A Salad Shout Out and a Promise to Return!
Hey folks! It's an absolutely beautiful day here in northeast Louisiana, after a stormy night. I hope you're well in your corner of the world. Between parents and grandchildren and my writing deadlines, this full-fledged member of the sandwich generation is meeting herself coming and going. But, I haven't forgotten you! Case in point, it occurred to me that y'all might enjoy my Bodacious Broccoli
Apache Bread for New Year’s Eve!
Let the record show, this is not my recipe. We’ve made it for a hundred years around here, so I have zero idea who to credit here. Nor do I know why we call it Apache Bread. What matters is that the eating is stellar! We generally serve Apache Bread at some point during the holidays, and tonight’s the night! I’m pretty sure I’m not
Tachos from Shellie’s Kitchen
Disclaimer: This is not a diet food and moderation is a thing. That said, it is TACHOS and if we weren’t married I think the beloved farmer would have proposed earlier. TACHOS I wouldn’t even call what I did here a recipe but I’ll give you the steps. Step 1: Add vegetable oil to your skillet and fry a single layer of tator tots. (I rarely and I mean
Pepper Jack Shrimp Wraps, Yes Please!
Hey friends! I threw this picture up on my social accounts with the caption that follows: Me and thee dear shrimp are about to build some amazing wraps for lunch with the beloved farmer! (Bonus— enough of the little fellas here to have leftovers tonight once I get a TON of to-do list done!) Y’all make some noise if you want to see the recipe on
Fabulous Fried Rice
The farmer and I love fried rice but we rarely have it. For starters, we don't have a Chinese restaurant in our small town, and until recently, I've never cooked it at home. But, I do love learning new things, so I set out to mimic the fried rice dishes the beloved farmer and I have always enjoyed. And if I must say so myself,
Shellie’s Salted Caramel Protein Balls
Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. We’re making protein balls. My daughter aka Miss Kitchen Belleicious—look her up! Was the first to turn me onto protein balls. And honestly, although I enjoy them at her house, they usually fall off my radar once I get home. At least they used to, but not anymore. I’ve been experimenting with them, lately. I just whipped
Broccoli Love for People Who Don’t Think They Love Broccoli
“Broccoli Love” (for people who don’t think they love broccoli) Wash and prep broccoli. Coat with olive oil, red pepper flakes and much garlic. As Foghorn Leghorn would tell it, “I say, I say much garlic.” See pic. Spread on cookie sheet. No crowding. Your broccoli requests room to breathe, y’all, or it won’t get crunchy and all caramelizy. Yes, I make up words but sometimes I need
It’s a New Season at All Things Southern
Hey y'all! I'm happy to report the Beloved Farmer and I survived the 2nd Annual Pops and Keggie Kamp! That would be the one held for our grands, The Fabulous Five, and it is not for the feint of heart or body. The kids and I had a list of activities we wanted to get around to and we were checking 'em off like crazy. Kamp
Phil’s Favorite Chocolate Truffles
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! Someone once famously noted that chocolate comes from cocoa and coca is a plant, therefore chocolate counts as salad. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. And seeing as chocolate and Valentine's Day day are the dynamic duo, we're featuring "Phil's Favorite Chocolate Truffles" in the kitchen. I'll score major points serving these to my man,
