I love leftovers but after a few days of the same thing I definitely try to reinvent the wheel. Recently I was inspired by the classic Reuben sandwich which is piled high with corned beef or pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing, and served on rye bread. Since I don’t care for corned beef or …
This creamy coleslaw is a Southern staple at any cookout. (Recipe first posted in 2012, updated in 2014). Just like spinach and salmon, coleslaw was one food item that I used to strongly dislike. I still remember the first time I truly enjoyed it was on the dock of John’s family farm a few years ago. …
Whenever John and I need a quick dinner – If I don’t make a panini I make a pizza…Fact. Now there will come a time when I have the time to make my own pizza dough, just like I want to make my own pasta from scratch. But last night was not one of those nights. …
One of my favorite shows that I record daily is The Chew. Obviously I watch this one without John since it’s a talk show dedicated to food. A few months back they made a dessert that I knew I had to try. Light, airy, savory & sweet. A perfect combination! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:124] adapted from Michael Symon’s recipe
Recently I went on my Friday lunch date with my kindle to explore another restaurant in Indianapolis. As I was actually driving around trying to find a gas station I stumbled upon the Barking Dog Cafe. I figured why not. And it didn’t hurt that their outside tables were lime green 🙂 So I ordered …
Since John and I have been married I have gotten on this kick of cooking Asian food. I have always loved Mexican and Italian cuisine but going into a grocery store and finding new spices and sauces for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Thai food has gotten me interested in learning more about the cuisine. So far …
I love music & I love listening to the different genres and memories it takes me back to. Some of my first memories of music are with my dad listening to Phil Spector’s Box Set Album Back to Mono with hits from The Ronettes- Be My Baby, The Crystals- Then He Kissed Me, and and Darlene Love- A …
What are some of your favorite comfort foods? One of mine is tomato soup. Better yet a good ol’ bisque. Then add in some cheesy tortellini and I’m weak in the knees. I served this at our last Supper Club with a Roasted Red Pepper Caprese Grilled Cheese and Iceberg Wedge Salad and it was all …
I made this recipe a few Sundays ago when I saw this recipe on Paula Deen’s show and wanted to make it instantly. I had to obviously make a few tweeks to what I had in my fridge to reinvent the wheel a little bit but my version turned out great! Since Sundays are my …
For as much time as I spend in the kitchen I rarely cook breakfast. It happens maybe on a Saturday or Sunday but that is about it. So when I came across this recipe on How Sweet It Is I knew I had to try it. One of my favorite go to salads is a …
I have always loved potatoes and how many different things you can do with them. For breakfast, use them for hashbrowns, for lunch make a sandwich with potato bread, and for dinner you can have them as a side or make them part of the main dish. Here are a few of my favorite ways …
Do you have a go to menu? One that you have memorized and could do with your eyes closed? Well my two go to dishes are my country skillet corn and three cheese mashed potatoes. Every holiday, first time supper club, dinner party, I whip these up because they are stress free. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:131]
Earlier this month I told you about going to a restaurant called Patachou in the Park and ordering the Cuban Breakfast. Well I turned it into a delicious dinner and added meat. The highlights of the dish are the quail but also the creamy and delicious California avocados. Don’t let the quail scare you away, it …
Back in Birmingham we would have dinner parties all of the time. That is one of my favorite things in the world to do. Even when John and I would go back to GA to see my parents we would generally have a supper club/ game night at our friends house. So why wouldn’t it be …
It is not out of the ordinary that I cook something 5-6 nights out the week. But the past couple weeks I have taken my normal Sunday that is filled with checking things off my to-do list and really started relaxing and being still (Psalm 46:10). For those of you who know me this is …
For the past two months I have enjoyed my Wednesday night company. John brings home two of his coworkers for a good home cooked meal. And it’s even more special because they are from Alabama and have become close friends. Like I said a few posts ago, I have been cooking up Mexican feasts once …
To have one last party in our house before we move, I decided to have a ladies brunch. It was perfect timing since some of my childhood friends would be in town too. Our Menu included: Breakfast Brunch Casserole Bacon Cream Cheese Pinwheels Maple Glazed Sausage Links Wrapped in Bacon Hash browns Fruit, Granola and Yogurt …
My Mexican Pie recipe is not only a simple recipe to make but holds a dear place in my heart. This is the first dish I ever cooked for John when we started dating. So pair with some white queso dip and tortilla chips and enjoy!! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:154] Menu for the Week: Sausage & Tortellini Soup …
