There is some debate on who exactly invented the "deviled egg". It could be anyone from Ancient Romans, to medieval merchants, to Jacques Pepin's mother. Either way there is no denying that everyone loves a deviled egg. I remember as a child that I had to restrain my self from eating all of them, because my mother had made enough for everyone to have 2 a piece. There were never ...

Bacon Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs
There are three things that you will always find in my fridge; cheese, bacon and eggs. Especially eggs. My genius idea of having a flock of 17 hens means that there are no less than 8 dozen eggs in our fridge at this moment. I can’t eat them or give them away fast enough. I make quiche and crepes and pancakes constantly, anything that I can find to put a few eggs into. We have ...
Muffin Tin Eggs Sardou with Quick Hollandaise
The Big Easy is known the world over as a city full of music, culture and booze. But even more than the party-all-day persona, New Orleans is loved for its food. In our distant past, my husband and I made a few vacations down to NOLA to test-drive our new love (and our livers) in the city that never seems to sleep and while we had more than I fair share of Sazeracs and ...
Spicy Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs
Spicy Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs are a fun a different way to enjoy this Southern side dish! The filling makes a killer sandwich too! Nothing says “Easter” like an egg. I can’t seem to remember a single Easter without one. I can vividly remember sitting at my great-grandmother’s red kitchen table, intently focused on dying the perfect egg. We had looked at pictures of ...
Horseradish Dill Deviled Eggs
A few weeks ago I was looking back through some old posts and came across one about what I hoped to have one day (and stuffed artichokes which by the way are delicious and I should totally make this again soon). The very first line of that post is: "My dream is to one day move out of suburbia and back into the country. I would like to have a few acres of land for the kids ...
Chocolate Chip Walnut Cinnamon Rolls
The cinnamon roll you want on Christmas morning or any morning. From scratch, sweet and comforting, these Chocolate Chip Walnut Cinnamon Rolls are perfect. Make them the night before to make your morning even easier. The holiday season can be tough for anyone. It's 4 weeks of crazy with a bunch of family and wrapping paper involved.

Cranberry Orange Bread
Cranberry Orange Bread is a easy, festive quick bread that is a great addition to any holiday table. Baking is one of those things that I love to do, but don't actually practice very often. Much like baking cookies and pies, bread in general is not something I need to have lying around the house. But this is the holiday season where the gloves are off on the stretchy ...
Fried Grit Cakes
Fried Grit Cakes are a delicious way to serve up cheesy grits and are delicious covered in marinara sauce and a little Parmesan cheese. Fried grit cakes are ubiquitous in the South. They are a natural progression of cheese grits for dinner to leftover cheese grits for dinner again. That's because whenever you make grits, two things are bound to happen; 1 - you will make way ...
Easy Pumpkin Pie Pancakes
These pumpkin pancakes are perfect for the season. They taste a lot like pumpkin pie which is an endearing quality in any breakfast item. A few walnuts on top add just the right amount of crunch. Give them a whirl on your next lazy morning. Pancakes are second only to waffles in our house, and I don't drag out the waffle iron very often ( and who does, ...
Holiday Butter Cookies
My children, like many of today’s children, are spoiled rotten. It’s a plague throughout our society in which many children are flooded with anything that their little minds can dream up without having to work very hard to get it. My husband and I fight this fight every day and it is especially hard this time of year, where my children’s birthday and the onslaught of ...
10 Make Ahead Sandwiches for Your Lunchbox
Here in the South we start back to school at the beginning of August. Why? I guess because its too dang hot to be outside, so you might as well send the kids on back to school. But, back to school means back to early mornings and packing lunches and not just for the kiddos but for the adults, too. When it comes to packing the adult (or very open-minded teen) lunch box, a ...
Southern Woodford Pudding
My grandmother grew up in the backwoods of Tennessee as a farmer's daughter. Her family worked hard for what little they could earn and made the most of what they had. She's told me stories of growing up way out in the "sticks" and the times she had. She has shared some of her recipes with me and given me her wisdom on canning and "putting up". Not to mention, I spent the ...
Traditional Southern Easter Dinner
When it comes to Easter in the South, we southerners like to pull out all of the stops. Just as big and carb-loaded as Christmas or Thanksgiving, but with a more of a nod to the Spring season, a Southern Easter dinner is something to look forward to. Here's a list of what you can find on our Easter table pretty much every year. What are your favorite Easter dishes? Easter ...

Low Carb Spinach Feta Greek Pie
Being low-carb while the rest of your family isn't can be...trying. It takes some fortitude to resist the pretty much constant temptation to eat all of the carby things. It also takes planning. As with any "diet", failing to plan = setting yourself up for failure. That's why I try my best to keep easy to eat things stocked in my fridge. Things like this Low Carb Spinach and ...
