Turnip Green Soup and Mexican Cornbread

Recipes

Dec 262011

I had a soup similar to this at TurnRow a few weeks ago. It was so delicious that I literally have thought about it every single day since then. It’s pouring rain today and I really wanted to put off undecorating so I got in the kitchen and whipped this up. It’s so good I can hardly stop eating long enough to type this. Turnip Green Soup with Ham and White Beans She may not be purdy, but she’s got a great personality. You need: 2 boxes chicken broth 2 cups of cooked greens (I’m using mustard greens because I [Read more...]

Jambalaya: Ayyyy-Eeeeee

Recipes

Nov 112011

I got this recipe out of one of Sister Wife’s cookbooks and tweaked it– you know how I do. I mean, we don’t really need four whole pounds of chicken and twelve cooked cups of rice, nor do I have a pot that would hold all of that. The original recipe serves 12-18 people and I’d say that’s being a little modest. But Sister Wife grew up down in Nawlins and on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and sister friend straight up knows a good Cajun recipe when she sees one. This is a great recipe to throw together with leftover [Read more...]

Jerk Pineapple Chicken

Recipes

Sep 282011

It’s been a while since I posted a recipe. Mostly because it’s been a while since I cooked something so delicious I was compelled to tell you about it. But last night I made Jerk Pineapple Chicken and it was amazing. My friend Peyton, who I love more than bacon, gave me the recipe and once you make this you are going to want to send her flowers. It’s so good. 1 package chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) or chicken tenderloins 1 can of pineapple tidbits, juice set aside 1/4 cup of soy sauce (I use gluten free) 1/2-1 teaspoon [Read more...]

The Best Brussel Sprouts (Inthehistoryoftheworld)

I feel bad for not sharing this recipe with y’all before now. It is amazing. I first saw Giada make these on the Food Network back when we lived right outside of Charleston, SC and I had access to things like prosciutto and a Whole Foods. *sigh* I kept making this recipe when we moved to Missersippi (*I know how to spell Mississippi. Shut up. I’m trying to help you.) but I used bacon instead. And let’s get real. Bacon is NEVER a bad substitute for anything. ANYWAY, I was making these sprouts like Giada told me to, parboiling and all but [Read more...]

Oven Fried Chicken

Recipes

Jan 222011

Sister Wife made this at one of our Daddyless Dinners (dinner with us and our 6 kids when our husbands are out of town for work.) I’ve been meaning to make it for months, and now that I’m on the straight and narrow as far as eating goes, I’ve been pulling out all the light’n’delish recipes I can find. This chicken is amazing. Every bit as good as fried chicken. No, really. I swear. I wouldn’t lie to you. Here’s what you do: You need boneless skinless chicken breasts OR tenderloins. (If you get breasts cut them in half, so [Read more...]

Oven Roasted Garlic Infused Olive Oil (Thanks Nana)

This recipe is so easy you literally will not believe me until you try it yourself. My next-door neighbor in Charleston used to make this and the only thing better than being in her kitchen while she was making it was when she would show up on my doorstep with an entire bottle just for me. My kids call her Nana, so I do too, and she is one of my very favorite people in the entire world. She was always showing up with platefuls of yummy food… *SIGH* You need: 1 ginormous bottle of extra-virgin olive oil (I don’t [Read more...]
