For those days when you just can’t even think anymore, the answer to dinner is Pasta al Limone. Pasta al Limone translates to Lemon-Scented Pasta. It hails from the Naples/Amalfi Coast area of Italy, where they grow the finest lemons in the world. It’s...
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...
Cucumber and Carrot Salad with Ginger Dressing is a staple in our house. It’s one of our go-to salads year-round, and we’re especially fond of having it with all sorts of Asian-American dishes. Princess Persnickety is a sushi fan, and Cucumber and Carrot Salad with...
A couple of days ago my dear friend AC showed up to Party on the Porch with a particularly thoughtful hostess gift: a gallon bag of gorgeous fresh basil. I used some for garnish on some pasta the next day and I still had a ton left. I certainly didn’t need more...
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...
I was at my parents’ house recently, and my mom was making me take home tomatoes from their garden. (That makes it sound like a bad thing--it’s not.) I guess we were talking about what to do with tomatoes when she announced that a gentleman they know has the best...
I haven’t made Sweet Potato Hummus in a while, and I made it last weekend for a party. It’s one of those things I forget about, and then when I do make it I think, “Why am I not making this all the time?!?” There’s nothing authentic about it, and I don’t care. ...

Let me be perfectly clear right up front: this may not be the Mac and Cheese you were expecting. I’ve been making this Macaroni and Cheese for a long time. It has many similarities to the Macaroni and Cheese that my mom made for us growing up, but I’ve long since lost...
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,...
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,...
I’m a child of the South--Baldwin County, Alabama, to be exact--and as such, I’m a big fan of sweet potatoes. We grow them here. Well, not me personally, but the sweet potato growers grow them. In the fall you’ll see big, happy, beautiful, piles of them in local...
