Tomato Aspic

Tomato-Zucchini Tian

Refrigerator Pickles

June 16, 2011

If y’all remember, I have written several posts in the past about home canning. There was the Strawberry Jam. Then the Kosher Dills and the Pickled Okra. And don’t forget that delicious Basic Salsa, either! All tried and true great recipes. But, you know what? Sometimes I just don’t have enough produce on hand to [...]

Summertime Pasta Salad

Call me old-fashioned but I just love a good old pasta salad. One that is loaded with fresh veggies and coated with a rich, tangy dressing. Oh, yeah. That’s right, I’m bringing back the centerpiece of every 1980′s cookout. I’m making it my mission to revive the lowly pasta salad. Just ask BeeBop. We’ve had [...]

Crispy Roasted Potatoes

May 27, 2011

I’ve wanted to make this Crispy Roasted Potato recipe ever since I first set eyes on it at Teri Lynn Fisher’s Fish Food blog.

Baked Panko Onion Rings

That crispy, crunchy goodness coating something delicious and steaming hot inside. Yum. In the South of my childhood we ate lots of fried foods – [...]
