Southern panache for your life
I’ve never made Chicken n Dumplins soup at home before. This recipe was an amalgamation of what I had on hand and reminiscing flavors of dishes I’ve eaten once before. While this may be called “Cheater Chicken n Dumplins Soup” the only place we’re cheating on is the dumplings and replacing them with gnocchi. The
I love a good slice of cornbread. Whether it’s on its own or served with a huge helping of chili, I always find myself reaching back for a second slice. When I normally make cornbread I try to focus on having either sweet cornbread, spicy cornbread, or cheesy cornbread, but I decided this time, why
Cheese straws are one of those simple but intimidating recipes. Most people resort to buying some variety off the shelves at the supermarket because “the juice isn’t worth the squeeze” in their minds.

Someone, somewhere is sneaking sugar in unassuming places and we get to grow a little fatter and a whole lot happier during this time of year. And when it comes to memorable holiday food,
With the onset of warmer weather, we are getting a sneak peek of some of the South’s finest staples. At the exit of Strawberry season, we are being sprung straight into another one of my favorite seasons: the tomato. We Southerner’s all but lose our minds the moment the ugly heirlooms, the perfectly spherical Roma’s,
Last time we talked I lied to you and made you a promise I didn’t keep. I said I was going to post about these amazing strawberry shortcake biscuits, but then life happened, there was this whole moving thing, work got crazy, friends beckoned me to hang out, and I sorta-completely-totally-just-maybe forgot to follow up
Very rarely do I develop recipes on my own. While my friends may all affectionately give me accolades of my cooking, I can’t honestly call myself a chef or an innovator. As flattered as I am by their praise – I am a Leo after all- the pure and simple truth is that I’m just
