As I’m writing this, it’s October and prime shrimp and crab season down here on the Gulf. Seafood au Gratin is rich, creamy, and the perfect cool weather showcase for all that shrimp and crab. Seafood au gratin has always been a specialty on the Gulf Coast. ...
I love Asian-American takeout food. But you know what I love even more? Learning to make Asian-American takeout at home. It’s always tastier, more healthful, and less expensive than traditional takeout. Often, it’s even faster. This easy and delicious Spicy...
We all know I love soup. This Tomato Tortellini Soup is easily one of my favorites. It's a family favorite, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand so I can throw it together in a flash. There’s zero prep work involved. Canned tomatoes, a few common...
Who doesn’t love chicken enchiladas? And these delicious chicken enchiladas are so easy to make! They were popular at the catering shop. They’re lively, but not spicy hot, and we used to tell people they were kid- and grandmother-friendly. You can always put a...
This is the potato recipe I didn’t know I needed. A while back I read a foodie article explaining how to make tater tots a whole lot better. Their answer was to ignore the directions on the bag, and cook them for longer at a higher temperature. I was assured this...
This isn’t my recipe. Jenni Jones taught it to me, but she says she didn’t make it up, either. Y’all know Jenni. She ran the front of the catering shop and was always super nice, genuinely happy to see you, and incredibly helpful. She always knew who you were, whether...

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...
