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
Sides / Appetizers
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…
Garlic Sautéed Skillet Zucchini
SO… I realize I’ve been on a major sugar kick recently. I’ve had a few people ask me…”Do you post regular food on your blog, too?”. I’ll do my best to ignore that fact that sugar and butter are as naturally enjoyable as can be, and give it a go. You can cook healthy food…
{Crispy} Sweet Potato Fries
There isn’t anything that I despise more than a floppy, bland french fry. Well… maybe not having any french fries. But, anyway… Anyone that knows me knows that I am a french fry addict. I’m talkin’ round up all the family and friends, drag me into a surprise intervention and then ship me off to a…
Grilled Herb Butter Corn
STOP. It’s grillin’ time! There really isn’t anything better than going to your local Farmer’s Market and stocking up on fresh veggies for the week. I am lucky enough to have the Farmer’s Market here in Nashville show up right on campus every Thursday during peak season. I walk out at the end up the…
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…
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…
Best {burger} Buns in Town
I’m just gonna say it. I have the BEST buns in all of Nashville! Golden sun-kissed in color, firm to the touch, soft when squeezed juuuust right. YES! Yes, yes! The BEST burger buns in town, I tell ya! This recipe is a staple in my kitchen, making it’s way onto just about…
