I triple-dog dare you to find a summer salad more refreshing than this sweet and savory watermelon salad. Do you know you can turn a sweet fruit into savory by adding just a little salt and acid? Throw some leaves at it, and you’ve got yourself a savory summer salad! Speaking of summer, is hotter …
I’ve got strawberry fever and the cure is to put them in EVERYTHING! This fruit-infused tea is a refreshing and summery Memorial Day treat well worth the 24 hour wait! Cold-brewed fruit-infused tea is great for using up all the weird tea left behind by our visiting parents. They buy different tea each visit yet never drink it because they …
It’s strawberry season in Tennessee, and to commemorate the once a year red-all-the-way-through-the-berry-strawberries, I thought I’d bake and post a recipe for shortcake.
On a whim, I picked up a magazine in the grocery check-out lane just because the beautiful cover photo caught my eye. Little did I know, the entire magazine was basically an ad for King Arthur Flour. On the one hand, it was kind of nice, as there were no other ads for anything, but on …
I’ve written it before and I’ll write it again, my favorite Mexican restaurant in Nashville is Mas Tacos Por Favor. I bucked up last week and waited 30 minutes in the roast pork scented lunch line (worth it) for my carnitas tacos and tortilla soup and found them serving up a special summer treat: watermelon agua fresca. …
It’s my first mother’s day tomorrow and I’m psyched! Psyched for promised pancakes to be made my husband, psyched to go to my good friend’s house for homemade pizza, and psyched for my little guy finally feeling good after being sick for a week. I was ill-prepared for how gut wrenching it would be to …
Ok, so cranberry sauce… Growing up, I never touched it, as it was totally just some wobbly jello-y looking thing that slithered out of a can. I didn’t bother with it because it took up valuable real estate that could be used for more stuffing on my Thanksgiving plate. I recently found this recipe on-line for the …
Peaches are now über ripe so what else is there to do other than make peach pie, right? I’m on a pie roll and I can’t quite stop. I spent a little tutelage time last week at the Pie Master’s house, and we tried out four different pie doughs! Oil and flour, lard and flour, …
This recipe is inspired by my six-year-old nephew, Matthew. Last week Matthew and I were enjoying my sister’s homemade waffles for breakfast, with fresh strawberry slices on the side. He proceeded to show me how dipping your fresh strawberries in syrup made them taste better. Duh! All my life I’ve never thought to put maple syrup on berries. …
Last month Bon Appétit didn’t have a recipe on the cover (harrumph!). Their May travel issue pictured some beautiful waiter from another country. But this month, June, it’s a beautiful-looking cherry pie. (Cue the horrible Warrant song, as it’s been running through my head ALL AFTERNOON.) I really am not a hot fruit type of person. …
