Fried Green Tomatoes
Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe Video – scroll down for recipe We always had a little garden when I was growing up. Not like a farm, but just a little plot behind the house, down the hill a bit, under a giant cottonwood tree with a swing tied to its branches. I didn’t really have much…
Read MoreFried Chicken
My mom used to take me and little brother to Zilker Park sometimes, back when we were shorter and more annoying. She’d pick up a bucket of KFC fried chicken to take along and set it in the shade on one of the cement picnic tables while we ran around and got all tired and…
Read MoreBlueberry Muffins with Streusel Topping
I have no hesitation when I say that blueberry muffins are the best muffins in all of Muffin-Land. I mean, they’re perfect. Sweet enough to be a dessert, but still (kinda) healthy enough to be an okay breakfast, especially if you make them with whole wheat flour and serve with an omelet or some fruit…
Read MoreKickin’ Chicken Fajita Salad
So there I was, standing listlessly in the kitchen, staring at a frozen, vacuum-sealed chicken breast and a head of lettuce , trying to figure out how to make them into dinner. Lettuce wraps?

Read MoreFlan
How to make Flan video (scroll down for flan recipe) Cinco de Mayo is this weekend and if you’re not familiar, it’s kind of a big deal around these parts. It’s a Mexican holiday that commemorates the Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans whooped the French even though they were outnumbered two-to-one. It’s always…
Read MoreApricot-Ginger Coffee Cake
Real quick, here’s a delicious apricot-ginger coffee cake I made up last night to take to a girlfriend brunch-and-clothing-swap. I’m taking this plus like 4 bags of clothes and shoes to pawn off on someone else. Man, I love clothing swaps. It feels really good to get rid of stuff. It also feels good to…
Read MoreEggs Benedict
Eggs Benedict always seemed like the MOST FANCY thing on the planet to me when I was a kid. Not that I’d ever eaten it. I’m sure that’s why it seemed so fancy. I don’t even know how I heard about it; well, probably I read about it in a cookbook. Oh, little Hilah –…
