Grilled Pears with Honey-Balsamic Sauce
I love pears and blue cheese. I was grilling steaks, thinking about dessert, and I had pears that needed to be used. This recipe with honey-balsamic resulted.
Zucchini fritters
I learned to make these from a friend, a retired chef, almost 30 years ago. My children love them dearly, and ask for them regularly during zucchini season. They're very simple, and pretty easy to make. Be careful about using "off-brand" saltine crackers; they can change the taste dramatically.
Old-fashioned Southern Creamed Corn
This is the Southern creamed corn recipe I grew up eating as a child, and it's still the creamed corn I crave and cook often. It works best with a white corn.
Chee'dip
This was the snack my children always called for (and didn't always clearly enunciate). It's based loosely on a dip served at a pseudo-Mexican (it wasn't even TexMex, but the cheese dip remains iconic in my memory) restaurant in town. Some version of this dip, generally known just as Ro-Tel after the key ingredient, is served at 90 percent of the casual parties in the American South, particularly if said parties involve teen-agers. But it's a tasty and enjoyable dip, and has a way of continuing to appear on the chip in your hand long after you thought you'd quit eating it.
Top O' The Evenin'
I love coffee drinks on a cold winter night, and this is among my favorites. Guaranteed to take the chill off and warm you from the inside out.
Bell-less, Whistle-less, Damn Good French Toast
There are things in life that just ought to be simple, and to my taste buds, French toast is one of them. My recipe has only three ingredients.
Chocolate cherry cordials
I wasn't going to enter another one, but I got to thinking about these chocolate cherry cordials, and, well, I couldn't resist. The sugar coating around the cherries liquefies somewhat, but is contained by the hard chocolate shell, if you can stand to wait 24 to 48 hours before eating these. They were a standard in the Christmas goodie baskets Mama always made for all the elderly folk at church.
