Southern Blue Cheese Pecan Spread

September 13, 2015 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

The recipes requests I get most often from family, friends and readers are for appetizers – “something different, that I can make ahead.” I have developed a host of recipes over the years that fit the bill, but people still seem to want more.

I’m sticking to my simple comfort food theme here.  This recipe is no innovative or new, just simple delicious.  You’ll find similar versions in all sorts of community cookbooks I am sure.  It’s the type of 9 by 13 dessert you might take to a church social or a big family gathering.  The cake is delightfully moist and hearty with a nice caramel … [Read more...] about Caramel Oatmeal Cake with Broiled Frosting

Faced with an abundance of gorgeous peaches this year, I wanted to create a simple, cool dessert - perfect for hot days. Lightly sweet, fresh with peaches with the tang and … [Read more...] about Peach Bourbon Buttermilk Pudding with Candied Pecans

Bacon Fried Pecans

I don’t know who makes these decisions, but there is an endless list of “National Days” celebrating foods, dishes and ingredients.  I recently saw that it was National Pecan Month, so I thought I better pull out a preparation for the iconic Southern nut.  These are a salty, crunchy snack for the bar, or on top of a salad, and once again prove that everything is better with … [Read more...] about Bacon Fried Pecans

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.
