Jackie Garvin — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 01:23:13 +0000

Old Fashioned Pot Roast with Vegetables and Gravy is made from scratch with fresh vegetables and a rich brown gravy. The ultimate comfort food. My initiation into the world of cooking is somewhat of a mystery to me. It’s unclear whether I was taught to cook at an early ago so I could quickly...

Two of my Bible study mates, Melonie Hall, Sheryl Francavilla, and I are nearing the end of a year long study. We thought a little celebration was in order, plus we’re always up for feeding ourselves, so we had a meal at my house. Melonie brought a delicious cheese and cracker tray to get us...

Creamed Potatoes and English Peas

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 00:49:11 +0000

I’ve written many, many, many stories about the influence my grandmother had on my love of cooking and love of eating and love of life. Granddaddy didn’t cook. That was Granny’s job. Plus, he may have been a little intimidated to try to follow after her in the kitchen. After Granny’s health started failing, Granddaddy...

Buttermilk Scalloped Potatoes and Family Promise

Jackie Garvin — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 16:18:27 +0000

Our church serves as host to families in the local Family Promise program. I can say a lot about Family Promise but I think their mission statement says it best: Our mission is to help homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response. The goal and mission isn’t to foster dependency, but...

Corned Beef Dinner is a corned beef brisket simmered until tender and served with carrots, cabbage and potatoes. After simmering, the brisket is coated with mustard and brown sugar before broiling which results in a nice crust.

Perfect Potatoes (Recipe: Grilled Rosemary and Garlic Skewered Potatoes)

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 23:21:59 +0000

I could go on and on about the food/memory connection. The older I get, the more I appreciate it. Those memories keep my departed family members very much alive in my mind. A certain food will spark a memory of an event that may have happened 40 or 50 years ago, but it seems like...

Rosemary Roasted Baby Potatoes and Garlic

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 05:01:49 +0000

I just love, love, love those bags of mixed baby potatoes and fingerling potatoes. They represent themselves quite well, in my opinion. You can serve an elegant dish that is so easy to make. What else can you ask from a dish? Elegant AND easy. Wash all potatoes and trim as you would...

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 12:09:07 +0000

As a writer, I rely heavily on my memory to help me make connections between food, my past and my heritage. Or maybe it’s more likely that I depend on food to help me make connections between my memories, my heritage and the present. What I am sure of is that food memories are powerful....
