Grits are fabulous, and for those that think otherwise-this dish is for you. This is the turn-a- round dish that will convert even the most ardent grit detester. Yes, there are a few of those around much to my dismay.
But really, how could anyone protest when eating a light fluffy moist dish-loaded with aged cheddar, [...]
A year ago, one of my goals was to sample a host of Shrimp and Grits meals in Charleston. This is a task that I have flat out failed at. In my defense, part of the blame is due to shrimp. I love them, but they don’t always love me. A huge belly ache and [...]
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 [...]
Macaron mania is sweeping the world and for me to escape getting caught up in it was impossible. For one, the most talented Macaroness lives in my home town Charleston-Tartelette. The second reason is that they are just a little bite of heaven, no matter what the flavor. And thirdly, they hook you.

It would ruin the fun if I gave away the surprise as to what I am up to this week. But in preparation I am going to try making Shrimp and Grits at home and this is the recipe that I will give my hand to first. At the top of the list for Southern [...]

Pecan Cheddar Biscuits in all their glory deserve a place in the kitchen larder as the holiday season is approaching. There are countless recipes for this Southern tidbit that has a place at every party and social gathering, including having on hand for drop in guests. One of the great things about this recipe is [...]
Even though I am not opposed to family or guests eating and running-especially when they run satisfied and content. I on the other hand, don’t feel good about eating and running. But another busy week has left me short on time and I must eat and run today.
