I’ve given out this recipe dozens of times over the years. Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are quite possibly the perfect cookie. They’re our default house cookies, and I can’t even imagine how many hundreds (thousands?) of them my girls have eaten. In...
My sister taught me this recipe for summer produce at least 25 years ago. It’s awfully good and it’s so easy. It reminds me of a very light and fresh vegetable lasagna without the pasta or any of the work. All you need is an eggplant or two, a big tomato or two (or...
Princess Persnickety and I have a new favorite summertime dinner: Lemony Chicken Flatbread. Why do we like it so much? First, it’s refreshing and delicious. Second, it’s ridiculously easy and requires next to no work to prepare. Third, it’s one of those...
I’ll make this quick--after all, lady pea season is short! Some people call them cream peas or zipper peas, but growing up we called them lady peas. Lady peas are the most refined member of the southern field pea family. They’re petite, pale green to nearly white, and...
This is the very best easy coleslaw recipe I know. I’ve had it for a number of years, and I’ve made it countless times. The person who gave it to me made me promise not to tell anyone where I got it, so I won’t. So what’s good about it? It’s delicious. You...
Fresh peach season is so brief that I feel obligated to make the most of it. Toward that end, I offer you Brie with Pepper Jelly Peaches. It’s delicious yet silly easy, and that's my favorite food category ever! Brie with Pepper Jelly Peaches is appropriate for any...
Cheesy and delicious, Jalapeño Popper Grits have all the flavors you love in jalapeño poppers. In case you’ve been living under a rock, if you order jalapeño poppers in a restaurant you’ll get jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon bits, then rolled...
This is by far my favorite blueberry muffin recipe. It’s so easy, and I love the flavor and the texture. I’m not a fan of muffins that are overly sweet, or cakey, or dry, and these are none of those things. And you’re going to laugh when I tell you the secret...
Peaches and blueberries are a match made in heaven. One of my very favorite quick summertime desserts is super simple. It’s nothing more than a sliced ripe peach, a handful of fresh blueberries, a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar, and a splash of ice cold heavy cream. ...
Yum--Chicken Souvlaki. I make it frequently in the summer. If you’re not familiar with it, souvlaki is Greek street food. I first tasted it in college at an international food fair. When I had my own kitchen, I checked a Greek cookbook out of the library and...
Part of growing up on the Gulf Coast means you’re exposed to the wonderful world of Mediterranean food. Many local families have Greek, Italian, or Lebanese grandparents and/or great-grandparents who immigrated to the U.S. Lots of those immigrants opened grocery...
My dad knocked on the back door a few days ago and handed me a bag of seven or eight cucumbers from my parents’ garden. I cut some up for Princess Persnickety to take with lunch, I made a batch of Tzatziki Sauce, and then I threw together a batch of Refrigerator...
