A while back, I was suckered into a special at my local grocery stop. 5 pounds of country ham from a well-known local hamery (…Is that a word? Is now.). Who would pass up 5 pounds of slow-cured, delicious country ham?! Nobody. That’s who. I found myself slightly burned out of country ham…
Oatmeal Cranberry Cream Pies
I’ve recently become addicted to the cookies at a tiny, pop-up coffee shop on campus where I work. These cookies are perfection. Ridiculously chewy, not too sweet and of course, best of all, massive. Like the size of a baby’s head kind of massive. These have become my go-to coffee companion in the mornings…
Zucchini Fritters
Keeping with the theme posts, this is another of my favorite zucchini recipes. Hitting summer vacation (aka beach season), I decided to make a legitimate attempt at eating something that wasn’t fried or covered in ranch. The result was pretty delicious– Zucchini Fritters.
Blackberry Gin Punch
By now, y’all know that I have a slight addiction to anything blackberry, having posted Berry Cool Ice Cream during our 4th of July roundup, Baked Blackberry Brie for a quick party treat, and then the most famous post on the blog to date– Blackberry Bourbon Cupcakes. Muddling some fresh basil, blackberries and of…
Pesto Three Ways
One of the most simple, delicious sauces is a classic pesto. Traditionally, pesto genovese, which is named after it’s originating home in Genoa, Italy, is a simple sauce made from nuts, cheese, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt. While pine nuts are usually the culprit of choice, many other nuts can be used to give…
5 Minute Flour Tortillas
There isn’t much that is better than taco night at home…. unless you also make your own tortillas! I discovered how ridiculously easy these are to make when I had a midnight taco craving and lacked the get-up-and-go to make a TB run (and that means a lot… I do love a cheesy gordita crunch!)….
Happy 4th, Y’all!
Hope everyone has a great day with friends and family! Here is our roundup of cookout favorites that have recently posted. July 4th Cookout Series Round-Up from Southern FATTY
4th of Wine Sangria
It wouldn’t be a 4th of July cookout without a fresh fruit sangria! A simple, slightly sweet drink (…or pitcher) is the perfect way to cool off when you are outside celebrating with friends and family. For this recipe, we will turn a classic, crispy white wine into a refreshing white wine fruit sangria….
Berry Cool Ice Cream
Everyone loves a good science demo, right? A good explosion, crazy bubbles flying out of tubes, weird and creepy dissections. I may be a bit biased when it comes to the whole science being fun thing, but I can promise you that this will be the best tasting experiment you’ll ever ace! I’m going to…
Little Smokies Sliders
Nothing says Independence Day celebration like a good ol’ BBQ. Sparklers, drinks, food, good friends. With that said, nothing says BBQ with friends in the South more than Lit’l Smokies®. These tiny dogs are a match made in fireworks heaven when simmered in BBQ sauce. For the start to our 4th hurrah, we toss some BBQ-glazed…
