It happened again. I went to my neighborhood grocery yesterday for milk, coffee, and anything else we might need for the next three days. (It’s Coldmageddon 2026 on the Gulf Coast as I write this.) I had to walk past the meat case on my way to the checkout. And...
These delightfully tangy Apricot Pork Chops are simple enough and quick enough to become your new weeknight favorite. The sauce ingredients are all pantry staples, with the possible exception of apricot preserves. If you don’t have apricot preserves, pick up a jar...
When I was a teenager, my mom made a delicious pork roast that I loved. I only recall her making a few times, and I also remember coming home from school to the tantalizing aroma of that pork roast cooking. I’ve pestered my mother about it for years, but she swears...
A while back I was in a mixed-age group of local cooks and we were talking about food. I know that’s difficult to imagine, but I swear it’s true. Anyway, the subject of party food came up. Every single one of us agreed that our favorite culinary genre was Southern...
Y’all already know that I love Chinese-American food almost as much as I love TexMex, and that’s really saying something. I keep Asian seasoning ingredients in my pantry so I can whip up something even better than Chinese takeout at a moment’s notice. I love that with...
Truth be told, my mom’s Braised Pork Chops are the best I’ve ever had. I’ve had fried pork chops with gravy. I’ve had pork chops stuffed with things like pancetta and sage, or andouille sausage dressing. I’ve even had fancy pork chops in a fancy restaurant that cost...
**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...
If there is a Nobel Prize for bite-sized bits of pork you can eat off a toothpick, I am going to win it. This recipe was a mere experiment three weeks ago, and that very afternoon I told my girls to get ready, because I was about to be elected Queen of the World. Is...
Things are moving right along with my new food-shop-to-be, and my days are insane. There are a million moving parts, and keeping all the plates spinning is crucial. I’m ordering supplies, scheduling painters, plumbers, and electricians, plus organizing, planning,...
As of May 17, 2021, approximately 1,304,684 U.S. service men and women have died defending freedom since 1775. That number is approximate (at least in part) because we only have round-number estimates for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. This Memorial Day...
If you're not familiar with Pickapeppa Sauce, you’re in for a treat. Affectionately referred to as Jamaican ketchup, Pickapeppa is a tangy and mildly spicy concoction--from where else? Jamaica!--that we drizzle on all sorts of things here, from steak to jambalaya....
So I’m still craving light-ish food even though it’s cold outside. I didn’t overeat during the holidays, so I don’t know what the deal is. Is this some bizarre Covid-19 side effect that you can get just by reading the newspaper? Does it have something to do with solar...
