Fall has arrived
Normally we have warm weather near until winter and many times into mid January. This year hurricane Ian must have pushed milder weather into Alabama. I have to say it is a wonderful relief from the near no rain, humid high 90s we have endured this summer. There have been fall like blustery winds and…

Healthy chips
I’m so very pleased that we bit the bullet and invested in a decent countertop dehydrator. The air is blown from the back with no need to shift trays around during the drying process to give them equal coverage as is necessary when using the plastic stacked tray dehydrators. We love chips but limit our…

Sesame seed corn chips
Well I had planned on having fried corn for dinner last night. That didn’t work out so well because the fresh corn had been in the fridge for a bit too long and was beginning to dry out. A good dose of natural juicey corn starch from fresh corn is needed to create the perfect…

Cheese biscuits for the win!
I’m fairly certain the Red Lobster restaurant is a nationwide chain. If there isn’t one in your area, you have missed out on a treat. It has been many years since we dined there but we always looked forward to their cheesy biscuits served in leu of yeast rolls that many other restaurants bring to…

Deep Mediterranean roots..
My maternal grandmother passed away when I was 20 years old. I always loved her olive skin tone but had no clue why she, my mother and my uncle were blessed with it when I was left with very pale easily burned skin. Years later I found that there is a dabble of Mediterranean DNA…

Another great baked good recipe
I was looking for something different that we had not tried in baked goods today. There was a little time before I had to start cooking dinner. While missing a few ingredients for a couple things that sounded wonderful, I remembered I had Greek yogurt in the fridge that needed to be used when I…

Okra… the food that keeps on giving
I bought another 10 pounds of fresh picked okra this morning. I spent a couple hours canning half of it and placed the other half in the fridge. We love okra pretty much any way we can get it and I probably will be putting more in the freezer before this season is over. It…

So many choices…
…..for someone determined to eat delicious healthy foods. Last night was a fix it quick meal. So the goto on those days usually involves a fresh green veggie salad. I had been baking, sketching and listening to a favorite podcast and the day got away from me. The results of all of those was a…

Simple equals loads of flavor
I’ve gone the gamut of eating and preparing all kinds of food in my life time. From spicy to sauces, deep fat fried, and breaded. As I’ve aged and mellowed I’ve come to realize simple is best for great flavor and nutrition as well as keeping a healthy body. This earth is loaded with the…

When Fried is Good for you
It is very rare that I eat fried foods, especially deep fried. There is nothing healthy about saturating food coated in white enriched flour with vegetable oil till it drips with it. It may taste good to the untrained palette, but healthy it is not. That’s what we southerners were raised on. Fried chicken, fried…
