There’s kind of a buzz about “Elotes” or Mexican Street Corn these days. Especially in light ofthe food-truck craze…you’re likely to see this dish at swanky food stands. It’s the perfecthandheld snack, packed with flavor. It has a delicious crunch and the perfect mix of sweet,savory, and smoky.This recipe hits all those notes, but in […]
Honey-Vanilla Fruit Salad
One thing I’m always doing is thinking about food (insert laughing emoji) ….honestly, I think about dinner while I’m eating lunch and I’m dreaming about my morning coffee as I’m washing the dinner dishes. Food is delicious. I love imagining the ways I can combine fresh ingredients to make something amazing. Sometimes it’s time-consuming and […]
Pork Belly Sliders
It’s BBQ season! That term has multiple meanings for me because not only am I excited about some deck time with my family, cooking some amazing things on the grill – but, this weekend Robert and I head out for our first KCBS BBQ competition of the year. We’ve been cooking BBQ competitively since 2017 […]
Cacio e Pepe Pasta Salad
Cacio e Pepe is an Italian pasta dish that is becoming increasingly popular in America. Hailing from Rome, it’s really a very simple recipe. Pasta, romano cheese and pepper – that’s it. In fact “Cacio e Pepe” gracefully translates to “cheese and pepper”. Creamy, salty and peppery, it has just the right balance of flavors […]
Raspberry Pie Cookies

But, put them in a social setting with a homemade treat versus a beautifully packaged piece of junk food and […]
Savory Rustic Tart
My love for Mississippi is real, but new. My roots are deep in the foothills of the Appalachians – specifically Greenville and Pickens County, South Carolina. Many childhood Saturdays I found my own declination drifting north into the Appalachian peaks straddling the South and North Carolina State Lines. We casually learned map reading and plant […]
Quiche Lorraine
Holding their spot on brunch menus everywhere, quiche is a classic. Back in my Memphis days, I would always order the quiche from La Baguette. Now that I’m a Mississippian, the generous slices from Coffee Central in Hernando are my absolute favorite. Versatile as they may be, quiches are an exercise in patience and thoughtfulness. […]
Cuban Sandwich Sliders
Doesn’t everyone have a favorite movie – one that you can watch over and over and not get tired of it. In my house, it’s “Chef”. Jon Favreau plays a burned out chef who rediscovers his passion for cooking and his relationship with his son by opening a food truck and touring with it from […]
Easy Lemon-Pepper Chicken
In the dog days of summer, people tend to grill out so they don’t heat up the kitchen with the oven or stove. But in this crazy heat wave of 100+ temperatures in 2022 where everyone has air conditioning, I’d say stay inside and make something amazing. This week I’ve got a great recipe to […]
