Slow Roasted Pork Recipe – 1 Roast, 3 ways

September 28, 2012

This post will be painfully without pictures since I already made this recipe earlier this week (and am now using up the rest for a different dinner tonight).  SO Sorry for that!  Just trust me that these slow-roasted pork tacos are the bomb! After we lost Fisher in March, my friend Laura brought us these [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Black-Eyed Pea Stew…and it’s WAY better than it sounds!

November 5, 2011

I must confess that headed into this recipe I was skeptical.  I’m a good Southern girl, but that doesn’t mean that I have a burning passion for things like black eyed peas and collards that I want to tell the world about.  In fact, memories of every single New Year’s Day growing up still make [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Chicken Tagine with Lemon and Olives

September 15, 2011

Last night I made this amazing recipe for dinner.  It’s easy, ridiculously flavorful, and was a HUGE hit with my entire family.  Both of my kids ate seconds.  It makes your house smell unbelievably yummy too.  Don’t fret if you don’t like olives…I know they tend to be higher on the “not such a fan [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Bowtie Pasta with Eggplant, Caramelized Onions, and Pine Nuts

August 8, 2011

I’ve had access to my fabulous neighbor’s vegetable garden this summer and because of that, I’ve had more occasions to try new recipes with uber-fresh ingredients just a short walk away. I’ve never been someone who is bowled over by eggplant…I guess I’ve just never met the perfect way to cook it…until now. I tried [...]

What’s For Dinner?! Fig and Sausage Pizza OR Salad!

August 3, 2011

I posted this recipe awhile back, but honestly til now it wasn’t the best time to make it.  Right now though, fresh figs are in season in the south and whether you have a neighbor like I do who’ll let you come pick them off of her tree, or you have to buy them at [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Coriander Crusted Salmon

July 15, 2011

Salmon was the first seafood that I ever liked…followed by popcorn shrimp, and eventually tuna and other fish, scallops, etc. About the only seafood that I can’t find myself in a love affair with is oysters…and I’m ok with that. For some reason though, I haven’t loved salmon so much over the past few years, [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Fish Tacos

July 11, 2011

When I was at the beach last week, my aunt made the most delish fish tacos and I loved them so much that I made them as soon as I got home.  I have a great fish taco recipe that I made up, but I have to say, I loved these even better…and they’re easier.  [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Fall-off-the-Bone Baby Back Ribs…

May 29, 2011

image source I don’t know what it is about Memorial Day weekend that gets me in the mood to grill, but yesterday when I made my trip to Sam’s Club and saw Smithfield baby back ribs for $2.99/lb, I couldn’t resist.  It’s been a little while since I’ve given you a recipe anyhow, and I [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Ginger Lime Flank Steak

May 6, 2011

This has to be one of my favorite things to make…particularly in the summer when pretty much everything is itching to be thrown on the grill. It’s easy, can for the most part be done ahead, and the clean-up is a cinch!  I’m sure there are other great marinades out there, and I have a [...]

What’s for Dinner?! Loaded Quiche!

April 14, 2011

For the longest time my husband refused to eat quiche.  He said it was a girly food…like the cucumber sandwich and strawberry soup kind of girly food.  I’ve always loved it, so I set out to find a really good basic quiche recipe and make it better.  And since then in our house, quiche has [...]
