Spicy Pimento Cheese
I was born and raised in the South and I love being southern. It's such a charming culture full of hot summer breezes, screen doors, grandma's cooking and a pitcher of sweet tea. Whenever I start cooking those traditionally southern dishes, I just can't help but think of my childhood that consisted mostly of climbing trees, playing in the creek and hanging out laundry. Now ...

Chipotle Roast Beef Wrap
) The small catering business that I ran up until the beginning of this year seems like a million years ago now. All of those early mornings and long days and nights toiling away in the kitchen to get ready for some breakfast or lunch or dinner the next day were a lot of hard work. I prided myself on making anything that I could from scratch. I made my own bread, dressings, ...

Sloppy Meatball Joes
I firmly believe that the powers-that-be gave me my daughter so that I would be forced to constantly be creative (He gave me my son to force me to be patient). My young, vivacious look-a-like has some very particular ways of doing things. Ponytails are acceptable, but braids are not. Books are fun but not if Mom picks them out (she will not read A Little Princess no matter how ...
Baked Italian Sandwich
The amount of meals that we now eat somewhere other than our own house has at least doubled in the last month or so. Not only are we eating lunch like most people who work outside of the home (at our desk or otherwise) but the beautiful weather has made for a few very good excuses to soak up some sunshine while holding lunch in our lap. You won’t hear many complaints from me ...
Stuffed Flatbreads
A few months ago we were swimming in little puppies. A gift from a stray who wandered up to the house, the seven adorable spotted noses running around our carport pretty much consumed our life. Every morning we were greeted by tiny little canine barks and growls and little puppy paws chasing the laces of our shoes. Any walk outside became an obstacle course of puppy tails under ...
Mini Chicken Gyros
My first encounter with Greek food was in Chicago during a trip that seems like forever ago now. My friend, Renee, had been living there for a few years and I flew my pregnant self to Chicago for a “last-hoorah” kind of girls’ weekend. We went all over the place, but my favorite place was this little Greek restaurant around the corner from her apartment. We dodged angry drivers ...

Rosemary Garlic Foccacia Bread
Life without bread would be dismal. Even those who are allergic to gluten find ways to have bread. And ask anydieter and you will find that they crave bread. Bread is just so delicious, so satisfying. Adding garlic, herbs, and olive oil to bread sends it into another realm entirely. When the heat hits those aromatics your entire house fills with the intoxicating smells of yeast ...

Corn and Potato Chowder with Bacon Grilled Cheese

So I took the challenge to make a delicious soup worthy of Gourmet for Less. Of course the one thing that goes with soup is a sandwich so I had to make a sandwich too! And of course everything is ...
Italian Sausages – ‘Cause I like ’em!
Don't you just love sausages? I mean, when was the last time someone offered you a sausage and you said "no"? I can't think of any time. Ever. The problem with sausages, especially Italian sausages and even more especially, really good Italian sausages, is that they are not exactly budget friendly. They are not outrageous by any means, but I find it a little difficult to ...
