Holiday Eve Penne

It happens every year. We get so fixated on the details of the big day – family, food, drink, decor – that we forget to plan how we’ll feed ourselves the night before the festivities kick off. Of course you want to save your stomach space and cooking energy for the following day, but likely [&hellip

A Sweet, Smokey Autumn Cocktail

Today, we’re all together in Montgomery, Alabama helping Granny move for the second time in about as many years. We knew this day was coming, but I’m not sure we were prepared for what it meant. After today, our family won’t have much reason to visit Panama City, Florida. And waving goodbye to this place [&hellip

Orzo-White Bean “Stoup” with Kale

Christina from Fork You. No, Fork You! posted a photo on Instagram of her lunch a few weeks ago – she called it ‘stoup’. Though I’d never heard the word stoup, I knew she had not accidentally added a ‘T’ to soup. She was referring to a dish that was neither stew nor soup. Stoup. [&hellip

Warm Brussels Sprouts Salad with Roasted Grapes and Walnuts

For a time I swore off Thanksgiving first courses. They mostly get in the way of what people really want to do: chow down on all the good stuff! But for us this year, Thanksgiving is small and simple. We’re serving a few classics, done well, and I’m hoping for  a good strong fire, and [&hellip

Cranberry Scones with Rosemary and Orange

The other day I was paging through the November issue of Bon Appetit when a Target ad caught my eye. There was a box of Bisquick a + sign, a bag of cranberries, an = sign, followed by some really appealing cranberry scones. “Hmm,” I thought. I don’t need Bisquick to make cranberry scones, so

Spiced Blueberry-Balsamic Compote

It’s just David, Andy, Maggy, and me for Thanksgiving. The temptation was to fill out the big table and add a second like I always do, but this year was different. My dad died in May, and Mom’s alone now. An only child, I visit her every month, but it’s not enough. At a time

The Best-Ever Pimento Cheese

Have you ever agreed to do something, gotten started, and then thought: “What have I gotten myself into?” Sometimes, I feel like that’s the story of my life. The most recent installment of “What the $%*# am I doing?!” starred my husband, Anthony, and me as we navigated the process of throwing a fundraiser for

Bean Bourguignon

This time of year Maggy, Sharon, and I love warm stews. There was a time when we wouldn’t give a thought about making a big pot of beef, lamb, or pork stew. We still do–I made lamb shanks this past weekend–but less frequently. We’re always looking for creative ways to cut our meat consumption.  Bean
