Breakfast And Brunch

Gingerbread Baked Apples

December 18, 2022 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

For my family, Christmas day brunch is part of our tradition. A nice, big spread with biscuits and jam, grits and egg casserole, maybe country ham or bacon or homemade sausage. Maybe a French toast casserole, or one with hashbrowns. And fruit. Sometimes a baked fruit casserole with canned fruit, sometimes a fresh fruit salad. I like to mix it up a … [Read more...] about Gingerbread Baked Apples

Orange Clove Caramel Spread

December 4, 2022 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Do you remember pushing whole cloves into an orange to use as a Christmas decoration? We called them pomanders and I just love the smell of orange peel and clove. It speaks to me of Christmas.

There are still tomatoes, corn, peaches, peppers, but not for long. And though I love eating seasonal, I am close to having had my fill, ready for the winter squashes, apples and pears. I’ve put up all my summer … [Read more...] about Farmers Market Cornbread

Peach Buttermilk Cake with Peach Whipped Cream

July 24, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 3 Comments

Peaches and buttermilk are a wonderful summer combination (seriously - sweet, sliced peaches in a bowl drizzled with thick buttermilk are a revelatory treat). And baked into a simple cake is a great delight. But to be honest, this is what I think of as a template cake. Because the possibilities are endless. Top with strawberries, plums, nectarines, blueberries or other fruit. … [Read more...] about Peach Buttermilk Cake with Peach Whipped Cream

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.
