Savory Vidalia Onion Upside Down Cakes

May 20, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

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

Buttermilk Braised Pork Roast

April 8, 2018 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Comfort food is universal. Well flavored, simple dishes transcend cultures, regions and time. No matter where you are, you recognize the dishes that reach into your memories and experiences. This dish is like that for me. It had an immediate familiarity, though I’d never had it before. It’s that sense of slow-cooked flavor and rich, creamy sauce and tender pork I recognized.

Pumpkin Popovers with Sage Browned Butter Spread

November 12, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Sometimes, there is so much prep for a Thanksgiving meal, that the bread basket is left as an afterthought. But I think that is a shame, because there is a lot of scope in a simple bread. I’ve traditionally gone full Southern with Pumpkin Sage Biscuits or Sweet Potato Angel Biscuits. This time however, I am inspired by my sister-in-law, who makes great popovers, and she has … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Popovers with Sage Browned Butter Spread

Creamy Gorgonzola One Pot Pasta

January 1, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

The one pot pasta trend has been all over the internet for a while now. The idea is appealing – just one pot to clean with a complex pasta result. I’ve had some hits and misses, but landed on this as a delicious, creamy treat packed with tangy flavor. These recipes are often touted as quick, hands off meal. I don’t find that to be particularly true. You need to stir the pasta … [Read more...] about Creamy Gorgonzola One Pot Pasta

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.
