Blueberry Scones
It is a Southern Thang…… Southerners are known for sharing their food with friends and neighbors. A new baby, a homecoming, welcoming new neighbors, or a grieving family are some of the reasons we take food to people. Simply put, this is one example of southern hospitality. This is one of my favorite recipes to share […]
Jim Goode’s BBQ Rub
This is a fantastic dry rub for both beef and pork. This is my go to spice rub when I am smoking ribs.
Ancho Chile and Sundried Cherry BBQ Sauce
This homemade BBQ sauce should be made a least one day before you use it. I usually prepare it 3-4 days before. It is a delicious combination of sweet and spicy and is perfect on chicken, beef and pork. I leave out the Cayenne pepper because the ancho chile is enough spice for me. What […]
Smoked Baby Back Pork Ribs with Ancho Chile and Sundried Cherry BBQ Sauce
I love the flavor of smoked meat especially ribs. My favorite way to prepare ribs is to use the 3-2-1 method. This a fool proof way to have fall off the bone ribs. Prepping the ribs is your first step. Be sure to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. If you are […]
Blackberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
I love small farms that sell homegrown fruits and vegetables especially if you can pick your own. We have a few of these near my home in Dallas which I like to frequent. Last week I was able to pick fresh blackberries from Pure Land Organic Farm in McKinney Texas. The farm is about 28 […]
Mixed Green Salad with Peaches, Burrata Cheese and Proscuitto
This is one of my favorite summer salads. It is an easy salad to put together to have on a weeknight at home or an impressive starter if you want to wow your dinner guests. I love to eat different fruits in my salad and often times will add berries, peaches, nectarines, apples and pears […]
Homemade Pie Crust
I have never been good at making a homemade pie crust. I have tried several recipes and it has always been an epic failure. I found this recipe on another blog site (www.picky-palate.com) and it got great reviews. I decided to try one more time to make my own pie crust. I am so glad […]
Custard Peach Pie
The Peach Truck arrived in Dallas last weekend bringing fresh Georgia peaches. I had never tried a Georgia peach but I knew they had quite the reputation for being very sweet. I bought a 25 lb. carton, 2 bags of Georgia pecans and their cookbook. Those peaches were fantastic and this pie was delicious. The […]
Strawberry Lime Tom Collins
Strawberries Romanoff
It is strawberry season and we have the cutest U-Pick strawberry farm near us. I have an admission to make, I had never been to U-Pick farm until last Saturday. This may not seem strange to you, but I have been living within 15 miles of them for almost 20 years. However, since I work […]
