Lemon Artichoke Spread is one of my very favorites and another oft-requested recipe. I’ve been making Lemon Artichoke spread for at least ten years, and all of my party on the porch friends have had it by now. We had a tough time keeping it in the coolers at the shop...
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...
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the beloved British dessert, Eton Mess. It’s a gorgeous jumble of macerated strawberries or raspberries, whipped cream, and meringue. I have a friend who had a restaurant in Tuscaloosa once upon a time, and when they came up with a brownie...
Consider this my mashed potato manifesto: I don’t like gluey mashed potatoes. I want everyone to stop making them that way immediately. If you like gluey mashed potatoes, I won’t invite you to eat at my house. And if you show up anyway, I’ll make you a convert. So...
So Jimmy Buffet has set a course for the beautiful Mother Ocean in the sky where it’s always five o’clock, the tourists aren’t bothering anybody, the margaritas are always made from scratch, and salt shakers are plentiful and perpetually close at hand. James William...
I’ve recommended (and explained) Coconut Rice as an accompaniment to other dishes before, but I wanted y’all to be able to go straight to the recipe when you need it. You’ll only need it once though, it’s so easy to remember. In addition to being delicious, coconut...
**Lazy Chef Edition** So there I was planning this grilled-pork-teriyaki-satay-situation-with-peanut-sauce-and-everything to share with all of you. But I was totally dragging my feet and it wasn’t getting done. Y’all know I’m a charcoal grill girl, and that’s a whole...
Gambino’s is an Italian restaurant down the street, and I’ve eaten there regularly since I was a kid. My kids have eaten there since they were small children, too. My buddy Burton loves the Veal Marsala. Princess Persnickety is a die-hard Chicken Alfredo fan. My...
Call it Low Country Boil, Frogmore Stew, or whatever else you want, we all know it and enjoy it. And no wonder; with corn, potatoes, sausage, and shrimp it’s pretty hard to go wrong. I love the idea of tossing everything in a 20 gallon stockpot outside and ending up...
Have you ever wondered why Caesar Salad is called “Caesar Salad”? I looked it up. It turns out that the original Caesar Salad was invented by an Italian immigrant chef, Caesar Cardini, who had restaurants in San Diego and Tijuana in the 1920s. The story is that, like...
These Cheese Enchiladas were our very best seller at the shop, month in and month out. Prep Cook Extraordinaire Todd would come in in the morning, assess the Cheese Enchilada situation in the coolers out front, and get to work. I don’t know exactly how many Cheese...
It’s so easy to grab a jar of salsa at the store. I used to do it all the time. That is, until the day I came home from the grocery store without it. By the time I realized my error I had enchiladas in the oven, rice on the stove, and I was setting the table for...
