Spiced Tea (a.k.a. Russian Tea)

March 8, 2010

You might not think that growing up as I did in a tiny, rural south Georgia town in the 50’s and 60’s would provide a person with many social opportunities. That assumption would be so wrong! I believe we probably had more social events back then than people have these days. And the most important social [...]

I still remember the first time I ever had Carne Asada Tacos. It was in Albany, Georgia, at the El Maya II mexican restaurant. I ordered them because I wanted something different from my usual soft beef tacos with a side of frijoles. And what a perfect choice it was! I remember the burst of flavor [...]

Black & White Bean Soup

I’ve been sitting here all morning watching it snow. Big, fat, wet flakes falling and sticking to the trees, shrubs and grass. Snowfall is pretty rare here in Georgia, although we’ve had a couple this winter. There’s just something mesmerizing about watching snow fall. Maybe it’s because I grew up much further south where it’s [...]

You might remember in my last post with the Seafood Stew recipe, I mentioned that I served that with some bacon-cheddar biscuits and promised that the recipe would be coming up in a few days. Well, ta da! Here it is.
I knew the instant I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit that I wanted to [...]

Seafood Stew

Are you like me…a push-over for a food magazine? I never met one I didn’t like and rarely pass one on the shelf that I don’t pick up and glance through. More often than not, they come right on home with me. I can sit and read them for hours. So, when I picked up [...]

Cheesy Ham and Potato Bake

It has been an interesting week around our house! Last Friday we got about 4 inches of snow. I know to some of you 4 inches of snow is nothing. However, for anywhere in Georgia that’s a lot. Needless to say, it shut down everything around here. Roads closed, schools closed, stores closed. I mean [...]

I don’t know how or why I ever thought of this recipe, but I’m so glad I did. Maybe it was a wish to change up a regular burger a little. You know, make it more interesting? And, without bragging too much, I have to say that this recipe is a real winner! It’s like [...]

Have I told you about Neena? Neena is my mom. Neena is what all of her grandchildren call her. It started when my daughter, L, was a baby and tried to say her name but it came out sounding like Nee-Nah. And she’s been Neena ever since.
Neena is a fabulous cook and southern cuisine is [...]

Do you have recipes that are your “go-to” dishes? Ones that you’ve cooked so many times you could make them with your eyes closed? I do, and this is one of them. Italian sausage and peppers is a long-time favorite in our house. While neither one of us has an ounce of Italian heritage, we are [...]

Lime Cupcakes

Two lonely limes. Just sitting there in my produce basket. Looking back at me for over a week. Poor little limes. They felt so neglected. I could tell. I’m sensitive like that.
Those limes were originally destined for pico de gallo, or salsa, or something with a southwestern flair. I don’t know how they wound up [...]
