Vegetable
Southern Creamed Spinach
I’m going to share my favorite way to eat all of my veggies with you all. A pretty simple, but insanely comforting side dish that goes with just about everything. Southern-style Creamed Spinach is where it’s at.
Cajun Fried Okra
Okra, okra, okra, okraaaaa! I think if I were to go to prison for some food crime (like hating rhubarb, probably), fried okra would be part of my last meal. Growing up, I preferred this stuff over McD’s fries any day. Turns out, nothing has really changed with regard to that. Since we are all…
Mini Carrot Cake Doughnuts
Miniature desserts are just the best. Betchya can’t eat just one? Bet you’re right! Because, why would you? When they are small it’s perfectly acceptable to eat 3… or 4… or 10. Mini Carrot Cake Doughnuts with Cream Cheese Glaze & Toasted Sweetened Coconut.
Sweet Potato Pulled Pork Waffles
Belgian waffles, chicken & waffles (my personal favorite), waffle cones… Everyone loves something that is waffled. You wouldn’t believe the number of different foods you can throw into the middle of a waffle iron and result in a crispy, textured delight. Sweet Potato Pulled Pork Waffles are the latest successful result of our…
Salt Crusted Baked Potatoes
Lots of restaurants lure you in with those deliciously crispy baked potatoes. Maybe it’s just my crazy need to over-salt everything that I eat. Maybe the fact that I know once I get into the chamber, I am presented with a carb-filled gift from the gods. Either way, these things are absolutely fantastic! Keep…
Broccoli Casserole from Scratch
It’s freezing outside! Like… don’t stick your tongue to the pole kinda freezing. There is really only one way to solve that: casseroles. Casseroles are to the South like lettuce and hot yoga is to California. I’m going to show you my favorite simple, cheesy Broccoli Casserole recipe.
Spicy Potato Soft Tacos
Tacos are a staple in my house on nights when I come home late and don’t feel like making anything with much effort. In all honesty, I bet I end up making some taco variation on a weekly basis. Have some extra chicken? Taco it. A bit of ground beef? Taco it. Until now, I…
Brown Butter Butternut Cream Pasta
It’s almost that time, y’all! Start putting together your Halloween costumes, mull the cider, spice up your lattes. The chlorophyll is breaking down in the leaves </nerd>… Fall is just around the corner! While I do enjoy the summer heat (for all of about 2 weeks at the beach if we are honest here), the crisp breeze around…
Southern Fried Okra
A prerequisite to being branded as a true Southerner is learning to properly fry. Not just anything counts. It has to be something that is on the official list of true Southern staples. The top of this list, next to fried catfish and the best chicken you will ever have, is Southern Fried Okra. …
