Southern Summer Vegetable Casserole

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 12 Jul 2017 11:53:00 +0000

Southern Summer Vegetable Casserole is layers of tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, and Gruyere cheese that sits atop a bed of caramelized sweet onions. Southern summers, especially Deep South summers, bring on weather conditions that seem downright intolerable at times. But those same conditions that try our souls, bring forth a bounty of delectable produce that’s so...

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 19:20:53 +0000

A make ahead casserole of eggs, sausage, and cheese that’s perfect for a hectic Christmas morning. Christmas Morn Casserole is assembled the night before and popped in the while Christmas morn activities take place. Traditions play an important role in my life.

Cheese Grits Casserole

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 17 Dec 2016 18:46:42 +0000

The original post was published March 2011. I’ve updated the embarrassingly bad photographs and made the recipe instructions more clear. I didn’t change the recipe ingredients. They were then, and still remain, perfect. It’s not at all uncommon to have regional food favorites. Sometimes those favorites are only appreciated by folks in a particular...

Cheeseburger Chowder and #cookclub

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 09 Feb 2014 20:37:41 +0000

A local news outlet, The Tampa Bay Times, hosts a fun cooking event called Cook Club. The idea is a recipe is posted, you make the dish and share photos and comments on Instagram using #cookclub as a tag. Later, a Twitter party’s organized and a chat ensues about the current recipe challenge. A community cooking challenge...

Broccoli Cheese Soup

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:00:50 +0000

Broccoli Cheese Soup is a great recipe for using up bits of left over cheese. Any type of hard and semi-hard cheese that’s meltable can be used. While I rave about how good school lunches were back in the day when the lunchroom ladies actually cooked, they had epic fails with broccoli. I don’t know why...

Comfort (Recipe:Homemade Tomato Soup and Herb Cheese Biscuit Croutons)

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 04 Dec 2013 13:31:48 +0000

I keep my pantry stocked with quality canned tomato products. If fact, tomatoes are one of the few canned vegetables I use on a regular basis. Sam needs to watch his sodium intake so that makes frozen or fresh a better choice for his health. When I cook with tomatoes as an ingredient, I will...

Cheesy Creamed Spinach Casserole

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 22:15:37 +0000

Cheesy Creamed Spinach Casserole uses frozen chopped spinach for the creamed spinach base with added cream cheese and a grated cheese topping. Some how, I developed a taste for spinach as a young child. I don’t know where it happened. It must have been the school lunchroom because we never had any type of...

Oldies, Goodies and Sausage Cheese Balls (Recipe: Easy Sausage Cheese Balls)

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:31:00 +0000

I saw that Food Network’s website had posted Paula Deen’s recipe for Sausage Balls. This time-honored recipe has been around for so long and is so well-known, I found it surprising that Food Network would highlight it. This is a recipe I was certain that everybody and their brother-in-law knew by heart. I hadn’t ever bother to...

Bacon and Egg Hero for a Hero

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:52:56 +0000

People I consider heroes aren’t found on the big screen, athletic fields, state capitals or Washington, D.C. My heroes are found in unassuming places like the wiregrass section of southeastern Alabama in little towns with populations less than 5,000 with somewhat depressed economies. These same little towns have never hosted a big named music concert,...

Flank Steak Slow-cooker Fajitas

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 22:28:17 +0000

Flank Steak Slow Cooker Fajitas are simple to make and require very little preparation. As groceries continue to consume larger portions of the household budget, I find myself asking the same question each time I go food shopping, “How much higher can groceries get?” I ask myself that question and, of course, I don’t have...

The Baked Potato Face-off (Recipe: Baked Potato Fritters)

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:36:20 +0000

Following the teachings of my grandmother to “make good with what you’ve got”, I try hard to use up as much food as possible and not let it go to waste. I disappoint myself when I find the occasional science project growing in my refrigerator. Containers get pushed to the back of the refrigerator and...

A Southern-style Wine and Cheese Christmas Party

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 03:56:07 +0000

I strongly identify with my Southern heritage and take great pride in it. Any chance I get to show my “southerness”, I’ll jump at it. The idea of a Southern-style Wine and Cheese party seemed like the perfect theme for a Christmas party. Showcasing Southern wine and food while showing folks some genuine...

Pimento Cheese Spread

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:38:53 +0000

Pimento Cheese Spread I’ve eaten it on crackers, in sandwiches and stuffed in celery. If you were raised in the South, been in the South or knew anyone from the South, chances are you know about “pimmenocheese”. We say it like it’s one big word. My mother and grandmother both made this a...
