PurpleHull Peas
PurpleHull Peas are celebrated in tiny Emerson, AR at their annual festival. They’re so good Fergie likes them better than black-eyed peas!
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Unlike a former President we love Brussels Sprouts. I like ’em boiled, steamed and even raw, but my favorite is roasted with sweet-hot honey sriracha sauce.
Butternut Squash Soup
My better half loves butternut squash soup, so much that the canned variety is a staple on her grocery list. With the early onset of winter weather in our locale my thoughts turned to soup because on a cold winter day it’s the ultimate comfort food.
Fried Squash
Fried squash is a family heirloom recipe from my late mother-in-law. It’s simplicity is it’s strength. Nothing fancy and only a handful of ingredients. If you could only have squash one way for the rest of your life, this is it.
Sweet Summer Corn Chowder
I was shopping for groceries yesterday, saw the table full of corn and couldn’t resist. In the cart they went. Then I had to decide what to do with them.
Sunshine Salad
Summertime is here and along with it comes outdoor picnics and barbecues! What makes a quick and easy addition to hotdogs and burgers? The answer is sunshine salad with cauliflower and broccoli. Don’t be like President Bush. Eat your broccoli!
Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits with Chipotle Peppers and Adobo Sauce
Smoked Gouda Cheese Grits are next level goodness, especially these with chipotle peppers and adobo sauce to bring a little heat. It’s a regular request for my contributions to our frequent gatherings.
