Sweet Corn Pound Cake with Butter Glaze

August 6, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Fresh in season corn straight from the farmers market is so deliciously sweet, it only makes sense to use it in sweet applications. But I know it can sound a little strange. The first time I served this, my dinners said it’s a “what kind of cake? Oh, okay…”  When they tasted it (and loved it) they all said they wouldn’t have known it was corn if I hadn’t told them, … [Read more...] about Sweet Corn Pound Cake with Butter Glaze

Creamer Pea and Corn Salad with Buttermilk Vinaigrette

July 30, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

People often ask me what my favorite food is, and I find it an incredibly difficult question to answer. There are so many, and it changes as I experience new things.

I made the soup and everyone could pile on the toppings to their heart’s desire. It was fun and … [Read more...] about Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Farmers Market Cornbread

August 21, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 2 Comments

Summer is slowly (slowly) moving toward autumn, and the peak bounty of high summer farmers market produce is starting to taper off in anticipation of the fall harvest. 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

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.
