Make Your Own Self-Rising Flour
The 1st time I purchased Self Rising Flour was to make Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes. Then I moved to The South. And tarted eating a lot of Buttermilk Biscuits! When making Biscuits, you should really be using White Lily Flour. Because that is just the way it is done. BUT when you don’t have Self Rising…

Hooray! It’s that time of year when berries are in season! Right now, a pint of Blueberries is only $1 at Kroger (as opposed to $4-5 during the winter). Luckily, berries freeze well, so it’s a good time to stock up. By comparison, the same amount of “Kroger brand” blueberries bought in the freezer section…
Playing in the Kitchen: Chili Colorado #CincoDeMayo
When I saw an article on Bon Appetit called Chili Colorado is the Greatest Recipe Of All Time last month, I pinned it for later. Usually skeptical of anything touted “of all time,” I’ve had success with Bon Appetit recipes in the past. And this particular magazine seems to have the right balance of taking…
Playing in the Kitchen: THE Banana Bread
This is my family’s new go-to Banana bread recipe. Since I was a kid, we had always defaulted to The Fannie Farmer Cookbook version of Banana bread. It is quick, made from ingredients we had on hand, and didn’t require a stand mixer. But the bottom always over cooked by the time the center was done….
Playing in the Kitchen: Pecan Pie
Fall is officially here! I’m so excited! And it means I should start digging up (and posting) some of my go-to Seasonal Recipes… like a Classic Pecan Pie! So there are at least 8 different ways to pronounce this type of pie… to me it is: [pi:kn] with stress on the second syllable (“pee-KAHN”). Actually…
Save The Tomato Juice… Make Tomato Water?
I’m not crazy. I just can’t stand wasting things. This summer, I’ve been lucky enough to peel and chop up a lot of tomatoes from Dad’s garden. Most have been made into bruschetta, where I seed (remove seeds and goo) before I chop. The whole cutting process leaves a lot of juice on the board……
Playing in the Kitchen: My Favorite Bruschetta
If you’re lucky, summertime means fresh tomatoes from the garden! If you don’t have a garden/green thumb, maybe you have family or neighbors who do. Your local Farmers Market is probably bursting at the seams with tomatoes, too. I’m a little finicky and don’t really like biting into a tomato like and apple… I like…
Playing in the Kitchen: Toasted Coconut Pecan Treats
Crispy treats seem to be the name of the game this week. First I see Jeff make some goo-balls on Chopped All Stars … then Bakerella posts her version hours later, which were inspired by these treats at Smitten Kitchen. They have reminded me of the cereal treats I made for edible gifts last Christmas…
Easter Lunch- Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Strawberries
My neighbor invited me over for East lunch and served this Southern Living Pork Tenderloin. It was delicious! Ever since I tried the Alton Brown Pork Tenderloin, I’ve been hooked on the grilling method for this cut of meat. Another recipe to add to my arsenal! Print Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Strawberries Prep Time 15…
