I'm a southern gal with a passion for cooking and baking from scratch, the old fashioned way!
These are some tasty burgers that I came up with while attempting to jazz up our normal turkey burger routine. Using an egg white helps to keep the lean turkey meat moist and binds it into a patty that will cook nicely on the grill. The combination of flavors makes this a pretty special – but EASY – turkey burger!
We’re nearing the end of peach season in the south, a bittersweet time of year for peach lovers like myself. Bitter because I dread the peach-less months of the year that loom ahead, but sweet because I try to fit peaches into nearly every meal of the day in order to savor the peak of their juicy freshness.
Here is a delicious way to add some fresh peaches into your dinner menu. The grilled swordfish pairs perfectly with this sweet and tangy salsa. Add some fresh diced jalapeno if you are looking for some heat with your sweet!
So it’s that time of year again. Despite the snow that is falling here in North Georgia today, spring is just around the corner. Soon we’ll be doffing our sweaters and opting for tank tops and flip flops. So maybe it’s time to watch what we’re eating so that we can be fit and trim for the warm months!
Here is a healthy meal that doesn’t feel, taste, or look healthy at all. It’s colorful and meaty and full of flavor. The spicy heat of the fish contrasts perfectly with the cool, creamy avocado salad. And the leftovers make great fixings for a taco night!
You may remember my post about my cousin, the Meat Lady. She is the one who introduced me to this up-and-coming new cut of meat: the flat iron steak. You can read all the details here, but basically meat scientists like my cousin are finding new ways to cut meat so that you can get a really tender steak without having to pay $15 per pound. I got the steak here for about $4, and it was more than enough to feed both me and the husband (right around 16 ounces). The best part, though, is that this steak has the texture, flavor, and irresistible melt-in-your-mouth tenderness of filet mignon. Pretty good deal, huh?
Here’s a quick weeknight meal for the summertime! the flavors meld beautifully, and the grill keeps all the heat outside, where it belongs!
