Super Bowl Snacks: Sausage Stuffed Jalapenos
The BIG GAME is tomorrow night. Are you making snacks or like my husband suggested, picking up sushi take out? Seriously, he suggested picking up sushi take out and watching the game, so that I wouldn’t have to cook for a game that I cared nothing about. I love that man! Well, regardless of my […]

Southern Gentleman’s Grilled Cheese
As a competitive cook with a foodie husband, many date nights are spent creating recipes and having at-home cook offs. We each create our own masterpieces, post the pics on Facebook and Instagram, let everyone vote, and then, share dinner. We’ve had potato salad throw downs, chili cook offs, and this one, a grilled cheese […]

Date Night Beef Wellington for 2

Every episode, “just once…I want to try Beef Wellington.” Well, it may have taken several years, but I finally got the hint. I dropped by the supermarket, […]

Not My Mother’s Stuffed Bell Peppers
I knew from the beginning that if I made stuffed bell peppers, then I would have to make them “removable.” My kids are pretty good eaters and always have been, but as they’ve gotten older, they learn socially that green vegetables, peppers, and onions are BAD! Both of my boys would lick the guacamole bowl […]

The New Beans & Rice

Tilapia with Warm Crab Salsa & Manchego Grits
The real challenge for many home cooks is using what is readily available in the neighborhood grocery store and turn it into something fantastic, something creative, something inventive.

Old Fashioned Southern Tea Ring
As a young girl growing up in the south, going to church socials and covered dish luncheons was nothing unusual. Whether it was the monthly, after-Sunday-service lunch or a holiday social, the ladies of the church always put their best dishes forward. As a foodie from birth, I have always associated food with people and […]
