Tomato Aspic

August 5, 2011

Okay, go ahead and call me old-fashioned. I can take it. Really. Yes, I’m going way back in time today with this recipe for Tomato Aspic. It’s one of those classic recipes that you rarely see any more, but one which I wish more people would serve. I remember many, many ladies luncheons, bridal showers [...]

Warm Vegetable Salad

May 19, 2011

I’ve gotta make that right now.” Well, that’s exactly what I thought when I saw this recipe. I could just imagine the taste [...]

Minty Watermelon Salad

April 13, 2011

Funny where the inspiration for recipes comes from, isn’t it? You just never know when you’re going to find something interesting. Take last Saturday for instance. I was doing my usual weekly shopping and making my final stop in the produce department. My local grocery store always has lots of recipe cards placed throughout the [...]

Sunshine Salad

March 4, 2011

You knew it had to happen sometime. It was inevitable. I mean, really, this is primarily a Southern food blog, right? What am I talking about? Why, congealed salad, of course. Something that every Southern cook “of a certain age” has in his or her repertoire. And not just one or two recipes, either. I’m [...]

Copper Pennies

January 18, 2011

I’m showing my “vintage” today with this recipe. It’s one of those oldie-goldies that most southern cooks of my “vintage” have in their recipe box. This one has been served at more church suppers and company dinners than you could count. It’s one of my grandmother’s favorites – I thought about her the whole time I was making [...]

Red Cabbage Slaw

September 21, 2010

Every once in a while I get a craving for some cabbage. It only happens every five years or so, but last weekend was one of those times. This is a big deal in our house because BeeBop absolutely detests cabbage. Thinks it is of the devil. Believes it smells like the contents of the [...]

Fire and Ice Tomatoes

September 2, 2010

Summer is winding down here in north Georgia. The past few mornings have been noticeably cooler and much less humid but the afternoons still offer us temperatures into the low 90′s. It’s the typical prelude to Fall weather here. Even though we know Fall is just around the corner, there’s still time for some good [...]

Toasted Pecan Chicken Salad

August 18, 2010

It’s been a really hot summer here in Georgia. Hot temperatures and high humidity, too. It seems like I haven’t been cooking as much as usual, either. I just realized that I’ve only posted one actual recipe since the end of July! That must change and quickly! This is a food blog after all. I’ve [...]
