Turkey BLT
It seems a little silly or unnecessary to share a recipe for a sandwich, but this turkey BLT with avocado is a special sandwich. This is the sandwich that my darling grandmother Hornsby would make every Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, with our leftover roast turkey. She really didn’t cook much — I remember gingerbread…
Read MorePimento Cheese
Pimento Cheese Recipe Video – scroll down for recipe card Pimento cheese is a thing that is truly best when homemade. The stuff in the little plastic tubs just doesn’t do it for me: it’s sweet, it’s pasty, it lacks pizzazz! Homemade pimento cheese — especially mine — is rich and tangy and perfect for…
Read MoreSlow Cooker Pulled Pork
This slow cooker pulled pork recipe is straight outta my Slow Cooker Recipes book! It’s been tested and retested and eaten and re-eaten … err, that doesn’t sound right. The point is, this is a damn near impossible to screw up pulled pork recipe. I know — I know — the best pulled pork is really…
Read MoreEggplant Parmesan Sandwiches

Chimichurri is a fresh salsa based on oil and vinegar and parsley, with various…
Read MoreBlack Bean Quinoa Burgers
The problem with so many veggie burger recipes is the blah, mushy texture. Not these, boyee! Black bean quinoa burgers are high-protein and nutrient-dense. I added minced kale though you can use spinach, but kale gives a more interesting texture. Mashed black beans, chewy quinoa, crunchy almonds and a smidge of cheese (optional!) make sure these…
Read MoreFilet-O-Fish Copycat
I say “copycat” but really, this Filet O fish copycat is much tastier than the McDonald’s Filet O Fish sandwich, and more filling with less calories. I think you’ll agree that this isn’t the first time a copycat recipe turned out better than the original. Though I don’t celebrate Lent, I found an article last week…
Read MorePizza Roll Recipe
I wanted to make pizza rolls, like the things you buy frozen — little bite-sized pockets of dairy fat and shortening surrounding a tiny cube of “pepperoni” — but quickly realized that I don’t have the patience for making 100 bite-sized pizza pockets and if I don’t have the patience for that, who does?! (That…
