No picture sadly, but I’ve missed writing recipes.  I have a backlog of photos without recipes written down and recipes without photos.  At this point I find I’m killing myself with wasted time, trying to remember how I came up with that delicious dish 3 months ago.  So while it may not be pretty, the […]

If you are suffering from boredom and inertia in your weekday meals, I have found the perfect recipe for you to add into your repertoire.  Since the arrival of our third child, sweet Baby Hiatt, my time in the kitchen has been fractioned.  I see glimpses of the future where I will gain a little […]

This week Central Market had the most beautiful local portabella mushroom caps on display.  Though I’ve never been able to pull off the portabella burger (it’s a texture thing), I absolutely love the flavor of cooked portabellas.  This super fast sauce created from roasted chicken pan juices and a little whiskey was the perfect way […]

Blasted tech support.  I spent the whole day yesterday trying to get this post onto my site.  Someone asked me for a chicken tetrazzini recipe.  I can’t remember who it was, SMIL perhaps?  Someone else?  I haven’t made this in ages, so it took me awhile to track it down.  I don’t think I’ve attempted […]

I never knew so many people struggle with preparing mashed potatoes at home!  I frequently hear from readers or friends that they consistently fail with mashed potatoes.  And conversely, people (especially my friend Rachel) claim to crave my mashed potatoes.  Back in the hey day of my Sunday dinners, I used to make mashed potatoes […]

From time to time, I have to remind myself to pay attention to my produce on hand.  I tend to get carried away by the beauty of fresh vegetables at the grocery, and sadly admit to letting more than my fair share of produce go bad before I’ve integrated it into a meal plan.  I […]

By reader request, I’m posting the directions for my sausage gravy to go with my flaky southern style biscuits.  I have a bacon gravy recipe up and several other gravy recipes, but no sausage.  The thing with gravy is, it’s more of a feel than exact measurements.  And it is definitely not a recipe you […]

These ribs are so tender and packed with flavor that you might be tempted to drink the sauce straight from a glass.  You certainly will want to add an extra ladle full to your plate.  My recipe is adapted from an October 2007 issue of Bon Appetit.  One of the greatest things about this recipe […]
