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 [...]

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 [...]

Italian Sausage and Peppers

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 [...]

I found this recipe for Bistro Chicken on the Kraft Foods web site a while back and since I happened to have some chicken breasts on hand I thought I’d give it a try. It turned out to be a keeper! It was simple and quick to put together and uses ingredients that most of [...]

Red Rice

Another one of BeeBop’s favorites! Red Rice. Based on the famed Charleston Red Rice. Sort of. Well, kinda. It’s similar anyway. If you’re a fan of Low Country cooking, please indulge me. I know this is not the accurate, authentic Charleston Red Rice. It does have one thing in common, however. It’s good!
When BeeBop was [...]

Pico de Gallo

Well. For a girl who mostly cooks traditional southern farmhouse recipes, this is something of a change, huh? Plus, it’s a recipe you usually think about in the warm weather not when it’s drizzling rain and about 50 degrees out, right? Oh, what the heck. It’s something BeeBop and I just love and I don’t [...]

It’s getting to be that time of year when everyone starts to think of soups and stews. The leaves are just on the verge of turning. There’s even an occasional morning when the temperature is noticeably cooler and the air less humid. Days like these make us all start wanting to settle in for cooler weather, don’t [...]

BLT Smashed Potatoes

Don’t you get tired of the same old side dishes over and over? You know the standards — green beans, side salad, bread. You can cook nearly any main dish you want, add green beans, a side salad and bread and have a complete meal, can’t you? Well, there are times when I think if I have [...]

Tuna Melt

Tuna sandwiches are something we enjoy around here on occasion. They’re easy to make for a quick lunch and if you use low-fat mayo in the tuna salad, they’re actually pretty healthy. My standard tuna salad is tuna with low-fat mayo, a little mustard, minced celery, minced apple (if you’re saying, “HUH?” just give it a try) and a little [...]

Stuffed Zucchini

Earlier this summer we had a lovely zucchini plant in our little garden. One zucchini plant. One zucchini plant that darn near took over that entire area of the garden. Even though it was huge, gigantic would be more like it, that darned plant just wasn’t producing anything. It had to have been 6 feet [...]
