Ricotta Balls in Tomato Sauce

March 12, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Here we are again in that not-quite-winter, not-quite-spring time. It is cloudy and cold today, but two days ago it was lovely, bright and warm. The green shoots and leaves are starting to appear, but the grass is still brown and it’s not time to put the sweaters away yet. I am not really in the mood for stews and soups and braises, but the fresh new season produce isn’t quite … [Read more...] about Ricotta Balls in Tomato Sauce

Twice Baked French Onion Soufflés

February 26, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The first time I made a twice baked soufflés, I served them elegantly on individual gratin dishes with my best china and silver as sophisticated ladies’ luncheon. I developed this version for another ladies’ luncheon (where the ladies were of course just as elegant) hosted not at my house. But it was so easy to make these soufflés ahead and turn them out onto a rimmed ceramic … [Read more...] about Twice Baked French Onion Soufflés

Cajun Smothered Shrimp with Green Onion Rice

February 12, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I can’t get near Mardi Gras season without whipping up several Louisiana-inspired meals. Sure, I make gumbowith a roux, slow cooked red beans and rice, fabulous party food like savory crawfish king cake or crab remoulade cheesecake and desserts like tarte a la bouille and king cake bars. But it’s nice to have a simple, weeknight … [Read more...] about Cajun Smothered Shrimp with Green Onion Rice

Homity Pie (Potato, Leek and Cheddar Pie)

January 29, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I’ll admit, I was first intrigued by this dish because of the name. It seemed to me something ancient and quaint, like a medieval recipe or remnant of a Tudor kitchen. I came across this first from a food stall that sells savory pies in London. It’s a really simple dish, but still packed with flavor. So I did a little research, and as best as I can tell, its origins are not so … [Read more...] about Homity Pie (Potato, Leek and Cheddar Pie)

Slow Cooker Cacio e Pepe Dinner Rolls

January 22, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

The things you can do in a slow cooker! For years, I thought the only thing a slow cooker was good for was stew, but man was I ever wrong. I use it for so much more now, from jam to dessert, pork roast to roasted pecans and sweet potatoes. And then I discovered you could make bread in the slow cooker. It makes perfect sense, the warm, … [Read more...] about Slow Cooker Cacio e Pepe Dinner Rolls

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.
