Oh boy do I miss a good Georgia peach. When they are ripe, they are perfect. Perfectly sweet. perfectly juicy. Just a slight firmness – in such a way that if you squeeze it too much, it will bruise between your fingers. I have been sitting on this post for a while. Although I [...]
If you aren’t from the south, Shrimp & Grits may sound a bit strange. Much like Chicken & Waffles. Yeah, it’s safe to say we do things a little differently. Although different, it is delicious and you won’t get much better than this. You want to give it a try? Unbelievable simple, down home and [...]
Hop on a plane – or drive down the street – and visit Trattoria Centrale in Birmingham, Alabama for their BLT pizza. Why? Because it made Food Network Magazine’s list of the best 50 pizzas in the nation. Very simple and clean with just five total ingredients (2 of them cheeses), this one was tasty. [...]

Eggs Benedict is sort of a mystery to me. Not something I usually eat – mainly because of the amount of yolks I have to consume – I was truly intrigued by how to make it. Not to mention, I fantasize every now and then about being on cooking shows, and this seems to be something that [...]
What happens when you put almost everything you love on a pizza? You get a darn good pie. What you don’t see in the name is that I also put tomato slices and garlic on it. In the words of Rachael Ray: Yummo!Instead of a traditional red sauce, I used pesto. Then I topped it [...]
So the quest continues. Not to say that the Gouda Mac and Cheese was a bust, far from it. But since it is a quest, I must keep going! I was going to go all classic on you guys for the next one, you know…family friendly, nothing but a cheddar cheese sauce and some noodles. [...]
