Hummingbird Cake

I have been promising to post about this dear cake for quite some time now! I am particularly fond of this cake, and it is always a huge crowd pleaser. The only disadvantage to the hummingbird cake is that it can pose as a threat to anyone with an allergy... Continue reading

Easy Raspberry Lemon Loaf

U-Pick berry season has finally arrived in Northeast Ohio! Usually I get a round of strawberries in early June, but this year was a tragic year for strawberries and many of the U-Pick fields didn't open. The blueberries and raspberries picked up the slack and are really showing out this... Continue reading

Homemade Honeyed Goat Cheese with Ground Sumac Berries

Goat cheese is just one of those things that I get really crazy about. I mean it... I am a total weirdo about goat cheese! I have to temper my excitement when I see it on menus or discover a new flavor at the store. Fellow goat cheese lovers may... Continue reading

Quick Pickled Strawberries

Strawberry season has already kicked off in some parts of the country, but up here in Ohio we are still patiently waiting for the local U-Picks to open their patches to us. In the meantime, I have been making do with the fresh selections at my local grocery store and... Continue reading

Southern Style Crawfish Boil

Crawfish boils are such a fantastic spring/summer pastime in the south. During my first few years in the north, I would make sure to get my fill of crawfish when I came back to visit Mississippi. However, I really wanted to share the fun experience with my northern friends and... Continue reading

Sweet & Spicy Thai Chicken

During a recent visit to Toronto, I was able to soak up some amazing food inspiration. The city has such a rich food culture and I always come home ready to create or recreate something tasty! Shortly after returning home, I snagged some beautiful lemon basil and Thai basil from... Continue reading

Chopped Romesco Sweet Potatoes with Caramelized Onions & Cilantro

I must admit that I have been somewhat obsessed with Romesco sauce lately, and for good reason... it is insanely delicious! My husband isn't even a fan of bell peppers, but he can't get enough either. Romesco is a red pepper and nut based sauce that originated in Spain. It... Continue reading

Easy Mason Jar Sauerkraut

Spring cabbage will be in season before we know it and that means it will be time to make sauerkraut! Of course, you can always go to the store and buy a head of cabbage or a bag of shredded at any time of the year. However, nothing beats eating... Continue reading

Garlic Potato, Caramalized Onion, & Goat Cheese Pierogies

Having lived in Northeast Ohio for several years now, I decided that it was darn time I jumped on the pierogi bandwagon! Honestly, before moving up here, I didn't know a thing about these little dumpling darlings. A traditional Cleveland pierogi is simply a dumpling stuffed with potato and cheese... Continue reading

New York Style Bagels

I have always had a relatively warm relationship with bagels. I can go a little crazy with them for a while, then try to tone down my carb intake a bit if I start to get too out of hand with them (however successful that may be is debatable hehe!).... Continue reading

Sweet Tea Brined Sous Vided Pork Tenderloin

There probably isn't anything more southern than sweet tea. In high school, I worked at a restaurant that literally made large garbage can sized batches daily. The servers would swing into the kitchen and dunk a pitcher to keep the endless refills flowing! One of the culture shocks I experienced... Continue reading

Sweet Potato Hash

Over the past few years, I have been experimenting with growing sweet potatoes in buckets in the backyard. Each year we dig up the lovely bounties of sweet tubers right before the first frost arrives. They are probably one of the easiest things to grow and, unlike regular potatoes, their...

Greens are a southern staple. Collard, turnip, and mustard greens can be found on menus everywhere, and gardens in the south are bursting with them. Once on your plate, the greens can be doused with a splash of "pepper sauce," which is just hot peppers soaked in vinegar. My grandmother... Continue reading

Pickled Green Tomatoes

In northeast Ohio, the growing season is much shorter than what I am used to from the south. However, this year has been unseasonably warm and my garden tomatoes have been chugging along. While this extended warm weather has been beautiful, I have to face the music and accept that... Continue reading

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash is my favorite winter squash. It is so versatile and fun to experiment with. While I like adding them to dishes such as enchiladas, a good butternut squash soup is a lovely comfort food when the weather turns and brings a nippy fall chill to the air. When... Continue reading

Roasted Golden Potatoes with Truffle, Parmesan, & Rosemary

Potatoes are above all my favorite food item. I am sure I am not alone in this feeling, either! They are such a stable side item and can be fancied up or just delicious with salt and pepper. Truffle is so on trend right now. I have truffle oil and... Continue reading

Simple Sweet Corn Chowder

We may be at the very tail end of sweet corn season here in Ohio, but fresh corn is still plentiful at the farmers markets. If you grew it this summer, you may have a freezer full of it by now! Corn chowder is a simple dish that you can... Continue reading

Mojo Cuban Sandwich

During a recent Saturday sofa movie night, I stumbled across the film Chef. It was written, directed by, and starring Jon Favreau. It came out a few years ago, but I somehow managed to miss it until now. They cooked up so many delicious looking Cuban sandwiches in the film... Continue reading

Tomato season is finally here in Ohio! All of my tomato plants have been loading themselves up with fruit and taunting me as they slowly take their time to ripen. If you have never had tomato gravy on biscuits for breakfast or brunch, you just don't know what you have... Continue reading

Grilled Peaches with Basil & Goat Cheese

Peach season always takes me back to fond memories of my grandmother, a favorite of which being when we went peach picking! My grandmother never got her driver's license, but her friend would drive over in her bouncy old pick-up truck and the three of us would pile in and... Continue reading

Easy Grilled Artichokes with Truffled Goat Cheese

Lets be honest... artichokes can be intimidating to cook with. Sure, an easy spinach artichoke dip with quartered or diced canned artichokes is no problem, but working with fresh ones is another story. They require prepping by peeling and soaking or boiling, and they just look a tad bit wicked... Continue reading

Johnny's Honey Lemonade

Lemonade is such an iconic summertime treat. It embodies all of the fun elements of summer and just floods my senses with happy nostalgia. Normally this sweet drink is packed with processed sugar, but this year I opted to trade up for the many health benefits of local honey. Several... Continue reading

Old Fashioned Strawberry Preserves

Along with all the fun things that summer brings, one of my favorites is picking all the fresh fruit that I possibly can. Growing up in Mississippi, blackberries grew wild all over the place. My sister and I spent many hours foraging delicious treats and going to U-Pick farms to... Continue reading

Sun Dried Tomato & Pesto Brunch Bowl

Brunch is one of the best things about the weekend. You can snooze in a bit through the morning if you want, and still enjoy all of the wonderful goodness of breakfast. I recently traveled to San Diego to visit a dear friend and celebrate Memorial Day. While I was... Continue reading

Summer Garden Tricks

The folks down south may have put their seedlings in the ground back in April, but up here in Ohio things are just now taking off! In Mississippi, the rule of thumb for transplanting seedlings is to wait until Good Friday. In Ohio, we have to wait until Mothers Day... Continue reading
