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!)….
Appetizers & Snacks
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
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…
Homemade Guacamole + Writing Process Tour
There are a million wonderful ways to eat avocado. I have recently been addicted to avocado on toast in the mornings, my weekly sushi night at home is always greeted with avocado and I even use it as a substitute for butter in baking. Everything is better with a bit of ‘cado in it! On…
Baked Blackberry Brie
I recently grabbed a wheel of brie on my last big grocery haul, having zero clue what I would really end up doing with it. I thought it would be nice to use at some point. It sat in my fridge for a while. I didn’t want to just cut it up and eat it. That…
Baked Candied Pecans
Short and sweet… and certainly addictive! With my family being from Georgia, I grew up on pecans. I can remember sitting in my grandmother’s living room after family holidays with a nut sheller for hours. That was the deal. She would give us a couple boxes (yes… boxes.) of perfect Georgia pecans if we…
Loaded Fried Green Tomatoes
Continuing with our movie food theme, I decided to make one of my favorite side items– fried green tomatoes. Mashed potatoes, maybe a steak or BBQ chicken and crispy fried tomatoes. The perfect country meal! This time, I decided to make it the feature item instead of the lonely bench player that nobody ever…
Sweet Tomato Jam
“Tomatoes. Somebody’s gotta take ’em. I hate ’em! I try not to eat healthy food if I can possibly help it.” -Ouiser, Steel Magnolias Tomato what? Right. So let’s get this out of the way right off the bat. I know that tomato jam may sound a bit, well… off. Stick with me, though!…
Buffalo Blue Tots
You know that little local drive-thru only burger and tots joint that you find yourself craving on a Monday… only to remember that this little gem is only open on every 3rd Thursday of every other month?! Those crispy, perfect tots can now be yours anytime– at home! BUT WAIT! We can’t just do…
Cheese Fritters with Sweet Honey Mustard Sauce
Fried. Cheese. Need I say more? I considered posting nothing more than those first two words. I can’t imagine anything else that I could say that would make them sound any better.
