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

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.

Artichoke and Spinach Pasta Bake

October 16, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

I am a fan of one pot pastas for easy, delicious weeknight meals, from pumpkin and goat cheese to coconut carrot curry or shrimp and chorizo. And I am branching out into one pot baked pastas now. A host of flavors simply put in a dish and baked in the oven. This version is like a spinach artichoke dip for dinner. Creamy Boursin cheese adds flavor … [Read more...] about Artichoke and Spinach Pasta Bake

Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Pickled Apples

I am so ready for fall after such a blistering summer. Sweaters, fire pits, warm drinks, hot soups. I am jumping the gun here, because the weather has not at all turned, but here’s a fabulously autumnal dish to make when the time is right. In season apples with the pleasing pucker of pickling and a nice hint of spice are paired with tender pork in a sweet and savory sauce with … [Read more...] about Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Pickled Apples

Paloma Shrimp (Shrimp in Grapefruit and Tequila)

September 4, 2022 by TheRunawaySpoon 1 Comment

A paloma is a delicious cocktail made with tequila and grapefruit juice, topped with grapefruit soda or sparkling water. I love a paloma almost more than a margarita. And this fantastic combination of tart-sweet citrus and punchy tequila is a perfect paring for fresh shrimp. I think this dish is a great way to hold on to the fading end of summer at home, pretending you are at a … [Read more...] about Paloma Shrimp (Shrimp in Grapefruit and Tequila)

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.
