Though I never knew the name Country Captain, it appears this dish holds a special place in my heart. It is a tradition in our home that whenever a birthday is celebrated you get to choose what you would like to do for dinner. My favorite dish growing up, the dish I chose for my [...]
First I loose the photos of the Salmon Croquettes. Then I find the missing CD with the images. Then I finish my post; upload the not so good Salmon images (you try to take good photos while people are grabbing the plate from your hand, not so easy). Then I finish the post minus the [...]
Realising that I am rushing the corn season, I still went ahead and made this Corn Pudding. It is known as a true Southern delicacy, and I can see why. Our local corn won’t be at the market till the middle of June, but the corn from Florida looked good and how could I resist? [...]
When I think of Summertime desserts, the first thing that comes to mind is a Cobbler. I grew up eating Cobblers, though the version I am used to is different than the Southern version. To me the difference is not so much in the way the fruit is prepared, but in the way the top [...]

A cool windy spring day is the quintessential accompaniment to these Small Cakes along with a cup of hot tea or coffee. I have had my eye on these cakes for quite some time now, and only yesterday decided to make them at the spur of the moment. My house was filled with the warm [...]
Asparagus are in abundance now. I am grateful for this. They are on the top of the vegetable list for me. Not being able to wait till Sunday to sample the asparagus I purchased from the farmers market. I quickly sauteed a few stalks trimmed of their tough ends having cut them into two inch [...]
Tomato- Basil Soup served with a good Southern cornmeal muffin was the makings of an early Monday dinner, just in time for basketball. Tomato soup is a close cousin to ketchup in my husband’s mind. He was in the mood for his favorite soup as he was feeling a little under the weather from a [...]
