Black Bean Chili

September 30, 2011

Pin It Well y’all, Fall is definitely starting to show her face around here. You know, here in the South, Fall can be a real tease. She shows up with her nice cool temperatures for a day or two and then…poof!…she’s gone again. She brings you a nice crisp morning one day and then the [...]

Meatballs in Creamy Tomato-Dill Sauce

September 23, 2011

Pin It Sometimes I feel creative and adventurous in the kitchen. That’s when I really enjoy taking ingredients and making them into something new, fresh, different. Other times I’m simply stuck in a rut. Those are the days when I fall back on my kitchen classics. Pot roast. Baked chicken. Omelets. You know what I mean, right? The [...]

Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato (BLT) Pasta

September 17, 2011

Pin It People think that because I write a food blog that I must cook constantly. Well, it is true that I do enjoy getting in the kitchen and making great food for my family. However, if I’m being totally honest, there are days when by dinner time I’m just completely wiped out. Does that [...]

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 [...]

Tomato-Zucchini Tian

July 27, 2011

It’s that time of year, folks. Yep, it’s zucchini season. Isn’t is amazing how one little seed so innocently and hopefully planted in the Spring grows into a monster plant covering at least twice as much area as you estimated? And producing more dang zucchini than you and your family can possibly eat? And you [...]

Tilapia with Tomato, Olive & Caper Sauce

July 22, 2011

Confession time. I have a love-hate relationship with fish. What I mean is I love it when someone else cooks it. I hate trying to cook it myself at home. Maybe it’s the southern in me, but the only way I’ve ever prepared really tasty fish at home is deep frying. You give me a [...]

Tomato Jam

March 8, 2011

I’m going to tell you something today that I’ll bet you don’t know about me. I love ketchup. Adore it. I eat it like a six-year-old. On french fries. On hash browns. On hamburgers. And, yes, on steak. Especially on steak, much to the chagrin of servers in steak houses all around this area. It’s just not a steak [...]

Tomatoes Provencal

February 25, 2011

That old familiar quote, “the best laid plans of mice and men go oft awry” was in full effect around here last night. I had planned to cook something so old-fashioned, so Southern, so comforting and that post was going to show up today right here. However…something happened that I’ve never had to happen in [...]

Roasted Baby Vidalia Onions and Cherry Tomatoes

February 4, 2011

It’s Super Bowl weekend and every food blog on the internet has a post on football snacks and party food. So, what am I doing? Roasting baby Vidalia onions. Of course. Because, yeah, I’m a rebel like that. Actually BeeBop and I never watch the Super Bowl. Just not our thing. We’re college football fans [...]

Georgia BLT

September 7, 2010

I’ve been thinking about trying this recipe for a while now. It’s taking the classic BLT and putting a little southern twist on it. A little Georgia twist. Fried green tomatoes are as classic a southern recipe as any I know. They are most famously served daily at Social Circle’s Blue Willow Inn, a Georgia institution of [...]
