Hear me out... I love a julep. Well. I love a julep when it's done well. This is rare. Ask most how to make a mint julep, and they'll tell you to muddle mint (which makes it bitter, in my opinion) with some sugar, toss in some bourbon and water it down. Yuck.
I have a julep recipe from ...
Easter Dessert… or Breakfast
I'm a total sucker for a pound cake. No judgement here, please, but those frozen Sara Lee butter pound cake numbers? My god, I could eat the entire thing without even thinking about it! Those are what my grandma would use for the base of her strawberry short cakes, and I still run out and grab ...
Sip on This: Our House Old Fashioned
As much as Bryan and I travel, I'm continuously surprised at how difficult it is to grab a great Bourbon cocktail in other cities. In Chicago, the first place we found Old Forester was at The Berkshire Room (then and now one of our favorite bars in the city). In Southern California, we searched as ...
The Leftovers… Turkey Noodle Casserole
My grandma was the queen of a tuna noodle casserole. I know that at one point, Hamburger Helper had a distant cousin called Tuna Helper, and for a while in the 80's, for the dollar or so a box of the meal helper cost you, you could make yourself a cheesy, egg noodle soup thing with a can of tuna in ...
Tried and True: Butternut Squash Pie
I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this recipe so many years ago, but I know that every year, for some reason or another, it makes an appearance. It's what I gift to neighbors around Thanksgiving, usually what the hubs requests for his birthday in addition to a plain, white cake, and what I often ...
A New Bean
This year, on New Year's Day, my tiny Supper Club gathered at my house to ring in the new year, and- as host- I decided to go full Southern New Year's Day meal.
Growing up, my parents would always cook greens and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Sadly, my mother was not the best cook, so we ...
Get Ready for Leftovers… A Thanksgiving Salad
One of the biggest issues we have after Thanksgiving is what to do with all of the leftover turkey. Come Saturday, we're so freaking tired of turkey we can't stand it.
A few years ago, I found a copycat recipe for Sweetgreen's Harvest Bowl on Coveteur, and gave it a try with my own spin. ...
The Pumpkin Galette
There's something happy about an easy meal. Whether you're one to soak beans and whip it into simple bean soup with a pan of sweet cornbread or you're just a fan of breakfast for dinner, you have to admit that the ease of pulling together a meal with minimal mess and minimal messy dishes is ...
Always Thyme for a Cocktail
When hosting friends for a sit-down dinner, I always go overboard. Whether it's place cards (obviously helpful) or an over-set table (obviously required), I try to make things as special as possible. When it comes to menu planning, alongside the pre-dinner munchies like a cheeseboard or spiced ...
