Turkey and Sausage Gumbo
Soup, stew and gumbo are favorites. I love to cook them and I love to eat them. Contrary to what some folks believe, I don’t consider cold weather the only fittin’ time for eating soup, stew and gumbo. We eat them year round. I’m a sucker for anything that cooks in one pot. Even if… continue reading »

Spicy Pimento Cheese Biscuit Bites
Something happened Thursday that I’ve never experienced and, most likely, will never again. The event was so intense and emotional that I was exhausted by the night’s end. I held the story of my life in my hands. My copies of the cookbooks shipped from the publisher. While I’ve read the manuscript 1,000 times… continue reading »

Corned Beef Dinner
Corned beef and cabbage is a dish associated with St. Patrick’s Day and fairly well forgotten the rest of the year. Ironically, this dish isn’t traditional Irish fare on St. Patrick’s Day, or any other day. Also, it’s such a fine meal, we need to eat it more often. I’ve never baked corned beef and… continue reading »

Irish Soda Bread
Regardless of whether you have an Irish heritage, many scramble for Irish dishes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. You know, if folks are smart, they will make sure to connect food or foods to a holiday when they establish the holiday. There’s a much bigger fuss made over food holidays than non-food holidays. Think about… continue reading »

Roasted Strawberries
The winter strawberry capital of the world is a grand place to live in the winter. The strawberries are abundant and the climate is mild. Occasionally, we do get temperatures that drop below freezing at night. The strawberries farmers spring into action and employ methods to protect their precious ruby crop. If a strawberry freezes… continue reading »

Meyer Lemon Bars
I don’t know that I’ve ever met someone who doesn’t like Lemon Bars. I suppose they’re out there somewhere in the big ol’ world, but I can tell you that our paths have never crossed. Never. Lemon desserts are a favorite of many. I guess it’s that sweet and sour combination that’s irresistible. Like sweet… continue reading »

Chili Roasted Sweet Potatoes
We awoke to a definite nip in the air. For that matter, we went to bed with a nip in the air. The temperatures took a nose dive yesterday. We had to turn the heater on which isn’t a common occurrence in central Florida. Brisk weather is a treat for us. It seems to energize… continue reading »

Slow Cooker Hot Mulled Apple Cider
I never realized how much I love Hot Mulled Apple Cider until recently. Sam and I were visiting Colonial Williamsburg in the middle of December. We’ve been there several times before but this was our first winter trip. Take my word for it when I tell you it gets cold in the Tidewater region of… continue reading »

A Supper of Chicken and Vegetables
My husband and I agreed several years ago to modify the way he and I exchange Christmas gifts. Instead of stressing over the perfect Christmas gift, we agreed that we would give each other a trip. Of course, the trip he gives me is the same trip I give him. We take a trip together,… continue reading »

Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Pork Chops
Brown sugar and pork. Pork and brown sugar. Brown sugar and pork with just the right balance of sweet, savory and spice. Seriously. I could end the narrative right here and right now because I really don’t need to say anything else about the flavors of this dish. Except I will say the sweet and… continue reading »
