I’ve been working hard on my next cookbook. (WHAT is taking so long?!? I don’t understand it, either.) The new book’s working title is, The Art of Everyday Cooking for One or Two, and part of that equation is super-easy delicious real food recipes with no weird...
Sausage and shrimp in a spicy Alfredo sauce one-pot pasta? Yes, please! This is one of those pasta recipes y’all really like. It requires only one pot, and no boiling of pasta whatsoever. It’s easy and delicious. Just make sure you serve Voodoo Pasta with...
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...
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...
Heaven only knows where I first ran into this recipe, but I’m so glad I did. I knew at first glance that we’d love it. And with Italian sausage, mozzarella, and marinara, why wouldn’t we? When I Googled Stuffed Italian Sausages in preparation for writing...
Eggplant deniers, listen up! A week or so ago I got a text from my mom. She had a recipe that belonged on the blog. She told me about a sheet pan dinner she’s been making for a while now that my dad LOVES. And after hearing what she does, I can certainly see why....
My friend Kim gave me the bones of this recipe at least 15 years ago, and I still have it in my recipe box in her handwriting. I elaborated on the recipe a bit, and rearranged it to make it more user-friendly, but the essence is the same: Italian-seasoned meat,...
Please don’t call, email, text, tweet, or message me to say this recipe is straight-up heresy. I already know. My very favorite jambalaya comes from the cookbook La Bouche Creole by Leon Soniat. Mr. Soniat was an old-school Louisiana chef, and he wrote a food...
This recipe is going into my upcoming soup cookbook, but y’all need it now. New Year’s Day is just around the corner, and I bet none of us can afford to miss out on either money or luck. Black Eyed Pea and Cabbage Soup is a delightful way to cover your (ahem) bases....
I’m sure you’ve all heard of the beloved British dessert, Eton Mess. It’s a gorgeous jumble of macerated strawberries or raspberries, whipped cream, and meringue. I have a friend who had a restaurant in Tuscaloosa once upon a time, and when they came up with a brownie...
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...
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...
