I didn’t try Indian food until my Freshman year of college. One of my good friends, Andrea, had a sister, Kristen, who was engaged to an Indian gentleman named Dave. Every Sunday after church our group of friends would go over to his apartment for lunch and games while Andrea and Kristen caught up on their laundry for the week. … Read More
Nancy Frady’s Peach Cobbler
I’ve told you before that my church cookbooks are the absolute best in my collection. Not only are they full of wonderful, home cooked recipes, but they remind me of special people who have always been there for me, steadily reminding me of what it means to be a faithful follower of Christ. Nancy Frady was one of those special … Read More
Chicken Lettuce Wraps
A couple years ago, we went to this new fangle dangle resturaunt we’d been hearing about: P.F. Changs. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm. Am I right? You know I am! I had heard of it in various passing conversations, but never tried it for myself. We went with my in-laws to dinner there. They insisted that we order some Chicken Lettuce Wraps as an … Read More
Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that my sister-in-law has some sort of Latina background judging off of how many Mexican recipes she has mastered. Seriously. You’d never know it by looking at the girl. She’s of German and Irish descent. But boy, oh boy, does she know how to caliente things up in the kitchen! She’s running … Read More
Southwest Egg Rolls
So, I’ve mentioned before that I live in a rather small town. I mean, we have multiple traffic lights, a target, some other shops, and some chain restaurants. But compared to the little big town of Nashville, where I used to live, it’s small. While my favorite places to eat are typically local joints, I do have my favorite big … Read More
Oreo Ice Cream Trifle
Oreo Ice Cream Trifle Ah, America. There are so many delicious flavors that represent thee. But few can compare to the delicious, simple snack of a good ole Oreo. I love Oreos. But I know someone who loves them even more than me… my sweet Hubby. (And believe it or not, my Father-in-Law loves them even more than his son!) … Read More
Coffee Encrusted Steak
Coffee Encrusted Steak I’m not the biggest coffee fan in the world. But, my husband is. (Scratch that…my Sister-in-law is!) I love the smell of coffee and the idea of coffee. I occasionally will partake in a frappuccino or something like that. But when it comes to a regular ole cup of joe…no thanks, my taste buds find it far too bitter. However, … Read More
Gina Neely’s Spicy Creamed Spinach
Gina Neely’s Spicy Creamed Spinach I was channel surfing one day and landed on “Down Home with The Neelys” on the Food Network. Mesmerized, I watched for the next thirty minutes as they tore up the kitchen with Southern goodness. One of the feature recipes that day was Gina’s Spicy Creamed Spinach. As soon as the show was over, I … Read More
Hummus Pizza
Hummus Pizza I was introduced to hummus for the first time back in 2007. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were on this homemade hummus making kick. I dunno. I think I have a slight obsessive problem when I find something I like. When I find a great pair of shoes, I get them in various colors. When I find a show … Read More
Grandmother Wilson’s Pink Salad
Grandmother Wilson’s Pink Salad There’s something you need to know about salads in the South. Just because something has the word, “Salad,” in the title, doesn’t mean it’s healthy. But you can almost guarantee that it’s going to be tasty. I have no idea why this dish is called a salad. But it is. It’s really more like a dessert … Read More
