Concoctions from the kitchen of a Mississippi writer.
I’ve been on a kick lately of substituting Greek yogurt for sour cream. One of my favorite sides, that I usually only make for holidays, is corn casserole. It’s not what you’d call light, but it’s OMG so good. The Greek (read full article)
As one of my fridge clean out “Must Use” ingredients, I had a ball of fresh mozzarella pearls. I wasn’t really in the mood for caprese salad, which was actually what I’d bought it for before it got lost in the bowels of the (read full article)
I made stroganoff the other day and there were leftovers, but not quite enough for two. So my response was to make enough egg noodles for both of us, and whip of a saute of summer veggies to throw over mine. It was a quick, tasty use of assorted (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)
After the peach and red pepper salsa I made last week, my daily grilled cheese at lunch seemed positively naked with nothing else on it. So this week I went a bit more tropical and made up a version with mango. I have always adored mango salsa, e (read full article)
Feeling repentant for weekend excesses? I know I am. (We aren’t going to talk about the love affair I had with the guacamole dip and chips at a party we went to the other night) Getting back on the bandwagon is hard when you’re maki (read full article)
I have been turned into fodder for a Nyquil commercial this week, so I’ve been living on plain white rice, boxed mac and cheese, and subpar canned chicken noodle soup. :shudder: Yeah, even when I’m sick and can’t hardly taste a (read full article)
I’ve been eating fairly heavily lately, so I was craving something veggie-laden and healthy. My usual tomato soup wasn’t quite what I was in the mood for, so I opted for a roasted vegetable soup. It’s loaded with different veggi (read full article)
I have never made my own pasta before. Well, unless you count the dumplings in chicken and dumplings. Or the wrappers for chinese dumplings. I don’t. Anyway, gnocchi is one of those things I’ve eaten and loved in Italian restauran (read full article)
This is an oldie but goodie here at Pots and Plots. It’s one of my favorite winter soups and was one of the first recipes I posted–back before I put in pictures, nutritional info and the like. I haven’t actually made it in quite (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’ve been on the search for a new veggie soup that’s not my usual tomato or roasted red pepper. Butternut squash seemed to be the ticket. I keep trying to find a way to eat it that I like (as my butternut squash oven fries didn’ (read full article)
I know, I know. I’ve been on a major soup kick. But it’s really flipping cold here in Mississippi (I’m not sure it’s topped 30 this week as a high and lows have been in the teens), and cold makes me want soup. In an effo (read full article)
A couple of months ago–maybe longer now–The Pioneer Woman posted a recipe for sesame noodles over at her blog. The moment I laid eyes on the recipe I knew I absolutely HAD to try it. So I bookmarked it and it sat for a while. Then o (read full article)
After returning home from Oktoberfest and lots of overeating and not healthy food, I’m ready to reset my body with healthy food. I just can’t take the greasy, fast food and gas station snacks that are part and parcel of road trips. On (read full article)
I have no idea why I’ve been craving French onion soup lately. Usually I think of it as a winter food and right now it’s so humid out, it ’s like walking around draped in a wet blanket. But I made up a batch anyway, taking advan (read full article)
Yes, I know, tarts seem to be the only thing I ever make with puff pastry. Sue me. But this time I put a savory twist on things and made an appetizer using some fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden to make this fabulous appetizer. I really wan (read full article)
I found this recipe an one of my Taste of Home email newsletters. It was a contest winner from some contest they had, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to make it. The only concession I made to my onion-phobic hubby was to leave the red onion (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)
I’m in the midst of computer crisis, so I am amazed I remembered that I hadn’t scheduled this post. This soup about matches my temper regarding the morally-repugnant sociopath who’s out there sending viruses to responsible, comput (read full article)
