Chili-Lime Pork Medallions with Sautéed Red Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts and BACON!!!

I’m working on the restaurant review for our fabulous dinner at Saltyard Saturday evening, but in the meantime, I thought I would share the yummy dinner I prepared for our weekly Sunday family dinner night with my parents.  Riche started this great tradition, and it’s one that we look forward to every Sunday evening.  This […]

Did someone say dessert???

Who is stopping by a farmers market this weekend?  If you happen to buy some fresh strawberries, I have a tried and true recipe for the perfect dessert to compliment your dinner.  I’ve also made these for baby showers – strawberries for girls, blueberries for boys (and they never disappoint!)  This is a perfect choice […]

So real men don’t eat quiche now do they?

  What’s that old adage?  Real men don’t eat quiche?  Well why not?  It’s not just for “lunching ladies” anymore.   Especially when you can eat a yummy apple and gouda cheese sausage quiche with carmelized onions.  To really class it up, why don’t we add a salad frisée with bacon-shallot vinaigrette dressing and poached egg […]

Welcome Y’all

Dictionary.com says that a Southern Belle is “a beautiful and charming woman from the southern US.” Some describe a belle as having social grace, charm, the ability to “glisten” rather than sweat and have a mint julep all while making a gorgeous dress from curtains. (That’s a Gone With the Wind reference by the way.) While I agree with all of those descriptions, maybe with the exception of the curtain dress, I think not only does a belle possess the qualities of having social grace and charm, she is also classy, genuine, loves sports, cares about her community and most importantly, THIS southern belle loves good food! (And the accompanying adult beverages of course!)
