Concoctions from the kitchen of a Mississippi writer.
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)
It’s not what you’d call gourmet. It’s definitely not really pretty.  This is more along the lines of a classic Mom meal, ranking up there with tuna casserole and spaghetti. Easy and basic, this classic was introduced by Bisqu (read full article)
Our grocery store’s freezer section is full of these frozen convenience meals. I love the ideas of these because they’re so EASY and when I don’t feel much like cooking they’re something my husband can cook. But, let’ (read full article)
I admit it. I’m a sucker for trying out new and random spice blends. Always on the hunt for a new flavor. I found this mapuche spice by Merken at a local closeout store. According to the site “Merken since centuries, has been the C (read full article)
This is a favorite Friday night dish in our house. It’s probably technically like 4 servings but this is us, so really it’s 2. We aren’t gonna talk about the fat and calories. Just trust that it’s less with the low fat s (read full article)
These are the Best Burgers You Will Ever Eat. Yes, I said it. And I stand by it. These are amazing. At 675 calories and 40 grams of fat per burger, these aren’t too bad. Yes, 40 grams of fat isn’t GOOD, but it’s a burger. (read full article)
I was in the mood for some variation of a beef stew, and this totally fit the bill. It was easy, filling and with four servings at 292 calories and 6.5 grams of fat, very healthy. I served it with herb and cheddar beer bread muffins. Ingred (read full article)
I love mac and cheese. There’s little that says comfort food better than a casserole dish of warm, bubbly, cheesy pasta goodness. But my usual version is time consuming and not something I can usually manage as a weeknight dinner when I wal (read full article)
On my recent trip to Kansas City, my pal Christine introduced me to Penzey’s Spices. It was love at first sniff. An entire store devoted to spices. Ugh. Heaven. One of my acquisitions on this trip was Adobo Spice. Now this is not re (read full article)
Adapted from the Jan/Feb. issue of Simple and Delicious, these cheeseburger rollups are lightened up from the inspiration recipe (which include bacon). They’re a kid and man friendly recipe. The method could undoubtedly be used with all sor (read full article)
Part of my New Year’s Resolutions this year is to actually start actively cooking from the myriad of cooking magazines and cookbooks I own. This will necessitate some advance menu planning to make sure I have the necessary ingredients (which (read full article)
I know I made a beef barley porcini soup recently (and it was lovely), but hubby and I were in the mood for something light and savory (that didn’t necessitate the 800th run to the grocery store). This more classic beef barley soup was exactl (read full article)
A cold front is passing through and that’s got me craving soup. Because we are in an anti poultry mood post Thanksgiving, I opted for a beef based soup. Ordinarily I would use beef stock for this soup, but as I was out and I really hate coo (read full article)
We went camping over the weekend. We were supposed to have campfire burgers Friday night but wound up getting off so late that we just picked up fast food on the way down to Desoto State Park, which meant that when we got home, we had that pound of (read full article)
How happy am I that fall seems to have finally arrived, and with it weather conducive to all the soups and stews I love to make? After the weekend’s excesses (can we say Halloween candy, roasted marshmallows, and more hot dogs than I care to (read full article)
I promised I’d be back this week with something awesome and if the fact that my husband and I just both had seconds and polished off a meal intended for four, this recipe delivers. We absolutely destroyed this dish. It’s full of class (read full article)
I was in the mood for a little tex mex the other night, and quesedillas fit the bill. I wanted something a little heartier for my carnivore husband than my favored veggie ones, so we went with steak. After last week’s casserole mishap, it w (read full article)
I’m feeling kind of lousy today. Since no diet on earth allows my mama’s chicken and dumplins (my preferred comfort food), I had to come up with some other form of soup for comfort food. Yeah it’s August, but sick or feeling lou (read full article)
We got in late last night, so I needed something fast and easy for dinner, preferably something that didn’t heat up the kitchen. Kebabs fit the bill. This is a favorite of my husband’s, particularly when I don’t load it up with (read full article)
