I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
If you ask me, nothing is more comforting than a big bowl of delicious, cheesy mashed potatoes! This version features the intermingling of tangy buttermilk with sharp, melty cheddar cheese. Leave the skins on the potatoes for extra texture, color, and nutrition. This dish makes a perfect pair with saucy pork chops, roasted chicken, holiday turkey, or juicy pot roast.
This delicious cheese spread was a big hit when we brought it to a St. Patrick’s Day party earlier this month. The sharp cheddar balanced by the mellow stout is a perfect mach with hearty rye toast. With flavors reminiscent of rarebit sauce on toast, this is a perfect appetizer for a casual dinner party!
Happy New Year, dear readers!! Best wishes for a wonderful 2011 to you all!!
My mom has been making this recipe since the 1970s when, she says, it was “all the rage.” We have tweaked the original to suit our family’s tastes. It is a delicious and festive appetizer that we often serve during the holidays. My whole family gets excited and hovers around the famous cheese ring. I believe that the combination of cheese, jam, and nuts on a cracker is a Southern thing – if you haven’t tried it, it will change your life!!
I am sad to announce, dear readers, the passing of a much-loved blog that I and many others have enjoyed over the past several years. For unknown reasons, Katie has taken down her food blog, Good Things Catered. In celebration of and appreciation for her contribution to the food blogging community, to our kitchens, and to our imaginations, I am sharing one of my favorite Good Things Catered recipes with you all.
Our family strives to put mostly seasonal fruits and veggies on the table. Not only is it more economical, but veggies that are in season tend to be more nutritious because they don’t have to travel from the other side of the globe before they reach your plate!
Seasonal produce in the spring come as such a refreshing change after the winter. Asparagus, strawberries, and avocados are such a welcome change!! Here is a delicious way to prepare asparagus that will tempt even the asparagusphobes in your household. It also really captures and highlights those fresh-from-the-garden flavors that just sing out “It’s Spring!!!”
