As I begin writing this blog post, the first thing that pops into my head is Alan Jackson’s song, “Where I Come From.” That song is ever emblazoned on my mind. Several years ago, I was taking a cross-country road trip with a friend and it became the anthem for our drive, with such classic…

Meatballs!
It only took 101 episodes for me to get to my family’s recipe for Meatballs. Haha! To be honest, I had planned on doing this as one of the first recipes I made, but evidently, I got carried away with 100 other recipes. Do not let that diminish the fact that this is an amazing…

You know what’s quietly one of the most useful things in my spice cabinet? My homemade seasoned salt. I know, I know — it sounds almost too simple to bother with. But there’s a reason I stopped buying the stuff in the container with the red cap years ago… once you make your own, you…

Red, White and Blue Velvet Cupcakes
On July 4th, we celebrate America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence 242 years ago on July 4, 1776. I just love America and everything that goes along with this National holiday, like parades and fireworks and picnics and flags and, of course, all the great 4th of July themed foods. Hopefully these…
Tiny Kitchen Slider Sauce
Every great slider needs a great sauce… and this one is the reason people ask me what’s on the burger before they ask me what’s in the burger. It’s four ingredients, one small bowl, and about sixty seconds — and it tastes even better than the special sauce you’ve been trying to reverse-engineer from your…
