Need a holiday side that seems fancy, yet is easy to make, and travels well? And pairs beautifully with turkey OR ham? I know you’re planning now, and I’ve got you covered. This is a job for Stuffed Acorn Squash. I’ve served these delicious Stuffed Acorn...
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...
I love summer squash, and if you've clicked in here on purpose, I suspect you do, too. I like it sautéed, roasted, breaded and fried. I also REALLY like squash casserole. It's squashy and cheesy with a lovely crunchy cracker crust. I don't make squash casserole...
We’ve talked before about how seasonally-dependent we all are on fresh-picked, local, Silver Queen corn. Well, last week my favorite fresh corn dealer let it be known that she’d be back in business on Friday at her usual spot--the side road next to the liquor store. ...
This is the second installment of our “What the Heck am I Supposed to Do with All This Leftover Ham?” series. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anybody who doesn’t like some form of potato salad. My Nana made the best potato salad ever. I won’t divulge her...
I’ve been told that Cauliflower au Gratin is a southern thing. Does anybody know if that’s true? Can somebody from the Midwest or someplace like that weigh in here? Did y’all have Cauliflower au Gratin growing up? (EDIT: An English friend says they have it in England,...
Consider this my mashed potato manifesto: I don’t like gluey mashed potatoes. I want everyone to stop making them that way immediately. If you like gluey mashed potatoes, I won’t invite you to eat at my house. And if you show up anyway, I’ll make you a convert. So...
I’ve recommended (and explained) Coconut Rice as an accompaniment to other dishes before, but I wanted y’all to be able to go straight to the recipe when you need it. You’ll only need it once though, it’s so easy to remember. In addition to being delicious, coconut...
I should warn those of you who are looking for genuine Thai food that this Pineapple Fried Rice isn’t especially authentic. This is a recipe I cobbled together from many different sources, and then adapted it to our US Gulf Coast pantries. It’s delicious, though. We...
What if I told you I have a vegetable recipe that your family will gobble up as fast as they snarf down French fries? What if I also told you making it was silly easy, but it sounded sort of fancy? (Y’all know that’s my favorite kind of recipe.) Well, Parmesan Roasted...
I served this as a dip at an event on Cinco de Mayo and several people asked for the recipe. It’s a recipe we sometimes had in the catering shop coolers for TexMex Tuesdays, and it was popular there, too. Based on Mexico’s beloved street snack, elote--charred corn on...
I assume you need a stupendously good holiday potato recipe? Well, today is your lucky day. This started out as an Emeril Lagasse recipe as I recall, I fiddled with it some, and now I’ve been making it forever. But let me be perfectly clear: this isn’t some...
