Steak and Blue Cheese Tailgate Sandwiches

September 8, 2024 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I have admitted before that I know nothing about football and that I have never tailgated. But I do know food, so the whole concept is no mystery to me. Hearty and fun, and easily transportable. And pretty good with a beer.  These steak sandwiches fit the bill, great for tailgating because they are versatile. You can prepare all the elements a day ahead, assemble the … [Read more...] about Steak and Blue Cheese Tailgate Sandwiches

Whipped Feta with Za’atar Roasted Tomatoes

July 23, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Summer is all about casual entertaining for me. It’s too hot and too busy to be hosting elaborate dinner parties. I love drop-in, come as you are drinks or cook-outs, or the cold supper.

It’s not quite time for soup and stew season and still nice enough to eat outdoors. I love a big platter salad for communal friend and family eating. It’s beautiful to present and everyone … [Read more...] about Steak House Platter Salad

Savory Vidalia Onion Upside Down Cakes

I’ve never been completely sure what to title this recipe. They are more than muffins, but this is based on an old recipe I found in an English cookbook where they were called dumplings, but I don’t really think that translates. There’s a biscuit-y batter, but turn them upside down and there is a pretty and sweet onion surprise. Muffins, cakes, dumplings, upside down surprise, … [Read more...] about Savory Vidalia Onion Upside Down Cakes

Roasted Onion Dip

April 1, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

Onion dip is a perennial favorite. From my high school days of powdered soup mix and sour cream or the convenience store tubs that found their way into the college dorm fridge, I have always had a soft spot for the creamy, savory classic – particularly with salty ridged chips. I’ve grown up though, and now I make my own fresh spin. I absolutely love a dip made with sweet and … [Read more...] about Roasted Onion Dip

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.
