Stuffed bell peppers are my idea of a Sunday supper. Add braised spring Vidalia onions that are smothered in cream and well…………I just want Sundays to come more often than once a week. Having finally made my way to the Charleston Farmer’s Market this season, I had to come home with an armful of bright [...]
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? [...]

This is [...]
My style is to tell a story eventually weaving it into a recipe or two. But today, I am breaking tradition and getting to the point right away. The featured chicken leg swimming in sweet butter in today’s post is gone. No it did not drown, even though it appears to be drowning in butter. [...]
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 [...]
