This is a tale of four foods, each one very different from the next. When standing alone, they exhibited noble and tempting qualities, but fell short of their true potential. Iceberg lettuce, while crisp and refreshing, was a bit watered down – diluted. The tomatoes were easy on the eyes, with their varied colors and spherical form, but lacked substance …
Texture is one of the fundamental elements that make up a good meal. Texture adds dimension and intrigue to each bite, peaking the curiosities of your mouth. For me, Israeli couscous delivers in the texture department every time, offering little balls of pasta that are silky, smooth and round. Coupled with crisp asparagus, peas just waiting to be popped and …
My sister and I recently had the privilege of attending a dinner hosted by Kentucky CommonGround. Armed with the mission to start a conversation between women who grow food and women who buy it, Kentucky CommonGround ensured that my sister and I were in for quite a treat. Over a dinner filled with Kentucky proud ingredients, we engaged in dynamic and open conversation about …
Any good Southern family has a recipe for pimento cheese tucked away in their cupboard, handed down generation after generation. For me, the very best pimento cheese comes from Aunt Lindsey and Uncle David’s kitchen.

And they do need help, as pork on its own can be very mild and a bit bland. A sprinkle of herbs de Provence and a drizzle of rich and creamy camembert sauce give this …
I absolutely love having friends and family over for dinner. I look forward to it like a child looks forward to Christmas morning. I’ll spend the weeks leading up to the dinner making list after list (I’m a self-declared list-making addict), processing my thoughts, playing with different menu ideas and driving my husband crazy with ‘what do you think about…’ …
Who doesn’t like macaroni and cheese? I mean really – gooey, creamy cheese melted over noodles and baked until bubbly and warm – it’s really a no-brainer. It was only until recently that I started to play around with macaroni and cheese and began to discover how malleable it is. Change the cheese and you’ve got a whole new version …
