One of the benefits (and sometimes downfalls) of living in the South is a longer-than-expected Summer weather. This of course invites a longer-than-average grilling season. We typically don’t mind this part, though we’d appreciate a little fall weather to back up what the calendar is telling us. Thankfully the forecast is hinting we might be…
Month: September 2019
Fallelujah!
It’s officially fall (unofficially here in Texas where temps are still resting in the 90s) and it seems as if overnight, everyone has switched over from Summer vibes to Fall feelings! Pumpkin Spice… everything is out, Hallmark is gearing up for their scheduled run of original Christmas movies, and funky-looking squash can be found in…
Cheese & Peppers!
Years ago, early in our marriage, I made a largely Americanized version of Chile Rellenos. It was in casserole form from my Bridal Edition of Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook that we had received upon our marriage. I distinctly recall it being such a hit with my husband (and a milder version for a family…
Happy as a Clam at High Tide!
We didn’t eat (or cook with, for that matter) many fresh mollusks growing up. My education in this type of seafood was thus rather delayed. One of the things I love about my husband is that he allows me to be adventurous in this area. Honestly, if I say I feel like driving out to…
The Old Magoo
– Say, look, you had steak again yesterday, didn’t you?– And today, chicken Maryland.– Oh, brother.– How do you work it?– You gotta use the old magoo, Jeff.– That’s all. The old magoo.– The old magoo. Some of you may recognize this quote from ‘Christmas in Connecticut.’ If you don’t, stop what you’re doing right…
Falling for Quick Breads
There are many aspects of Fall that I welcome and delight in. Among a few things, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, cooler weather, and hefty loaves of quick breads. The last one is not only so versatile, but also so soul-soothing and easy for chillier mornings. All the quick breads are generally the same. Everyone knows pumpkin…
Oh So Saucy!
This meal came together very fortuitously this weekend. Pork spareribs were on special at just the right time a sweet friend from church had recently gone through a procedure. With a brood of three boys, a baby, and a husband to look after; the church hospitality ministry stepped in to provide meals to help and…
Dinnerly Saga, Pt 3
Finally! I bring the final review of the Dinnerly meal kit. The onslaught of August’s wall-to-wall, packed schedule of events has passed and I am seeing the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. And hopefully now I’ll have more time for writing… Hopefully. The final meal in our recent Dinnerly meal-kit delivery box…
