Last night, two new recipes got the THK treatment, and I am happy to report they both came out well. I first tried my hand at jalapeno poppers. I only just tried this bar snack about 3 years ago – I was always pulled in the direction of mozzarella sticks or potato skins – but…

Ricotta and Rosemary Mashed Potatoes
Tonight I made three quick changes to my mashed potatoes: Instead of red potatoes, I used yukon gold. I love the skin on the red ones, so they’re great for smashed potatoes when the slightly tougher skin mixes in for extra texture. Tonight, however, I wanted super smooth taters and the yukon golds break down…

Spiced Squash in Yogurt Dressing with Pomegranate Seeds
I finally found a butternut squash recipe I really love. I know butternut squash is one of those Fall foods that everyone just adores. People await butternut squash soup season like the men at home look forward to deer hunting season. I, on the other hand, think it’s just ok and not something I usually…

Mushroom and Egg Toast
I don’t usually make myself breakfast but today I wanted to give myself a nice little jump start so I tried out a new recipe. I decided to adapt the mushroom toast dish I tried over the Summer at Tipsy Parson. Instead of potato bread, I used toasted country bread that I topped with fresh…

Wild Mushroom Soup
Monday was not my most glorious day at work, and when I got home I was anxious to the max. Since a meal can not be made out of Ben and Jerry’s alone (though I tried, believe me, and creme brulee was my poison of choice), I decided to do a little cooking. I made…

Spaghetti Squash Casserole
Last night I tried out a new recipe: spaghetti squash casserole. I’m no stranger to squash casserole – it was a staple that graced my Southern table at least every other week growing up and one that I re-create often now that I keep a home of my own. While perusing Pinterest, I spotted this…

Spinach Burgers
Tonight I went all vegetarian and made a spinach burger. Not a burger topped with spinach, a burger made of spinach. I sautéed spinach with onion and then mixed in a bowl with egg, breadcrumbs, shredded cheese, and spices (cumin, nutmeg, and red pepper flakes). Once combined, I formed the spinach mixture into patties and…

Gobble Gobble 2011
As usual, blogging has taken a backseat to family time while I was home for Thanksgiving. Now that I’m back and attempting to reacclimate myself to normal life, it’s time for a Thanksgiving post. The usual suspects for the main meal were all there, but what changed were the appetizers. For the fourth year in…

Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches
My brother doesn’t cook all too often, but when he gets a dish on the brain, he’ll get into the kitchen and throw all his weight behind it. The last time I was home, his dish du jour was a buffalo chicken sandwich. My bubba got behind the stove and prepped sandwiches for the whole…

Asparagus with Peas and Honey
Last night I tried a new side dish that featured some gorgeous Spring vegetables…even though it’s the middle of Fall. When I found this recipe, I knew I didn’t want to wait for the ground to thaw before I could try it. The vegetables were still very flavorful so I recommend making it soon, even…
