Many years ago, The Boy and I found a blackberry thicket. It got me thinking about making a blackberry cobbler but I had no recipe (I do now!). I looked around online and through a few books but nothing looked like my Granny’s cobbler. Now I’m not a baker. Baking is science, y’all. With regular cooking, there’s a little… Read More A Happy Accident – Cinnabiscuits
My son started working at his first job this past summer. Following in his dad’s footsteps, he took a food service job working at a throwback burger joint. He’s not old enough to work the griddle or fryer (thank goodness!) but learned to make a mean milkshake and mop a floor. He worked a LOT… Read More When Cravings Attack: Chili Cheese Hot Dogs

Those early bedtimes meant that we had to get dinner, homework and bathtime done really quickly in the evenings so I totally got into those quick meals.

None of them are huge feta fans, but when you roast it, the texture… Read More Grilled Feta with Honey and Za’atar
So I’ve told you all about Porkstravaganza, right? It’s our big pork-themed party we’ve done for years. A few years ago, Chef J vetoed my rib recipe because he wanted to make some big Italian meatfest that also included ribs. I was bummed to miss out on making our Ribs of Fury for all of… Read More Porkstravaganza – Ribs of Fury
Ah, Hanukkah. That most festive of Jewish holidays. Now, I know some of y’all may think it’s “Jewish Christmas,” but you really couldn’t be farther from the truth. Although it does typically fall close to Christmas, it is not traditionally a gift giving holiday except in the U.S. and certainly not a major holiday (no… Read More Tradition! Potato Latkes
