Listen up, people. The time is nigh for the good watermelons. Chop, chop. Get one, grab some feta cheese and mint, and enjoy this little number. I whipped it up last week and liked it so much I made it again the next day. It’s perfect this time of year. Watermelon Feta Salad Ingredients 8…
I clearly have too much time on my hands. I spent my weekend making homemade enchilada sauce and smoking a brisket (full disclosure-husband did that), and I prepared these delicious smoked beef brisket enchiladas with the homemade enchilada sauce. Wanna give it a try? You can smoke the brisket in a smoker, or you could…
I have this thing about me. I like food. And I like talking to people on airplanes. I met the gal who owns this adorable culinary shop in Long Island, outside of Manhattan, a couple of years ago. She became my food bestie and when she posts recipes, you need to take them to the…
I’m about to put my husband in TV time-out. He only watches sports on TV, and I’m guessing that is where advertising agencies persuade unsuspecting lovers of athletics to eat tacos at fast food burger places. There is some dollar taco at a place that rhymes with Murger Ming which got my husband (and then…
Here is Lisa’s Recipe Procurement Tip of the Week: You will never go wrong with a Pioneer Woman recipe. With that said, I pulled up one of my favorite PW recipes, and I’m on my way to the grocery store now to grab a few things to make this. I gotta tell ya. It’s the…
Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Well, it was necessary that I cooked a pizza on Saturday night. I didn’t have my tools with me, because we were at our lake house on Greers Ferry Lake. So I did what any red-blooded Arkansan would do – I went to Walmart. And of course, they…

The temperature being burning hot and 98 degrees makes me a crank pot. So my recipes during this time for Recipe Mondays at www.aymag.com will likely reflect…
I didn’t know there was a term for one of my favorite dishes. Olivetomato.com defines gemista as “vegetables, usually tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini and eggplant filled with rice (sometimes with ground meat) and baked in the oven.” The actual translation is “ones that are filled.” People, it’s summer. That means we have all the things…
OK, we are in the midst of an Arkansas summer now, aren’t we? The one good thing about it being this hot: it means we are in tomato season. I haven’t seen the Bradley County tomatoes yet, but I have seen some pretty ones out at the Bramble Market on Highway 10 and Ferndale Cut…
On Saturday night, the hubby and I came home from an afternoon of errand-running, and we were hungry. Thankfully, I had sliced and pounded out some boneless pork chops earlier in the afternoon because I had a hankering for pork schnitzel. It was what we ate every chance we could when we went to Prague…
