Smoky Bacon Corn Casserole

July 9, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

I love, love, love a creamy summer corn casserole (or corn pudding).

Twist up the ingredients on a classic recipe and you end up with a whole new experience. … [Read more...] about Smoky Bacon Corn Casserole

Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Risotto

January 1, 2023 by TheRunawaySpoon 2 Comments

Risotto is comfort food for me. Once I discovered how easy it is to make at home, it became one of my favorite meals to make as a special treat for myself, in many forms.

Hot Honey Brown Butter Sweet Potatoes

November 21, 2021 by TheRunawaySpoon Leave a Comment

Sweet potatoes are an absolute staple on the southern Thanksgiving table, and the general preference seems to be for very sweet sweet potatoes. I’ve never been a big fan of the marshmallow topped variety, but I do go for Candied Sweet Potatoes with Pecan Streusel or a casserole with cider, maple and orange. A few years ago, I veered over to the savory side (to … [Read more...] about Hot Honey Brown Butter Sweet Potatoes

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.
