Ahhh…. (Let me throw out a quick War Eagle after a very exciting football weekend!) Back to the original sentiment… ahhhh. I love fall. The weathers starts changing and the temps start dropping. Late last week, parts of the South were greeted with not only low temps but a few rainy days. Cold and […]
Hearty Queso Dip
While we are on the theme of yummy and hearty dips that are perfect for tailgating, I can’t leave out old faithful, hearty queso dip. I know everyone has their own version of this and for good reason! It is ridiculously easy to make, and it’s delicious!!! I like to mix all of the ingredients […]
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Gosh it feels good to be back and talking about food! I’ve got lots of great posts planned but as y’all know, football is first and foremost on my mind these days. Auburn has a couple of big weekends coming up with playing the University of Georgia and University of Alabama at home. (WAR […]
Chicken Pot Pie
Is it Monday again? Welcome back to the week y’all! After a fun weekend in Knoxville, cheering my Auburn Tigers onto another victory, I couldn’t help but think this morning that we are already halfway through November. The weather is turning cooler, and casseroles are perfect for a crisp fall evening! One of my […]
Deconstructed (Healthy) One Skillet Lasagna
Oh my y’all…. has it really been that long since I last posted. My deepest apologies to all of my loyal and hungry fans. As much as I’d like to say it’s because I’ve been out there cooking up a storm (which I have been to a certain extent), college football season and life […]
Spicy Green Curry Cilantro Shrimp
This southern girl LOVES Thai food. I have always loved a spicy curry but tend not to have it often because of the higher fat content. When I found this Weight Watchers recipe, I was intrigued. Could something so delicious be healthy too?!? I’m here to tell you that YES! It was delicious, nutritious […]
Time for Tailgating!!! – Spicy Black Bean Salsa

What are some of your favorite tailgating foods? There are so many recipes out […]
Mise En Place (There’s a word for my type A kitchen behavior!!!)
Ahhh…a clean and organized kitchen is my heaven! Not only do I love to cook – creating experiences for my friends and family through taste and presentation – I also relish the prep time. The quiet time in the kitchen before guests arrive… before the smells and sounds of the kitchen commence… my alone time […]
Chorizo, Rice and Bean Soup
Sorry y’all! This Southern Belle has been out of touch for the past week, but don’t fret! I’ve been cooking up a storm and even have some restaurants I need to share with you. First things first. It’s been rainy in the South and that always makes me crave soup! I made this for […]
Chili-Citrus Flank Steak with Arugula Salad and Blue Cheese Crostini
There have been lots of posts about chicken and ground turkey breast, so I figured it was time to give a well-exercised part of the cow some TLC. I was playing around with my spices and found a perfect combination of a smoky-citrus rub to add flavor with a citrus juice medley to tenderize […]
