Summer is here, yes! I’m so thrilled that the weather is warming up so we can do some outdoor cooking on the grill and eat outside on the deck. The other night we had ribs and macaroni and cheese (and other stuff) and it was so fabulous. As much as I love grilling, my side [...]

Easy Coconut Pie
Posted in Recipe, tagged Desserts, Recipes on May 20, 2012 | 2 Comments »
This coconut pie is so sweet, but so good. I thought after reading the ingredient list and instructions it couldn’t possibly be that great. But I was wrong. It was rich and eggy, but just a little crispy-crunchy on top from the coconut. We had the whole thing gone in hours. Easy Coconut Pie ingredients [...]

I’m always keeping my eye peeled for a recipe that looks complicated, but is actually very easy. This is one of those recipes. Suzanne Z’s Semi Homemade, if you will. Next time I have a party, I’m making this. I’ll unmold it out of the springform pan right in front of my company’s face and [...]

Here’s another gem from my Essential New York Times Cookbook. I’m telling you, my sis gave me that for Christmas one year and it has been a magnificent source for info and terrific recipes.

My family loves tomato soup, but having it out has kind of ruined the simple canned Campbell’s version for me. My favorite is at a local chain called Fatz, which is a horrid name for a restaurant. I digress. The Tuscan Tomato soup is so amazing there. Imagine my surprise when one of the waitresses [...]

Pork is not one of my favorite foods, but my family loves it. I can’t explain why that is, it is such a lean meat, which is usually right up my alley. My dad overdid us on pork roasts while I was growing up, we even make a pork roast for him at Thanksgiving because [...]

Are you someone who loves seafood, but doesn’t make it at home? This recipe may just change all of that. I hate making it at home because it is never as good to me as it is in a restaurant. But that was until I tried this recipe. The fish I used was frozen and [...]

I feel that cooking sometimes means stepping outside of your comfort zone. Oddly enough, this recipe is me doing just that. We had a delicious canellini bean spread at Luce in Charlotte and when I saw this recipe, it reminded me of that. I have to tell you that while it doesn’t look like the [...]
