Curried Onion & Spinach Pizzas and Why Curry Doesn't Suck
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come visit me at my new site, Mouth From The South! I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not a big fan of the flavor of curry. It's not that I've ever hated the taste, I just never found myself craving it like I do some foods. And a few years ago, an epi...
@Joy - like I said, I'm not a huge fan of curry but I still really liked this pizza.

Marisa - I actually saved it when I first saw it posted because it looked so delicious. It was a complete hit at our potluck. And thank you for featuring my tomatoes on your site!
Camel Crickets and a Winter Squash & Potato Casserole with Gruyere Cheese
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come visit me at my new site, Mouth From The South! Whenever I leave on a trip, I only need one guess in order to know what my husband will be eating while I'm gone - mashed potatoes. Sometimes he mixes it up and makes hash browns and if he's feeling parti...
@Jennifer - they're creepy as hell, aren't they? I tease my husband unmercifully about his aversion to them but they creep me out as well.

Saving Summer for Later with Marinated Sun-dried Tomatoes
Thanks for visiting my site - please visit this post at my new site, MouthFromTheSouth.com I've spoken before at great lengths about my tomato sickness. Simply put, tomatoes are my crack. So much so that I grow a ridiculous amount of them in my small garden and when my quest to grow as m...
I store mine in a plastic freezer bag in the freezer. They've kept for over a year that way. I've never stored them in the fridge so I can't answer that question.

@Kitchen Ninja - I'm so happy you liked them!!! The last batch I made only made it to the freezer after I had eaten about half of them.

@One Crafty Mumma - It thrills me to know that I've got a reader from Australia! My uncle lives there and I visited there when I was younger although we never made our way out to Tasmania. Freezing tomatoes whole is one of my favorite ways to quickly save my tomatoes. It gets so hot in our kitchen that I like to wait and do my canning in the fall. This makes it easier to do that.

Candace & Alison - thank you so much!
I've been missing in action quite a bit from our local potlucks but I'm going to try to be more of a regular from now on. I'd love to see you there!

I have 'What to Drink With What You Eat' and I love the book. I would love to win a copy of this book because I've wanted one for a while now. My latest favorite flavor combo has been Cambozola - I love the faint sweetness of it with the incredible savoriness of the blue cheese. I've been eating it with figs & honey and tonight we had it with Benton's prosciutto.
an ode to flavor - and a book giveaway!
This week marks the birthday of something pretty important to me. No...it's not a relationship...or a pet. It's a book. It's the volume in my (ridiculous) cookbook collection I turn to most - The Flavor Bible. The brainchild of Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg, it's the definitive text on com...
Thanks Candace!
Dana - I always make huge batches of caramelized onions to freeze for later, especially since most of the time I use them for French onion soup. There's a little loss of texture but not enough to make much of a difference for me. Plus it's so convenient.
Pretending Caramelized Onion, Peach & Brie Quesadillas Are Diet Food
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come visit me at my new site, Mouth From The South! I spent this past weekend with a group of the loveliest women imaginable at a spectacular food event called IFBC (recap coming soon). Let me quickly say that it was an amazing weekend full of fun, laughte...

Keeping cool with Watermelon Margaritas
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come visit me at my new site, Mouth From The South! Like a lot of the rest of the country, we're melting here in Knoxville. It's been a miserable summer with dry, hot weather and since we live in an old house with only a few window units, we try to keep co...

Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Mozzarella, Corn & Tomatoes
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come visit me at my new site, Mouth From The South! This is one of those simple recipes that I'm sometimes hesitant to share. It's so easy and uncomplicated to make that I always feel like I'm just stating the obvious. Thanks to the feedback I've gotten l...
Thanks you all!
Elizabeth - I'd love to meet up with you! We've got a pretty busy day planned because we're in the middle of some MAJOR renovations to our house (as in demolition & putting walls up) but we plan on getting to the market on Saturday morning pretty early. I'll email you as well to make sure I get in touch with you.
I Get By With a Little Help from my Friends, and some Peach Basil Sangria!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Please come visit me at my new site, Mouth From The South! Pardon the glass - it's the only one not packed up or covered in plaster dust right now! The past few months have been some of the most stressful my family has ever dealt with. I've mentioned before that...
13 letters - We sell them $2.50 each or 3 for $5. All peppers/eggplants/herbs are $2 each.
Joy - I'm sure you'll do fine. I've killed more plants than I want to admit in a public forum. Just jump in and if they die, they die. It's how you learn to garden.

Dark Days Challenge - Week 15 - Adding Some Fire & Heat to a Chilly Day
I tend to not cook much with ready made food items. It's not that I'm completely morally opposed to them. Yes - a lot of processed foods are made with far too much salt, fat and GMO ingredients for my taste. And many of them are very pricey and not very tasty to boot. But I'm a busy person...

I'm so glad you guys went to Bentons! Mr. Benton really is the nicest guy as are the people that run Laurel Creek Meats. I'm jealous of the pork orgy you're going to have!
Dark Days Challenge - Week 14 - Finally Using My Get Out of Jail Free Card!
I've been putting off this moment for as long as I can but this week I finally gave into temptation and used what I call my "Get Out of Jail Free Card" for my Dark Days post. We made breakfast for our official Dark Days meal. Marcus and I are both exhausted. We're both still recovering fro...
