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...
Antipasto. The literal translation from Italian is “before the meal.” In Italy antipasto can be any number of things served at the table before the main dishes: cheeses, meats, olives, artichokes, marinated vegetables, fried or grilled vegetables, bruschetta,...
We will soon find ourselves in the height of Mardi Gras season here in coastal Alabama. At my house that means most parades are two blocks away. It also means lots of hungry, thirsty, parade- and ball-going friends in the house, both before and after a parade. At...
L.A. (Lower Alabama) Caviar is a regional treat I’ve probably made a thousand times. It’s simple to toss together. It’s inexpensive to make. You probably have everything you need to make it in your kitchen right now. And all those are good things because L.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,...

One benefit of closing the shop and coming back to the blog is that I have a really good idea of what sorts of things y’all are wanting for dinner. I’ll be sharing a number of LCK favorites in the coming weeks. As always the focus will be on affordable...

Spicy Sausage in Tomato Basil Cream has been a house favorite here for many years. Lots of our friends are familiar with it because I’ve served it to dinner guests numerous times. It’s easy to make, it doesn’t take long, and calls for ingredients I nearly always have...
All the home cooking going on this year seems to have sparked a renewed interest in an old Southern staple, the salmon croquette. I’ve seen them recently on cooking shows, I’ve participated in more than one Facebook discussion about them, and even Roy Blount, Jr. was...
