Recently some of my blogger friends have been complaining of being tired of their recipes and I have to admit, I am too. I wanted to create a new chicken recipe that had some zest, a bit of a kick, something different. This idea came to me in a moment of inspiration, and I tried …

Parsley New Potatoes with Sour Cream Sauce
I know I promised this recipe some time ago, and I am finally getting around to posting it. It goes great with my Panko Crusted Deviled Turkey, or the Butterflied Chicken, or even just a simple slice of ham. Actually, they are great with just about any entree. Best of all, they are easy, and …
Fresh Peach Coffee Cake
This year I was lucky enough to actually get a few peaches off my peach tree before the bears got them. They aren't the best kind of peaches, clingstones without a lot of peach flesh, but what can one expect from a wild peach? Still, that fresh peach flavor is wonderful and tastes of summer. …
Patriotic Cookout
It was raining on the 4th of July, and I had already invited friends over for a cookout. I decided to go ahead, but have the meal inside. So I set another Patriotic tablescape on the formal dining table. This time because we were inside, I used the red chargers on white Battenburg placemats, with …
Roasted Garlic Turkey Breast
Roasted Turkey Breast is a frequent meal around my house. Those half-breasts are often on sale at the local grocery store, and feed two nicely with some sandwich slices left over for taking to work for lunch the next day. It needs to have some stronger seasoning so it doesn't taste the same as the …
National Fried Chicken Day 2015
Ok, I’ll admit it. I am completely addicted to fried chicken. I could eat it everyday, if only my arteries could take it. The combination of delicate crunchy exterior and tender juicy chicken is happiness on a plate. Fried chicken was the comfort food of choice for my childhood years, and the very best was …
Red, White and Blue Luncheon
Spring and early summer in the mountains is a perfect time to have an outdoor party. Patriotic holidays dominate the summer months, so I decided to have a few friends over for a ladies cookout with a patriotic theme. It was lovely to spend the day with friends, in an easy manner, just chatting and …
Cranberry Vinegar
Vinaigrette salads have a whole new zing with a flavored vinegar I discovered a while ago. I was shopping at Biltmore Park in south Asheville, and came across a store called Oil and Vinegar. They have all kinds of flavored vinegars, and I immediately was captivated with the Cranberry one. I will bet you have …
Orange Vanilla Bean Coffee Cake
I have been working on this recipe for some time to have it come out moist and tender, with just the right balance of citrus to sweet. Lest you all think that these things come out perfect the first time, some of my attempts didn't go over well with my main recipe tester, DH. Last …
Oysters!
One of the best things about visiting the coast, is all the seafood you can eat. I love seafood especially shellfish, and spent the week eating as many oysters as I could, along with shrimp, scallops and crab too. The Pamlico Sound is home to a huge shellfish and fishing industry and I certainly wanted …
