Fresh Strawberry Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy

May 6, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I have combined a lot of words I like here. Strawberries and biscuits and chocolate. I’m not sure I can do any better for a strawberry season brunch treat. I think strawberries and chocolate are a timeless pairing, though usually found in desserts and candies. Of course, I’m not saying you can’t eat these for dessert, but they make a really lovely surprise on a breakfast or … [Read more...] about Fresh Strawberry Biscuits with Chocolate Gravy

Tasso Gravy and How to Use It

February 19, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

After the rush and food extravaganza of Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year, there is always a quiet little lull in my kitchen. I tend then to simple soups, braises and stews.

Country Ham Wrapped Stuffed Chicken with Green Onion Gravy

Mostly though, we enjoyed it just as slices off the whole ham, sometimes tucked into beaten biscuits or as leftovers on simple sandwiches or mixed with sweet butter to spread on crackers. The … [Read more...] about Country Ham Wrapped Stuffed Chicken with Green Onion Gravy

Buttermilk Grits with Bacon Gravy

April 3, 2016 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I have combined in this recipe three of my favorite Southern ingredients. Flavor-packed, stone ground corn grits, creamy, sharp buttermilk and, of course, bacon. The trifecta of flavor elevates the simplicity of each ingredient to a new, sophisticated level. Buttermilk adds an elusive edge of tang and the smoky bacon plays off it beautifully. Another reason I love this recipe … [Read more...] about Buttermilk Grits with Bacon Gravy

Southern Cornbread Chicken and Dressing with Gravy

March 30, 2014 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

My life sometimes requires comfort cooking.  Not comfort food, but comfort cooking, though the two are not mutually exclusive.  Comfort food for me is old classics that bring back happy memories, sometimes bittersweet, or that make a down day worthwhile.  Often, that means food prepared by someone other than me. Comfort cooking is me, in the kitchen, alone.  Usually silent … [Read more...] about Southern Cornbread Chicken and Dressing with Gravy

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.
