Slow Cooker Sorghum Sweet Potatoes

November 19, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

Sweet potatoes are an absolutely essential part of Thanksgiving. I love a good sweet potato casserole, both the mashed version and a sliced version.

Hoppin’ John is a traditional southern dish of rice and black-eyed peas traditionally served on New Year’s Day to guarantee prosperity in the new year.

Southern Baked Shelly Beans

July 21, 2013 by The Runaway Spoon 2 Comments

  My go to baked bean dish for many years has been my Brilliant Baked Beans made with a variety of canned beans.  And I love those beans.  But eventually, I started fiddling around with dried beans to recreate memories of New England style baked beans I’d enjoyed when I lived in the area.  I like those too.  Then I started to find fresh shelly beans and October beans at … [Read more...] about Southern Baked Shelly Beans

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.
