When I was a kid my mom used to make fried chicken. It wasn’t like the greasy fried chicken that we saw at picnics every summer, but instead a rich and simple dish that she always served with my favorite foods – mashed potatoes, baked corn, and even simple stuffing. As I got older, this… Continue reading Mom’s Fried Chicken

Pizza Casserole – and a Valentine’s Twist
I used to cook for a 4-H camp, and spaghetti was something that was a regular part of the menu – only the kids didn’t like it. It’s hard to make spaghetti for 150 with only two burners and not have worm-like noodles, so instead I used rotini and baked it with cheese and pepperoni… Continue reading Pizza Casserole – and a Valentine’s Twist

Layered Nacho Taco Salad
Sometimes it’s just too hot to cook. While the temps haven’t really soared yet, it definitely feels hotter here in the Carolinas than it did just last week. The humidity level has shot up and we’ve had lots of outdoor commitments – and most of them have been all day and in the sun. I… Continue reading Layered Nacho Taco Salad
Ham, Green Beans, & Potatoes
This is an incredibly simple meal that apparently people don’t make here in the South. It reminds me of home, though, of the farms and the Amish and the mountains of Pennsylvania, and it’s a great way to use leftover ham. I love this meal because it’s fairly healthy and incredibly easy to pull together… Continue reading Ham, Green Beans, & Potatoes
