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,...
Marinated Steak Salad is one of my favorite things to eat with my fingers, straight out of the refrigerator, standing in the kitchen, sometimes with the refrigerator door open. (Can somebody please get my Dad some smelling salts? After all, we don’t own the power...
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 Lent...
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....
I’m sure we all know the easy way to cook a pile of raw shrimp. First you fill a big pot with water, salt, and crab boil and throw in a cut up lemon or two. Bring that to a boil and add a whole bunch of shrimp. Put a big colander in the sink. Watch the shrimp like a...
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,...

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...
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...
Thanksgiving is upon us! And as exciting as that may be, I know some of you out there are bracing yourselves to deal with the leftovers. One option is to just serve the same thing over and over until no one will eat it anymore or it needs throwing out, whichever comes...
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 has been cooking Beef Stroganoff while I was gone. No doubt you will, too....
