I finally got around to making poblano souffles again. And it totally worked.

Simple salad uses up summer cucumbers

True confession: Despite growing up with ready access to my grandparents’ South Mississippi farm, I never learned to like cucumbers. Plates of cucumber slices would appear on the table throughout the summer, and I carefully avoided them. I eventually learned that cucumbers were delicious alongside other foods. First, a high school friend made me a [...]
Learning to love coleslaw

True confession: I didn’t eat coleslaw for nearly 30 nears. For someone who grew up in the South, that’s quite an accomplishment. The coleslaw I remember from my childhood was a gloppy, mayonnaise-laden mixture that I could not imagine eating. For one thing, it was incredibly crunchy, although I can’t tell you precisely WHY that [...]
As Pictured Below: Pump up the jam

The first CSA delivery of the season contained a ridiculously large basket of strawberries, so I needed a quick way to use a lot of them. I remember jam-making and jelly-making as a hot, time-consuming process, but I also remember my grandmother switching to the easier “freezer jam” method at some point, so I don’t [...]
Useful unitaskers: rare, but invaluable

Today, a friend sent me a link to Unclutterer, a blog about getting organized. The posts preach minimalism: the less stuff you own, the less stuff you have to organize. Every Wednesday the site mocks “unitaskers,” items that only serve one function while taking up valuable space. These products are often the worst of the [...]
Sweet alternative for using sweet potatoes

True confession: I have never liked sweet potato casserole, that impostor of a side dish that shows up on the table every year at Thanksgiving. It always seemed more fitting as a dessert, but it in no way could compare to the pecan, egg custard or chocolate pie that sat in the kitchen waiting for [...]
When salad became more than iceberg lettuce

I still remember the moment I discovered that salad could mean something more than iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and dressing. I was at a fancy mountainside restaurant in Birmingham, Ala., with my future husband, probably around 1995, when the waiter brought out our small starter salads. They were filled with … leaves. And no hint [...]
