I made this Tuscan White Bean Soup a few weeks back when Nashville got a break from the hot weather and had a few days of cool. Now that we’re having another few days of cooler temperatures, I thought I’d introduce you to it.…
I love this time of year in Nashville. It seems like there’s a continuous stream of food events and most of them benefit a local charity. Generous Helpings is an annual event featuring tastings of appetizers, entrees, and desserts from local restaurants, as well…
It’s definitely been hot enough outside lately for ice cream. Here in Nashville we’ve been close to 90 with high humidity. Absolutely time to enjoy a scoop of this Strawberry Buttermilk Sherbet! I was instantly intrigued by the flavor combination, the fact it only…

Making homemade caramels can be intimidating, but it’s actually pretty simple. This recipe for Chocolate Chip Caramels is a great one to try if you’ve never made homemade caramels. The method is a bit different from the method I like to use (see Salted…
