No, it’s not Mardi Gras or anything even close. But it is fall in Arkansas, which means you should whip up something on the stovetop that is warm and serve it over rice with crusty baguette bread. I insist. I’m the Mayor of Foodville and I command my food-loving citizens to enjoy some shrimp creole…
I make no bones about one of my many shortcomings: I am not a baker. Baking takes precision and measuring, which are two things I don’t necessarily bother with. I am, on the other hand, a savory cook. I throw things in a pan and somehow it is really good. So imagine my surprise when…
I have a couple of kids who are crazy about Chipotle. And I found this recipe that they think tastes just like the barbacoa beef that is served there. I prepared this on Friday night, and we pretended it was Chipotle. My kids say it was even better! Try it and let me know what…
Warning: You’re gonna love this! It’s a perfect snack for football watching, a glass of wine after work or just because. It’s something I served this weekend with pita chips for our guests but then used it as a side dish with cucumbers for dinner. All you need is a food processor, but my…
The temperature has dropped just enough for everyone to start thinking about soups and fall foods. I grabbed this recipe from the Junior League of Northwest Arkansas’ cookbook Add Another Place Setting, and it’s perfect for the season. My recommendation is to use your own whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. Have you done that…
Listen, I know it was a “drown yourself in a pan of brownies kind of weekend,” with that Hog loss and all. So guess what? I found the perfect recipe to accompany your sadness, and it’s full of delicious chocolate and peanut butter. Once you eat the chocolate, you’ll start feeling much better! Oh! And…
I chose this week’s recipe from the Junior League of Little Rock’s 2009 Big Taste of Little Rock cookbook because it’s for breakfast foods. Since I’m an intermittent faster, I don’t eat breakfast. But I do love breakfast foods, which I eat after my fast. So this recipe is perfect for “breakfast for supper,” which…
Everyone is getting ready to break out the pumpkin spice for fall, but I’m going to raise you a mac and cheese. It’s a comfort food that’s great for fall – or any time of the year, really! This recipe hails from the pages of a classic cookbook, the Junior League of Little Rock’s…
This is a delicious and impressive meal to whip up. It appears labor-intensive, but it’s worth it! Ingredients For Chicken: • 4 chicken breasts, cut in half and pounded into 4 cutlets • Sea salt • Freshly ground pepper • 2 8 oz soft goat cheese, room temp (so it’s soft and spreadable) • 1…
I like the creamy goodness of cheese with seafood. It’s the perfect food for anytime of the year. This one would be great tonight over angel hair pasta and sliced tomatoes baked with pesto. Ingredients ● 1 pound fresh large shrimp, peeled and deveined ● 1 teaspoon lemon zest, divided ● 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided…
