If you were to meet me for this first time, and you weren't quite sure where I was from, there would be one dead giveaway: my affinity for Ranch dressing. I feel like the ranch obsession kind of originated in the South. I'm not sure the yankees up north have the stomach for it like… Continue reading Creamy Ranch Cauliflower

Texas Caviar Dip
Ah, the rain. Lovely rain. These past few days we've seen it rain almost non-stop. I'm okay with that. I pretty much hate the sun. Cloudy, overcast, drizzly weather is what I prefer. I would like to see some sunshine today, though. We're having our annual storm chaser barbecue at our Chief Meteorologist's house, and… Continue reading Texas Caviar Dip
Spicy Asiago Zucchini Fries
Okay. I know you've probably seen a billion different recipes for baked zucchini fries on the internet. But hear me out, okay? Mine are different. Mine are zesty. Mine are...well, mine.

I took our current, almost-uninhabitable heat wave into account when I went to the grocery store today. Salads, barbecue chicken, and sandwiches ruled on my list. Ain't nobody got time for turning on the… Continue reading Collard & Cabbage Slaw
Southern Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad
Some of these old fashioned recipes I find from old church cookbooks contain far too much sugar. I tend to forget this while cooking, and then get overwhelmed by the sweetness when I go to taste-test things. Salads tend to be the main culprit in the Too Sweet category. Half the time, the only salads in… Continue reading Southern Broccoli & Cauliflower Salad
Garden Zucchini & Sweet Corn Casserole
We got it! We got our first wedding gift! It may not be much, but...I love it! A while back, I found out that the milling company Shawnee Milling will send newlyweds a sampler box for free. So, I filled out the application, inserted a link to our wedding website, and a few weeks later---this… Continue reading Garden Zucchini & Sweet Corn Casserole
