Twice Baked French Onion Soufflés

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

French Quarter Breakfast Puffs

I like a little silliness in the Mardi Gras season. Lots of sprinkles and glitter and fun.

Overnight Scones with Many Variations

Life is lurching back to gear again. Whether it’s back to school, or back to work after a vacation or just that sense that you need to buckle down now that days are starting to get shorter. The change of pace from languid summer to busy autumn can be jarring and cooking can fall by the wayside, at least for a while. And figuring out breakfast can be an afterthought. We’ve all … [Read more...] about Overnight Scones with Many Variations

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.
