Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

It’s my mission in life to get everybody to like sweet potatoes in applications other than candied.  Well, one of my missions anyway, and I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before.  I’m confident this delicious Roasted Sweet Potato Salad will win converts.   While...

Jessica’s Baked Eggplant with Tomatoes and Onions

Jessica’s Baked Eggplant with Tomatoes and Onions

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...

Lady Pea Salad

Lady Pea Salad

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...

The Best Easy Coleslaw Recipe (no mayo)

The Best Easy Coleslaw Recipe (no mayo)

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...

Jalapeño Popper Grits

Jalapeño Popper Grits

Cheesy and delicious, Jalapeño Popper Grits have all the flavors you love in jalapeño poppers.  In case you’ve been living under a rock, if you order jalapeño poppers in a restaurant you’ll get jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar, and bacon bits, then rolled...

Antipasto Salad

Antipasto Salad

Antipasto.  The literal translation from Italian is “before the meal.”  In Italy antipasto can be any number of things served at the table before the main dishes:  cheeses, meats, olives, artichokes, marinated vegetables, fried or grilled vegetables, bruschetta,...

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...

Stuffed Acorn Squash

Stuffed Acorn Squash

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...

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...

Summer Squash Gratin

Summer Squash Gratin

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...

Fresh Corn Salad

Fresh Corn Salad

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. ...

Creole Potato Salad with Ham

Creole Potato Salad with Ham

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...

It's going to be really cold, and I'm actively dreading it.  I think I'll just stay inside and cook.

Okay, so it takes a minute to fry the wontons.  Totally worth it, though!  Crab Rangoon Dip is an easy treat.  Happy New Year!
