apple, apple cider vinegar, bacon, butter, Butternut Squash, eggs, goat cheese, lettuce, onion, pumpkin seeds, sage

I made this Autumn Thyme Wedge Salad a couple weeks ago and have been dying to share it with you. It has so many wonderful seasonal flavors that it sings of Autumn Thyme. The star of the salad were the Warm Goat Cheese Fritters. They were so good they deserved their own recipe post (and so delayed the introduction of our newest wedge salad recipe). Continue reading »

I am thankful for Farmers’ Markets (where I scored these beautiful Georgia peaches) and friends with gardens (where I scored these picture perfect jalapenos). When peaches and jalapeños meet there is bound to be some sweet spicy love created aka Peach Jalapeño Skillet Jam.

corned beef, marble rye, Russian dressing, sauerkraut, swiss cheese

Sometimes less is more. I know I’ve said that recently in a post. I’m intentionally practicing that line. Sometimes less is more. Key word here ‘sometimes.’ Perhaps to a fault, I’ve always been a fan of ‘the more the merrier,’ however last night called for a simple, quick and easy dinner. The Classic Reuben Sandwich on fresh bakery marble rye bread with a schmear of amazing Homemade Russian Dressing was just right. Continue reading »

apple cider vinegar, cilantro, cumin, jalapeño, lime, olive oil, poblano peppers, tomatillos

Fire Roasted Poblano, Cilantro & Lime Dressing is my new favorite. Slightly smoky bright flavors, balanced by toasted cumin, cilantro and fresh lime juice. I wanted each component to hold it’s flavor identity, so I’ve left it slightly chunky. Turns out this dressing doubles as a kickin’ salsa :) and soon to be used as a marinade. Continue reading »

I’m a huge fan of Italian Grinders aka Italian Submarine Sandwiches. For me, it’s the Submarine Dressing that kicks up all those Italian meats and cheeses as they nestle into crusty Italian sub rolls.

Weeks before Thanksgiving my sister and I were already making plans for the leftovers. Turkey Noodle Soup, Turkey Divan, Turkey Tetrazzini, Potato Pancakes, Roasted Veggie Soup, and let us not forget Thanksgiving Dinner Sandwiches.

Oh yeah, we’ve got stuffing, turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce all piled into a sandwich of comfort. Then without notice she blurts out Cranberry Horseradish Mayo. What?! There was silence for about a nano-second before I shouted out. Brilliant! Continue reading »

This has been my Summer of Jam. In years past I had avoided making jams and jellies simply due to my lack of understanding of the canning process. However, once I discovered how easy it was to make skillet jams the creative juices began to flow. Strawberry Jalapeno and Peach Jalapeno Skillet Jams gave me the confidence to take on Tomato Bacon Jam. Continue reading »

When summer tomatoes are at their best, I could eat a ‘matter’ sandwich for dinner every night. Give me some fresh baked white bread, sliced garden tomatoes, Homemade Mayonnaise and listen to me utter these words. Good gracious! Continue reading »
