I call myself a southern gal, yet I must confess my shortcomings. Not only do I lack that sweet-as-honey delta drawl, I also make sub-par biscuits. Yes sadly, my poor spicy sausage gravy just doesn’t have that buttery, flaky partner it deserves. In my opinion it’s wrong to use a canned or frozen biscuit if [...]

Hippie green or wilted wonder?
Posted in Recipes for Passionate Eaters on September 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Today, I’d like to thank the sun for shining and the cool breeze for blowing. I’m sitting outside. The sun has begun to set and the sky is unmasking the comforting orange-hue that becomes more pronounced as fall arrives. As the cool weather bustles in, it brings some of my favorite vegetables- winter squash and [...]
The Locavore Bible

Some girls collect coach purses or fancy high-heeled shoes, but not me. No, I prefer practical over pretty. A good cookbook or food magazine consistently make appearances on my Christmas or birthday wish lists. I’ve had numerous favorites over the years including Cooking with Curtis ( beautiful blond hunk in the kitchen…yes please!) or Tyler [...]
Tell Me About it Tueday: beets
Posted in Recipes for Passionate Eaters, Tell it To Me Tuesday on May 12, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Despite being blessed with an easily pleased palate, there’s no denying that beets taste like dirt. I do not like beets, their noted sublime sweetness absolutely stupefies me–what I taste is minerally, earthy, and undesirable. But, I no longer want to be the girl that doesn’t like beets (the only food I opt to abstain [...]

As much as I love hanging out with my boyfriend and his posse of gentleman, sometimes it’s nice to be away from the fart jokes, dirty kitchens, and testosterone-fueled behavior. A few of my closest friends and I decided the prescription for our need for an estrogen-only environment was to have a girl’s night. Of [...]

I love winter–stews, kale, warm flavors, spiced tea, slow cooking, and soup. But there is one thing Winter lacks, fruit. Apart from crispy apples, the season really lacks ingredients that satisfy the need for sweet, juicy, fleshy fruit. After feeling deprived for most of the Winter, I was ecstatic to see blood oranges at [...]

I apologize for my absense. Spring Break began last week, and my internet access was limited. Here are a few food photos and a few fun ones as well! The recipe from Food and Wine used scallops, but the large, local shrimp were the perfect substitution. The recipe is fast, healthy, aromatic, and [...]
Not Your Average Tuna Salad

As the end of the month nears and the funds in my bank account dwindle, I always plan my creations around what’s in my fridge. On Monday I had the following: veganaise (egg and dairy free mayo), carrots, relish, shallots, mustard, and chow chow relish. My cupboard also had freshly baked cottage dill bread. My food [...]
