Apricot Pork Chops

Apricot Pork Chops

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...

Lemon and Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon with Vegetables

Lemon and Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon with Vegetables

Good news!  I’ve given up long-winded blog posts for Lent.     Hahahahaha!      I’m kidding, of course.  Lent or not, we all need a goodly number of easy and delicious seafood recipes, and I have a few words to say about that.  Let’s dive right in, shall we?...

Pasta al Limone

Pasta al Limone

For those days when you just can’t even think anymore, the answer to dinner is Pasta al Limone.   Pasta al Limone translates to Lemon-Scented Pasta.  It hails from the Naples/Amalfi Coast area of Italy, where they grow the finest lemons in the world.  It’s...

L.A. Caviar

L.A. Caviar

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....

Make-Ahead Marinated Shrimp

Make-Ahead Marinated Shrimp

When I planned this post, I tried to remember when I first made this recipe.  It was one of the first keeper party recipes I found.  Working backwards, my best guess is a party when the Princess OG was in nursery school.  Let’s just say that’s been a minute.   What I...

Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

When I told my friend Jamie I was going to test out a pimento cheese version of sausage balls, here’s what she said:  “Holy s%$#!  OMG!  Yes, please!” (We’re pretty enthusiastic about sausage balls around here.)   This recipe is exactly what it sounds like.  I...

Weeknight Chicken Carnitas

Weeknight Chicken Carnitas

If you’ve ever had Mexican carnitas you already know they’re delicious. The name “carnitas” means “little meats”.  Traditionally, carnitas are made by slowly braising a pork shoulder in a highly seasoned broth, then shredding the meat, and frying it in its own fat...

Deviled Eggs

Deviled Eggs

I'm  not going to play coy:  I make awesome deviled eggs.  I don’t make the kind with smoked salmon or caviar on top.  I don’t make the kind with butter in the filling.  I don’t make deviled eggs that involve bacon, shrimp, or Sriracha, ever.  I make old-fashioned...

The Lazy Chef’s (Almost) Homemade Pizza

The Lazy Chef’s (Almost) Homemade Pizza

A week or two ago I was supposed to be working.  Football was on and it wasn’t going especially well.  I was listening to the game, scrolling Facebook, and mostly goofing off, when I saw my friend Staci had posted a photo that looked like this:  That's an oldfangled...

French Onion Chicken

French Onion Chicken

Although French Onion Chicken is delicious and has the best sauce/gravy known to man or beast, it isn't very photogenic.  Beige and brown foods are notoriously difficult to photograph.  But don't let the homeliness fool you.  This recipe is swoon-worthy,...

TexMex Ranch Dressing

TexMex Ranch Dressing

Move over, plain sour cream.  You've got some competition!  Cool and creamy TexMex Ranch Dressing is the salad dressing you didn't know you needed. TexMex Ranch Dressing 1 cup sour cream½ cup full-fat buttermilk2 t. parsley flakes1 t. each dried dill and dried chives½...

Cucumber and Carrot Salad with Ginger Dressing

Cucumber and Carrot Salad with Ginger Dressing

Cucumber and Carrot Salad with Ginger Dressing is a staple in our house. It’s one of our go-to salads year-round, and we’re especially fond of having it with all sorts of Asian-American dishes. Princess Persnickety is a sushi fan, and Cucumber and Carrot Salad with...

I posted lovely, springy, Pasta al Limone on the blog a bit back, but I never got around to telling y'all about it.  So here it is now!  It's a good bet when you'd rather play outside on pretty evenings instead of cooking dinner.
