cheese

Marinated Cheese

Of course you’ll need to take an easy, affordable, and festive hors d'oeuvre someplace this holiday season. I’ve got a really, really good one for you. I’ll be quick. I know you’re busy, and so am I. I first stumbled upon this Marinated Cheese recipe in a magazine,...

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy with Cornbread Dressing

Thanksgiving Turkey and Gravy with Cornbread Dressing

A friend asked me a few weeks back if I would be putting any Thanksgiving recipes on the LCK blog in time for her to make them this year. My internal knee-jerk reaction encompassed every single reason that I couldn’t, leading with, “I have to do those recipes a couple...

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...

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...

Potatoes au Gratin

Potatoes au Gratin

I assume you need a stupendously good holiday potato recipe? Well, today is your lucky day. This started out as an Emeril Lagasse recipe as I recall, I fiddled with it some, and now I’ve been making it forever. But let me be perfectly clear: this isn’t some...
