Look at that soup. Almost looks fake, doesn’t it? Like I poured a bit of paint into a bowl. I assure you it’s not paint, it’s Spiced Apple Butternut Soup. And it’s ah-may-zing. It’s so creamy, velvety smooth with delicate flavors. I feel a…
I’ve been eating these French Dip Burgers for years. The crusty French bread and savory burger dipped in au jus is simply fantastic. I’m usually the kind of burger girl that piles on the condiments, cheese, and veggies, but these burgers just don’t need…
As you can see from the Bourbon Bacon Chex Mix post, I had a lot of fun tailgating a few weeks ago. Along with the seriously addicting snack mix, I made Mexican Brownies, fruit and doughnut hole skewers (more on those later), and Jell-O…
Bourbon Bacon Chex Mix. Sounds like the best thing you’ll ever eat, right? Well, it is! Last weekend I was in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, for the big Alabama/Arkansas matchup. My cousin-in-law, Philip, puts this shindig together every two years, and boy can he plan a…
I’m a huge fan of pork chops. Easy to cook and go with just about any flavor combination. Sweet, savory, spicy, combo of all three, it works with pork chops. The simplicity of these Spicy Skillet Pork Chops attracted me to the recipe. It’s…
The first day of Fall was official last Friday, and you can definitely tell it’s that time of year by reading all the pumpkin posts popping up on food blogs. I love finding out new ways to use pumpkin, whether it’s in a savory…
This time last week I was sitting at the Loveless Cafe about to pig out on one of the best breakfasts, in addition to some of the best desserts. A handful of folks were treated to brunch to celebrate the new cookbook, Desserts from…
I think my indecisiveness leads me to choose foods with a combination of flavors. If you ask me to choose between savory and sweet, I just can’t do it. I like it all. So I find myself drawn to dishes that have everything. They…
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to visit Porta Via, located at 21 White Bridge Road. It’s been there for years and I’ve heard so many good things about it. They are the only restaurant in Nashville serving VPN-certified pizzas and…
Nashville weather has been a little wacky lately. We go from hot to fall-like temperatures back to hot in 24 hours. Last week we had a few days of nice, cool weather so over the weekend I decided to get out my slow cooker…
Fish Sandwich with Ginger Apricot Mayonnaise
This is not your ordinary fish sandwich. While we’re on the subject, let me tell you how much I despise fast food fish sandwiches. I think they should be banned…all fast food fish should be illegal. I don’t know why, but it grosses me…
Sign me up for any kind of enchilada, but especially one that is packed with cheese, sour cream, and spinach and takes hardly anytime to whip together. I made these Creamy Spinach Enchiladas last Saturday for lunch and I was counting on it being…
