Study Snacks

I don’t have finals to deal with.  But if I did have finals to deal with, I’d be stressed, and busy, and probably hungry.  Normally, we order pizza and down vending machine sodas to get through those...

Beet It

I’m not sure when exactly I fell in love with Beets.  I think it was shortly after we first met — a mutual friend introduced us one summer afternoon. I’d known them by reputation before.  My impression...

Staple: Salsa

I’m visiting my parents’ house, over in Texas.  So what is there to eat but TEX-MEX?!?!?!  Nothing, so far as I’m concerned. Ever since I was a toddler, I’ve been dipping chips in salsa.  I think it’s...

Sick of Salads?

How do you ever feel full, if all you eat is salad??? I hate this question.  If you’re vegetarian (or, worse, vegan) you’ve probably been asked this before.  There’s several possible answers: “I don’t...

Grits + Salsa

I’ve always loved grits. Well, I take that back.  The first time I tried them, I thought grits we gross.  But after that and forever more I did and will continue to love grits.  I find that it’s a...

Sweet Refresh ment

Ginger isn’t on everybody’s list of must-have ingredients, but it is definitely on mine.  When I lived in Birmingham, I’d throw a smidgen into almost everything I ate–not enough to overpower the meal...

Appeeling Ice Cream

When someone first told me you could turn bananas into ice cream I laughed.  Why would I even do that? Turns out you do it because it’s delicious, has the same texture as regular ice cream, but is...

Hands-On, On-Hand Meal

One of my favorite things to do is to just stare into my kitchen cabinet and come up with a plan to make a meal out of the odds and ends sitting there, waiting to be used.  (Read: I don’t like to go to...

Summer Squash

Alabama summers bring every type of squash to the market.  I’m pretty sure I even saw winter squash (squashes?) snuck in there. Some people insist they don’t like squash.  I insist they just haven’t...

Deep South Curry

What do you do when you’re craving Indian food when run a southern food blog?  Make it anyway.  Mixing the two traditions, you wind up somewhere between good ole rice & beans and thai food. Curry,...

Chilton County Peaches

They’re better than Georgia peaches.  And everyone around here will tell you that. (Georgians — try not to take offense.) Peach season comes round this time of year and I can’t get enough of them....

Feeding Ducks

I really wanted to feed ducks today.  I’m told the Shakespeare Festival Grounds are an awesome place to go do that.  But it’s gross outside, a combination of muggy and wet but not quite cool.  Plus...

It’s Eggsellent Y’all

Admittedly, I was freaked out by eggplant when I was younger.  It’s always the vegetable listed next to the color purple for some reason, but I’m never quite sure it isn’t just black.  So dark I...

Blonde Roast, Please

Parsnips aren’t for everyone. I found that out when I served a batch of roasted veggies to my roommate, without pointing out that there were parsnips on the plate: “Well, that was a weird squash...

Pink-eyed Purple Eaters

If you thought Black-Eyed Peas were Southern, then just you get ready for Pink-Eyed Purples. These peas can be found dried or in the shell at any farmer’s market in Alabama (and probably other states...

Calling all Cucumbers

I remember making (and loving) cucumber salad as a kid, and my mom acting like it was a really big hassle.  Since all you really do is slice up one thing and season it, I didn’t understand what she...

Yo Soy Chayote

Meet chayote: that goofy looking food you sometimes see at the store/market but never buy because you’re not sure if its a fruit or a vegetable. They also appear to have a face so you’re not quite...

Garlic Bread

There’s a trick to cooking with the “Stinking Rose” (garlic) so that it tastes good but doesn’t overpower the meal, or repulse the people eating it.  Counterintuitively, you just have to use more...

Local Labor Stir Fry

How better to spend Labor Day weekend than getting outdoors to your local farmer’s market and picking up some essentials for the week?  If you’re lucky, they’ll even have a band and free samples...

Garlic, Garlic, Garlic

Wanna know the simplest, fewest-ingredient, cheapest, most-delicious dish you could ever bring to a potluck?   Roasted Garlic. I like to eat this plain, since it’s delicious on it’s own.  But you can...
