Shrimp with Corn and Herbs

Aug31

It’s the last day of August (sniffle!) and the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye, as they say. Everywhere I turn I see signs for sweet local corn, and so I am in major league use-it-or-lose-it mode. Same with the herbs growing merrily in my whiskey barrels, oblivious to the fact that frost is right around the corner.

So hang on to these last warm days of summer with my by making one of my easiest, most summery, most beloved recipes, which is shrimp with corn and herbs. Four ingredients. Ten minutes. Total supper happiness. Let’s make it!

Easy Steak au Poivre

Aug17

So here’s how this recipe for easy steak au poivre (otherwise known as steak with pepper) came about. We were ambling through a new supermarket near our house recently, and they have an enormous meat counter. And right in the center was a glorious display of pepper-crusted filet mignons, all ready for the cooking. I think the Southern husband actually got a little misty-eyed, and it got my competitive juices flowing, steak-wise.

So I picked up a couple of plain filet mignon steaks and decided I was going to one-up the supermarket steaks with a creamy, slightly boozy sauce to go along with the pepper crust. And let’s just say the Southern husband is cheery again. Ready to kick your steak up a notch? Let’s make it!

Cheesy Hash Brown Nests

Jul27

This recipe started out as a result of an overabundance of Yukon gold potatoes in my kitchen. With just the Southern husband and me in the house, I like to buy things by twos, but at some point our local market didn’t have loose Yukons. Nope, they only had them in the 5 pound bag, and I needed my Yukons, so I went for the five pound bag.

I finished making what I was making, and then I still had pounds of Yukons left over. And since we have a strict no ingredient left behind rule around these parts, I needed to get inventive…and so I bring you cheesy hash brown nests, which used up a pound of those Yukons and led to ALL kinds of Southern husband happiness. Got a pound of potatoes and a muffin tin? Let’s make them!

Mama’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Mar30

There is so much to love about this recipe for Mama’s Cream Cheese Pound Cake that I hardly know where to start! First and most importantly, it is coming to you not from my kitchen but from my friend Robyn’s…she is one of my best blogging friends and her beautiful Add A Pinch site has always been one of my inspirations. Second, it’s from her brand new, absolutely beautiful cookbook of delectable, easy Southern recipes, which I can’t stop reading over and over for all kinds of reasons (more on that below!). Third, I have three copies of this gorgeous, gorgeous cookbook to give away!

And last but certainly not least…this cake. Oh, this cake…a simple and simply scrumptious pound cake that was one of the first things Robyn learned to cook with her mama. It’s comfort food in cake form. It’s perfect. Let’s make it!

Spaghetti with Garlic Bread Crumb Wine Sauce

Mar9

Spaghetti with garlic bread crumb wine sauce is one of my favorite pasta recipes EVER, and every time I make this one the Southern husband and I look at each other and say, why don’t we make this more often? But absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I am VERY fond of how this looks, tastes, and is so very easy to throw together at the end of a long day. I need this. You need this. Let’s make it!
