New Years

Good Luck Gumbo (Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Green Gumbo)

December 27, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I am reposting this New Year's Day favorite recipe again, because I think we could all use as much luck as we can get this year! I am not an overly suspicious person. Sure, I have my little quirks, but I don’t worry about black cats, walking under ladders, throwing spilled salt over my left shoulder. But there are a few traditions that I adhere to because, well, it can’t hurt. … [Read more...] about Good Luck Gumbo (Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Green Gumbo)

Lamb Guards of Honor with Hazelnut Mint Crust

December 6, 2020 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Once again, I say the world is different currently. The holidays for me usually means a big buffet party after church services on Christmas Eve, and a smaller family and friends buffet brunch on Christmas morning. That isn’t going to happen this year.

Smoky Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Stew

December 29, 2019 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

As the New Year starts, we turn again to our black-eyed peas for luck. I usually go for something traditionally Southern, but every once in a while, I like to ring the changes and spice things up. This hearty stew has all the cold-weather comfort of old-fashioned Southern black-eyed peas with a fantastic hit of smoke and spice. I’ll admit, I am mostly a … [Read more...] about Smoky Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Stew

Pomegranate Glazed Cocktail Sausages

December 15, 2019 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Don’t laugh. I really like cocktail weenies. I know, they seem a little outré, like those memes of horrible recipes from the past that go around. But I have made many versions of glazed cocktail sausages for parties, particularly at Christmas, and people’s eyes light up and they are devoured. Now, I say I love these, but I have also seen them go horribly wrong. I mean, I’m … [Read more...] about Pomegranate Glazed Cocktail Sausages

Collard and Cornbread Pudding

December 23, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

Any Southerner will tell you that you must eat greens on New Year’s day. It insures prosperity in the year to come (and black eyed peas) for luck. And if you got a big pot of greens to serve up, you just have to have some cornbread to go with it. So here, I have combined the two into a lovely casserole in the style of a savory bread pudding. Frozen chopped greens are a perfect … [Read more...] about Collard and Cornbread Pudding

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.
