I hate stuffing! Okay, so maybe hate is too strong of a word, but growing up, I never liked stuffing enough to even get a tiny serving on Thanksgiving. Maybe it was because my mom made the stuff from a

Side Dish Power-Packed with 3 SUPERFOODS: Cold Pea Salad
May 3, 2013 by 5 Comments
Today’s side dish recipe was inspired, in part, by a pea salad recipe I fell in love with at a restaurant called Just Fresh. Ever heard of it? No? Well, that would be because The Chef and I have a knack for falling in love with things, including restaurants (or in this case, cafes), that […]
Healthy Pasta Salad Recipe Adapted from Rachel Ray Recipe
February 23, 2013 by 4 Comments
Our Family Seems a Little Divided on Salads! I love pasta salad. The Chef? Not so much. He’s really not a fan of salads, period. But The Well-Fed Son? He takes after me. *Smile* The Well-Fed Daughter really likes pasta, but I don’t think she’s come to appreciate salads just yet. She may end
Fall Recipes: Autumn Chopped Salad
November 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Pin It We love fall in our house, but one of the things I hate to see go when transitioning from summer to fall is salads. Fall recipes usually do not include salads, and I love salads, too. The Well-Fed Son is taking after me in this. He will inhale a good salad. The Chef, […]

The Fried Okra with Tomatoes Recipe That Was Her First Pregnancy Craving
October 9, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The Lucky Wife has never been a fan of okra, until she tried this Fried Okra with Tomatoes recipe. It even became her first craving when she was pregnant with The Well-Fed Daughter. Interesting first craving, but I’ve definitely heard of some even stranger. She had only eaten it deep fried, probably the most common […]
Our Daughter Would Not Touch Cauliflower Until She Tried This Roasted Caulifower Recipe! {& a surprise from Pinterest!}
July 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I am not a fan of cauliflower, and neither were The Well-Fed Son or Daughter until The Lucky Wife suggested we try it roasted. She is always looking for new ways to try foods they haven’t eaten well in the past or if they get bored with our regular rotations. We had tried a mashed […]
Fried Cabbage
June 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment
In all my years of growing up and of eating in the South, it wasn’t until about two years ago that I actually even heard of fried cabbage. Jonathan Silverman, who played the main character in Neil Simons’ Brighton Beach Memoirs, was quoted as saying that the smell of steamed cabbage could be detected up […]
Sauteed Broccoli with Garlic Recipe ~ With a Secret!
June 3, 2012 by Leave a Comment
George H. W. Bush hates broccoli, and if he’d have been President when I was 10 years old, I would have used it as an excuse with my mother to avoid eating broccoli. The bad thing was George Bush was President when I was 16. It wasn’t until The Lucky Wife and I were married […]
Greek Rotini Salad Recipe
May 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This Saturday Evening’s recipe is a bit unusual in more ways than one. First, The Chef is not a fan of salads, so you will generally not find him serving our salad recipes. Also, this recipe reflects one of my culinary quirks. ;) I don’t think I have many, but notice the name of the […]
