Concoctions from the kitchen of a Mississippi writer.
We went to a party this weekend and as I didn’t have what was required for my usual 7 layer dip, I had to come up with something else. What I arrived at was an adaptation of this recipe from Tasty Kitchen. The end results were delicious, li (read full article)
After last week’s meh Mexican spoon bread, I opted to try a jazzed up version of my mother’s Mexican cornbread. Since we were taking it to a party, I thought muffins would be best (and it fits with my obsession for mini these days). R (read full article)
I have no idea why I’m so into the mini versions of stuff this week I was really enamored after buying the new mini muffin pan, I guess. In any event, I had a package of sweet peppers in the fridge, plus a few from the garden that were clos (read full article)
The inspiration for this recipe hails from the April 2010 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray (pg. 83). I offer this up as a homemade alternative to stuff like Totinos pizza roles. They’re fresh, light, easy as can be, and a WHOLE lot health (read full article)

I’ve gotten into veggie trays and veggie dips lately. It’s become my go to thing to take to get togethers so that I am assured there is at least ONE healthy thing there. After the last one, the celery and carrots were decimated, but I (read full article)
One of my contributions to last week’s Super Bowl party was a giant batch of hummus and pita chips. It was my goal to offer a healthier alternative to the other dishes available. I knew I’d eat the junky stuff, but maybe less of it. (read full article)
I studied abroad in Paris when I was in college, which was a phenomenal experience on so many levels. The food was amazing. One of the daily eats I got hooked on while I lived there was Boursin garlic and herb cheese spread, which I was ecstatic to (read full article)
I’m headed to a little work/party tonight and thought I’d throw together some stuffed mushrooms. As the hosts are providing dinner (something Mexican), I thought I’d add a little zing to these with some Mexican flavors. If my ci (read full article)
