Baked Blintz Casserole with Peach Basil Compote

June 15, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Summer weekends. At the lake, at the beach, in the mountains, at home. It’s a great time for a leisurely breakfast or brunch. Actually at a table, not in the car or at your desk. But that doesn’t have to mean a ton of cooking at the crack of dawn. This make-ahead blintz casserole is a perfect summer morning meal. Creamy and airy and just sweet enough. Add to it a peak season … [Read more...] about Baked Blintz Casserole with Peach Basil Compote

I make biscuits … [Read more...] about Cheese Bomb Biscuits

I never miss this tradition, even if it’s just a tiny bite of each because I cannot tempt fate right off the bat! If I have friends and family stop by, I love to make big pots of each – maybe a Smoky Black-eyed Pea Stew, or some Slow Cooker Southern version. These … [Read more...] about Collard Cornbread Muffins

Mulled Clementines

December 15, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I will admit, this idea comes from Instagram – but I don’t remember the source. I saw this in the frantic lead up to Christmas cooking and I was intrigued but didn’t really pay that much attention. Until I finalized my menu for Christmas day brunch and realized I needed something fruity on the table. Now, admittedly this is fruit soaked in wine, but it is the holidays after … [Read more...] about Mulled Clementines

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
