Green Tomato Skillet Cake

Strong rain and winds ripped through recently. I’m always chomping at the bits to get out in the yard and survey the damage after a big rain storm. We’ve got many big trees and those hard-headed limbs don’t always drop in a well-suited location. They don’t care about the most gaw-jus plant in your garden...

I loved the days when I would walk in Granny and Granddaddy’s house and before I shut the front door, one of them would say, “Shug, go look in the safe and find ya something to eat.” The safe was a free-standing, multi-shelved cabinet with doors that stored leftover bits of breakfast meats, biscuits, cornbread, cakes,...

If there’s anything Southerners love better than eating good food, it’s planning a big party to celebrate food. Food festivals dot our landscape like freckles on a hound dog.

Frittata Your Omelet (Recipe: Bacon Onion Pepper Frittata)

Jackie Garvin — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:43:14 +0000

Following the teachings of my grandmother to “make good with what you’ve got”, the end product of my kitchen adventures frequently depends on what I happen to have on hand. Some refer to this as refrigerator/freezer/panty raiding. I say, “Let’s see what we can drag out of the refrigerator/freezer/pantry.” I don’t actually “drag”, as in...
