Chicken Bog

This is my absolute favorite southern dish! Although pimento cheese runs a close second and shrimp and grits is definitely near the top, chicken bog takes the #1 spot of  the ‘Southern Food I Discovered After Moving To South Carolina And I Don’t Know How I Ever Lived Without It’ category. If…

Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

When the inevitable pumpkin spice craziness begins to invade our lives, I like to be ready for it. I love me some lattes, but when my kids asked to have one too, I hesitated. We generally don’t give them coffee, seeing as how they are wired enough already. Personally, I don’t think…

Honey-Ginger Cucumber Salad

Just dropping in to pass along a quick recipe for the weekend! Simply put, this fresh and crisp cucumber salad is just an easy kind of dish to make. It is light and refreshing and great along side heavier barbecued or grilled food. There is very little to it, making it so…

No-Churn Ice Cream

My parents were among the other great individuals out there that used to make ice cream the old fashioned way, at least once a summer, when we were kids. You know what I mean. The wooden bucket with the crank and all the ice and salt you had to pack in around…

Strawberry Milk

Strawberries and summer just seem to go together, yes? Yes. That was a rhetorical question…we all know they do. Strawberries are a universal favorite for kids and adults alike and early this spring, I found myself with 30 pounds of them. Yes 30 pounds. There was this farm and they were doing…

Mexican Chicken & Rice Casserole

Murphy’s Wild Rice

Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew

If you have been looking for a new winter stew to warm you up, this should be added to your menu! Spring is around the corner but while most of the country has experienced some beautiful weather, it IS just February. Snow, cold, sub-zero temps, ice storms, chilly wind, and slushy-sloshy weather…

Dairy-Free Veggie Chowder

When I think of chowder, I think of heavy, milk and cream laden soups that are nearly as thick as a stew. And, I must admit, that is what I find appealing about them. If you are eating them whilst wistfully gazing out at the sea, then they are even more appealing….
