I’ve been eating southern-style collard greens for as long as I can remember. My grandmother on my dad’s side (may she rest), used to whip them up special for me pretty much any time I wanted them. And I wanted them a lot. Both of my grandma’s killed it in the kitchen, and their knowledge…

Fresh Herb Deviled Eggs
I love just about any version of a deviled egg, and these are no exception. I make them all kinds of ways…stuffed with crab, shrimp, smoked salmon — you name it, I’ll eat it. I even love to top them with shatteringly crisp chicken skins. OH MAH GAWD so GOOD! Anyway, I had a bunch…
Shakshuka – Eggs in Purgatory
Shakshuka is seriously one of the best culinary creations ever. Some call it “Eggs in Purgatory“, you can call it whatever you want — as long as you make it, and eat it, and hug yourself afterwards. What is Shakshuka (or Shakshouka)? It’s essentially eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce. Sounds simple enough, right? It’s…
Crispy Roasted Chicken with Creamy Marsala Sauce
Hey yawl! This crispy roasted chicken with creamy marsala sauce recipe and video is the first installment of my Roasted Chicken Series on Youtube. I am ALWAYS roasting a chicken, at least once a week, so why not? Roasted chicken is literally my favorite thing to eat. That intense aroma that permeates your soul and…
Crab, Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Because football-season! This recipe is a little more homemade than the other version I have on this site, ditching the tubs of sour cream and mayo, and replacing it with an equally fattening half and half and only a little cream cheese. Why? Because why not? You’re not supposed to eat this every day, but this…
Quick and Easy Asparagus
Spinach, broccoli, hericot verts, kale, brussels, and asparagus are our most frequently eaten green vegetables in this house. I realize I haven’t posted any vegetable recipes, and there’s a reason for that — I honestly thought no one cared lol. I treat veggies with respect most times, and keep them rather simple for our quick weeknight noms. Sometimes I’ll do something fancy with them, but not frequently. I didn’t think anyone wanted to know how I did this, but I guess I can post my quick and easy vegetable recipes as well as the more involved versions too, right? Wouldn’t hurt…
Lemon and Herb Roast Turkey Breast
It’s the most, wonderful tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime of the yeeeeear! Turkey. Stuffing. Potatoes. Veggies. Gravy. Cranberries. Fresh sage. Family. OMG! Thanksgiving will always and forever be my Christmas. I love it, it’s my favorite holiday of all time. Why? Because food, that’s why lol. I love food. You do too, that’s why you’re here. Today’s food lesson is all about turkey. As I’ve said in a previous post, I’m not cooking our actual Thanksgiving meal this year — we’re flying home to visit my parents. But I needed these flavors ASAP and I couldn’t wait. The plus-side? I’m sharing these recipes with you.
