As if bacon were not already one of the most wonderful foods on the planet, eating it grilled just takes it to a whole new level. It has that smokey, chargrilled flavor of the grill … Continue reading
I love loaded potato skins. The combo of cheese, bacon, and potato is one that really can’t be beat. These are a classic, American appetizer enjoyed at bars and burger joints everywhere. Sadly, I usually refrain from eating them because, let’s face it, they’re not exactly a paragon of healthiness. However, on a … Continue reading
Ah, sloppy joe. The cafeteria’s finest delicacy, next to crispitos and rectangular pizza. Seriously, have you ever had a lunchroom crispito? It’s a deep-fried burrito covered in cheese sauce. They are now banned from lunchrooms because they were the primary cause of the obesity epidemic…but dang were they good. Anyways, the point is that the … Continue reading
Last night we had a little dinner party at our house. I served Skinny Lasagna Alfredo and this broccoli salad. I’ve had many different types of broccoli salad, but I gotta say, this one is my all time favorite. Next time you want to make a salad, but you don’t want to do the same boring … Continue reading
I love casseroles. I love them because they are easy, they are usually delicious, and they stand alone. Every true Southern belle has had her share of casseroles at church potluck dinners, and I’ve never heard anyone complain about it. I think casseroles are the perfect “make for someone” dish. Whether someone had … Continue reading
I love pork chops. Know what I love even more than plain pork chops? Pork chops that only need 2 additional ingredients and 20 minutes in the oven to become a delicious entree. Boom. Mission accomplished. So yeah, I don’t think you can ask for much more than this. I mean, this dish … Continue reading
I’m gonna level with you, readers…I love feta cheese. You can put that white gold on pretty much anything and I would enjoy it. So naturally, Greek foods and I usually get along well primarily because of that delicious crumbled cheese. This Greek Chicken is no different. It’s a great recipe and all, but man, … Continue reading
It’s Saturday so you know what that means! Gameday! Today my Auburn Tigers take on the #2 ranked LSU Tigers. It’s probably going to be a bloodbath. Don’t get me wrong, I will certainly cheer Auburn on with all the delusional hope in the world that we can pull of a miracle…but…honestly we’re probably going … Continue reading
Ok so I know the title is long, but I don’t really know what else to call it! This dish is a very tasty tasty and a bit out-of-the-box. I didn’t really know what to expect from it, especially because it called for “eye of round steak” which I’d never had before. But I knew … Continue reading
Just yesterday, someone commented on my post, Garlicky Baked Shrimp, and asked if it would be good with parmesan cheese in the breading mixture. She apparently was reading my mind about what I was going to post today! The Garlicky Baked Shrimp post has gotten a lot of attention. It went kinda viral on … Continue reading
Isn’t panko just the best? I use those little Japanese crumbs all the time. They’re just so crunchy and versatile! And to think, if you were to ask me a year ago what Panko was, I’d probably have guessed it was a board game. This dish is another one you can put on the … Continue reading
I can’t say the name of this dish without giggling. Baked Chicken Poupon. hehehe poupon. My husband would keep asking me, “what are we having for dinner again?…oh yeah chicken POUPON!” We are such children. We can’t even say the word “duty” without giggling. And you wouldn’t know it, but I actually just giggled when … Continue reading
Here in Alabama, the weather is finally starting to turn fall-ish. Now around here, that is not synonymous with “cold”. It just means “cooler than the burning blazes of summer” and “it’s a little chilly in the morning and at night.” Right now it’s still getting up to the mid 80’s at midday. BUT there’s … Continue reading
It’s Saturday, so you know what that means….Gameday! So, naturally, as with the past two gamedays, today’s recipe is of the “tailgate” variety. Before I go on though, I must confess, that I did not make these. My fabulous mother was the cook responsible for such deliciousness! These are actually from last week’s … Continue reading
Normally, when I see recipes that say “only 4 ingredients!” I’m pretty skeptical about how it will taste. I mean, cooking with few ingredients is nice and easy, but usually lacks flavor or interest. So naturally I thought that this recipe would be one of those dishes. But, since the picture looked really good and … Continue reading
