Tomato-Tarragon Soup

January 26, 2011

Last weekend BeeBop and I had the most amazing time attending the first ever Food Blog South in Birmingham. We met other bloggers, learned from some of the best in the food blogging world and enjoyed some pretty incredible food. I can’t wait to tell you all about it and I will just as soon [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Basic Salsa

July 13, 2010

I’m still on a canning kick here. How can I not be with all the great produce that’s available this time of year? Today I’m sharing my canning recipe for a good, basic salsa. The tomatoes are still coming in and peppers are ready, too, so it was time to go ahead and put up [...]

Summer Shrimp Cocktail

June 30, 2010

What do you think of when you hear the words “shrimp cocktail?” You don’t even need to think about it, do you? I don’t. Those words instantly transport me back in time to the 1970′s and almost every steak house’s appetizer menu. The shrimp cocktail was a classic, wasn’t it? It came to the table in a stemmed glass [...]

Pasta with Italian Sausage & Tomatoes

June 23, 2010

It’s summer time in the South. And, let me tell you, a southern summer is hot. Hot and humid. The kind of hot that you almost can’t get away from and the kind of humidity that clings to your skin and wilts your hair as soon as you set foot outside the air conditioned comfort [...]

Pasta with Tomato-Basil Sauce

June 8, 2010

Can anyone tell me something that shouts “summer time” louder and clearer than tomatoes and fresh basil? Tomatoes and basil are two ingredients that make a near perfect combination every time. There’s the classic Caprese Salad with tomatoes, basil and mozzarella. And Panzanella, the perfectly delectable use for day old Italian bread, with tomatoes and basil. But today I’m [...]

Ziti Bake

April 12, 2010

Wow. Do I ever have Spring Fever! The days are longer and warmer and all I want to do is enjoy the sunshine. Nearly to the exclusion of everything else. Including cooking. That’s bad. Especially when you have a food blog! In case no one noticed, I only did one post last week. One measly [...]

Pasta Puttanesca

April 2, 2010

I know I’ve told you all before how BeeBop loves his meat and potatoes. I do, too, but I also love veggies! If I could get away with it, I’d do a meatless dinner several times a week. While we’re not quite to that point yet, I do occasionally slip in a meatless meal and he usually enjoys it. This [...]

Black & White Bean Soup

March 2, 2010

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

February 22, 2010

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 [...]
