This month I have two selections from Hugh Acheson’s cookbook, A New Turn in the South: Southern Flavors Reinvented for Your Kitchen (affiliate code) – Grilled Fish with Hot Sauce Buerre Blanc and Saffron Braised Celery.

So much for Cookbook Week being only one week. Between Spring Break and more cookbooks arriving at my door, I didn’t have a chance to get to more than last week’s Food: Vegetarian Home Cooking and Homemade with Love reviews. My apologies!

Even though my mom’s an incredible cook, she rarely made homemade mashed potatoes since my dad was a baked potato sort of guy. Instead, it was my husband who showed me how to make homemade mashed potatoes, since we both loved having bangers and mash at home. Over time I’ve developed a few time saving, [...]

Here’s how I usually make roasted vegetables – combine root veggies, olive oil, salt and pepper and some seasonings and cook until done. Since we were having company last week, I wanted to try something new and this recipe from Mizkan caught my eye. I’ve had much experience marinating meats, but have never tried it [...]

I wanted to make a Southern style Thanksgiving this year, so of course collard greens had to be part of the meal. While it’s a great dish for holiday meals, you can make collard greens any time of year, from fancy sit down dinners to backyard barbeque parties. Usually, collard greens are made with a [...]
