Oatmeal Get Up and Go Muffins

I have been engaged in the tedious process of updating aspects of my website.

Enjoy! When the reality of the new school year and the end of summer hit, having a … [Read more...] about Oatmeal Get Up and Go Muffins

Fresh Corn Yeast Bread

People ask me all the time what my favorite recipe is. I hate that – I don’t publish anything I don’t think is really good. Of course, there are things I like better than others, as we all do.

I absolutely adore a good buttermilk biscuit. And I’ve gotten pretty good at making them. It may be the thing I am asked to cook for friends and family the most.

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

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.
