You gotta love any recipe that starts with, “Every woman’s sauce is her own.” Because, isn’t it true? We are all made up of ingredients that may seem simple, but combined are inspiring. So, Leesa — of Red Gravy fame — is one of my sister’s oldest friends. As in grade school, y’all! And her …
We have another guest recipe today — why? Because sometimes I just get in the mood for something and I want to make it. You know how it is — you start thinking about Carrot Souffle and then you can’t stop thinking about the light, airy deliciousness. Your mouth is watering for warm carroty goodness …
Mom didn’t really have a recipe for this, because it was really a “use what is on hand” sort of recipe — which is perfect for our isolated status, where I’m spending time trying to clean out the cabinet rather than risking the stoes. It’s not that I can’t get groceries…it’s just…well, ya’ll I tried …
So, I’m stuck at home because of a pandemic (which is something I never thought I’d write in my life) — so what am I doing? Baking and Cooking! I have realized that getting up and getting to work takes a lot more energy than I think it does. Since we’ve been home (I’m working …
It is amazing how just MAKING FOOD educates you…I was getting ready to make this recipe for Chicken Divan (which my family always called Chicken Couch — because why would you NOT?) and noted the 4-6 chicken breasts. I decided to cut the recipe down to 3 chicken breasts and cut everything else roughly in …
My mother’s recipes are the BANE of my existence. I love my mother, and God bless her and keep her — but OMG, let God take that pen away from her when she’s writing down recipes! Why? Because this woman has her own shorthand that consists of leaving out titles, instructions, temps…everything! Case in point: …
My sister was the first one to introduce our family to macadamia nuts, and how amazing those nuts can be with white chocolate. So it was no surprise when these little babies started showing up in the “sweets corner” of my mom’s kitchen. BTW, I loved that sweets corner — It was always a surprise …
You ever have that kind of day where you wake up and you feel like you need about 9 hours more sleep? And it is rainy and cold outside, but you’ve got errands that HAVE to get done — and by the time you are done you are cold and your socks are wet and …
My sister is the source of this cake, but mom loved it as well. It is one of those cakes that you dream about after you’ve made it. It is gone too soon, and you always envy the person who got the last slice. If you decide to carve the cake into a shape (you …
This is an INCREDIBLY versatile soup. It is kind of like chili crossed with vegetable soup — so feel free to add any sort of other vegetables that strike your fancy and noodles too. My mom usually took whatever veggies that were sitting around in the fridge or pantry, drained them and then dumped them …
