Deviled Eggs with Cranberry Jello
Deviled eggs with Cranberry jelly, alongside our chipped beef cheese ball help us make it all the way to dinner for our Thanksgiving feast!
Gougeres
Cheesy Gougeres are the first to disappear from your bread basket and when you make them at home, you can have all you want!
Italian Butter
Italian butter of course, is olive oil. This is combined with herbs and spices for a heavenly mixture to sop up with dinner bread.
Beer Cheese
Beer Cheese is made with two of the most beloved things on the planet. Make it, taste it, and don’t forget the warm soft, salted pretzels.
Roasted Garlic with Pesto
Buttery, caramelized Roasted Garlic is delicious. Add goat cheese and pesto sauce to make it the addictive canape you dream about.
Marrow Butter and Toast
Marrow Butter is the way to introduce that picky eater to bone marrow. It looks delicious and one taste is all it takes to set the hook.
Cheese Ball with Chipped Beef
I channeled Hercule Poirot while investigating the origin of our Thanksgiving Cheese Ball, but the answer surprised me.
Hush Puppies
Hush puppies are a traditional side for fried catfish or with a shrimp boil. These tasty dough balls are another delicious form of cornbread.
Arkansas Cheese Dip
The U.S. Senate voted Arkansas cheese dip better than Texas queso in a blind taste test. Read the rest of the story about it’s creation here.
Fried Dill Pickles
Fried dill pickles hold a special place in the heart of Arkansans because they were created here and because they taste so good!
Shrimp Cocktail
The iconic shrimp cocktail didn’t begin life as we know it today, it began as a cocktail you drink, and with oysters instead of shrimp. Are you confused?
Lobster Thermidor
Antoine’s in new Orleans has many classic dishes on the menu, but the most memorable to me was their Lobster Thermidor. Roy F. Guste, Jr. the proprietor, broke ground by publishing a cookbook and sharing his recipes. Most restaurants guard them zealously, especially when they were in the family for generations.
