Classic Homemade Tomato Soup

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 23:09:00 +0000

Classic Homemade Tomato Soup is quick and easy to make. As much as I love homegrown tomatoes, I find that canned tomatoes yield a more consistent end result. But, if you have homemade on hand, and no canned, use what you’ve got. We’ve got some big news to share. At least it’s big news...

Homemade Basic Tomato Sauce

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 21 Jul 2017 18:52:51 +0000

How we love our summer tomatoes. And spring tomatoes. And fall tomatoes. Our backyard tomato growing season in central Florida is spring and fall. It’s hard to keep our tomatoes going through the harshness of summer. Perhaps I’m actually a tomato instead of a person. I have a difficult time throughout the harshness of Florida...

Southern Summer Vegetable Casserole is layers of tomatoes, zucchini, summer squash, and Gruyere cheese that sits atop a bed of caramelized sweet onions.

Beef and Pepper Soup

Jackie Garvin — Thu, 17 Nov 2016 20:56:47 +0000

Beef and Pepper Soup is beef, bell peppers, lots of vegetables, aromatics and Basmati rice. A hardy and comforting soup. There are but a few things certain in this world. Of course, there’s the well-known cliché about death and taxes, but, something even more certain is that if you cook, you will have mistakes and...

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with Crab

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 21:45:44 +0000

Campbell Soup Company influenced the lunchtime memories of an entire generation. Alphabet soup, chicken noodle soup, tomato soup. We ate them and loved them. Mmm, mmmm, good. Tomato Soup is still one of my favorites. I updated the tomato soup I knew as a child and came up with Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup with...

Onion Filled Yellow Squash with Red Summer Sauce

Jackie Garvin — Mon, 09 May 2016 18:03:02 +0000

I love yellow (summer) squash but I get stuck in a rut and resort to cooking it one way: stewed with sweet onions. Man, oh man! We love it. If you’re into gardening, summer squash is easy to grow and produces like crazy. You’ll be up to your eyeballs in squash in no time flat....

Spicy Fried Summer Vegetable Medley

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 16:26:09 +0000

Fried okra and fried green tomatoes. How we love them! I swannee, they’re gifts from above. It’s a treat for enduring all that comes along with their season. Summer in the Deep South is no joke. But, we get okra and tomatoes. That seems like an almost fair trade-off. Another delectable treat we love...

Rustic Tomato Pie

Jackie Garvin — Fri, 29 May 2015 21:19:53 +0000

Rustic Tomato Pie is a free-formed butter crust with an herb goat cheese filling topped with fresh sliced tomatoes. If I had to consider the rest of my life without homegrown tomatoes, I suppose I would survive. I didn’t say I’d be happy about it. And, I don’t think I’d ever stop thinking about...

Summer Vegetable Casserole

Jackie Garvin — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 23:46:41 +0000

We had our grandchildren for most of last week while their parents were out-of-town. Jackson had been sick and was still on medication and not completely well when he came to us. The second day in, Ella gets sick. They are so pitiful when they’re sick. Just as I did with my sick children, I devoted...

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...

Baked Pork Chops with Tomatoes and Rice is a one dish meal that goes on auto-pilot once it’s put together and in the oven resulting in tender pork chops and flavorful rice. While I never lived in coastal rice country such as Savannah or Charleston, rice was an important part of our cuisine. It...

Tomato Gravy

Jackie Garvin — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 22:28:50 +0000

Tomato Gravy Don’t be under the misconception that this is a heavy, fat-laden gravy. As my Granny would say, “They ain’t a thing in here that’ll hurt cha.” Well, there is a tablespoon of bacon grease. So, if you eat the whole skilletfull, you will have...
