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,...
Fresh cheese tortellini is the unsung hero of the cold case in your grocery store. It cooks super fast, goes with everything, and is excellent in soups, salads, and a huge variety of pasta dishes. Plus, it’s hearty enough that you know you’ve eaten. I always try to...
Homemade Guacamole is a thousand times better than the store-bought kind. And it’s easy. And fast. And super good for you! Fair warning: My Homemade Guacamole is mainly unadulterated avocado, lightly seasoned, doused with lime juice, and left a little chunky....
A lot of you probably remember the recipe for Monterey Chicken I posted a while back. It was super popular because it was so easy and so delicious. I also make another chicken dish following the same general method, but with traditional Italian flavors: Bruschetta...
**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...
Call it Low Country Boil, Frogmore Stew, or whatever else you want, we all know it and enjoy it. And no wonder; with corn, potatoes, sausage, and shrimp it’s pretty hard to go wrong. I love the idea of tossing everything in a 20 gallon stockpot outside and ending up...
These Cheese Enchiladas were our very best seller at the shop, month in and month out. Prep Cook Extraordinaire Todd would come in in the morning, assess the Cheese Enchilada situation in the coolers out front, and get to work. I don’t know exactly how many Cheese...
It’s so easy to grab a jar of salsa at the store. I used to do it all the time. That is, until the day I came home from the grocery store without it. By the time I realized my error I had enchiladas in the oven, rice on the stove, and I was setting the table for...
Black Bean Salsa is one of those recipes we make all the time at my house. I could live on it--and often do--especially in the summer. Black Bean Salsa uses mostly pantry ingredients, and the hardest part is opening the cans. I usually have fresh limes around, but in...
Mediterranean Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta is based on a classic Greek dish, Shrimp Saganaki. In Greece it’s predominantly served as an appetizer, often as part of a mezze (i.e., appetizer) platter. The word “saganaki” refers to the two handled-pan typically used to...
Everybody I know loves a tomato pie. It’s summertime right now and no one will shut up about it. Tomato pie this, tomato pie that, etc, etc, and then they look at me, and I’m all like . . . What??? I don’t make that kind of tomato pie. Those of you who have been...
Just because a dish has been around for a couple of hundred years, doesn’t mean I can’t fiddle with it, right? The modern version of what we call Eggplant Parmesan appeared in the Italian aristocrat/gourmand Ippolito Cavalcanti's cookbook, Cucina Teorico-Pratica,...
