Christmas Dinner Salads & Salad Dressings
Regardless of your Christmas dinner main course, the sides are just as important and should not be overlooked (or underestimated). Whether it’s Grandma’s green bean casserole or Aunt Barb’s stuffing, sides should be just as memorable, and salads are no exception. The days of bagged salads and bottled salad dressings are over…at least in our […]

Summer Salads: Southern Cornbread Salad
Nothing says summer quite like a picnic or pool party, and nothing is better than party food that as quick as it is yummy! However, I can’t wrap my head around picnics of simple cold-cut sandwiches and chips. Growing up, there was always one dish that was guaranteed a place on every picnic and summer […]

Summer Salads: Coconut Mahi-Citrus-Kale Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
Bring from Florida and having grown up on an island in the summers, I have caught, dipped, wrangled, cleaned, shelled, cooked, and eaten my fair share of seafood, in all shapes, sizes, and colors. In fact, one of my earliest memories from childhood was walking with my mom through the grass flats around Boca Grande […]

Shrimp Ceviche Salad on Tostadas

Memphis BBQ Potato Salad
Remember my earlier post about date night recipe throw-downs? This was our first.

Easy Easter Sides: Skillet Green Beans with Citrus #SundaySupper
On this year’s menu, we’re going fresh, bright, and simple with a light, simple green bean side dish that is quick and loaded with flavor, but these aren’t just any old green beans. These green beans are blanched to keep them green and quickly sauteed in a skillet with fresh citrus segments, giving them just enough time to bathe in all that citrus glory.

Sesame Wedge Salad with Key Lime Vinaigrette & Pickled Green Tomatoes #SundaySupper
Up until a couple of months ago, I’d never tried a “wedge” salad. Granted, it’s only iceberg lettuce and toppings, but iceberg has never thrilled me, so I’ve never ordered or made one. Then, came lunch at the Dogfish Head Brew Pub and all that changed. With heirloom grape tomatoes, Applewood smoked bacon, and goat […]
