Broiled Flank Steak with Red Onion Marmalade is an easy a fast dinner dish. It's a great weeknight dinner or company dish! Flank steak with a sweet/sour red onion marmalade is an excellent recipe! I don't know if you knew this about me or not...but I cook a lot. And in cooking a lot, there are not a lot of dishes that I make more than once or twice. I just don't have that ...

Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers with Red Onion Marmalade
Memorial Day weekend for many is the rope drop for Summer. I don't even have to look at the calendar to know when Memorial day weekend is, I can tell it's close by the throngs of cars parked on the side of the road by the creek just above me. Come Memorial Day, screams of terror followed by a loud splash fill my yard as teenager after teenager jump off J.H. Barber bridge. And ...
Spicy Black Eye Pea Salad
I consider myself a good Southerner and I tend to stick to tradition as much as anyone when it comes to welcoming in a new year. I never hang up my new calendar for the new year until January 1st ( much to my daughter's chagrin) and I always eat my black eye peas on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. That's not to say that I get up and particularly look forward to eating a big ...
Country Garden Update and Cilantro Lime Grilled Chicken Salad
So 3 weeks of rain was followed by 5 days of searing heat, then... more rain. All of this wishy washy weather has been reeking havoc upon our allergies but the garden doesn't seem to mind much. Especially the broccoli and lettuce. We have been eating off of those plants for the last week or so. Especially the lettuce. I have certainly been adding more fiber in my diet. The ...
Lemon Roasted Chicken Drummies

Rainy days do have up sides. My garden certainly appreciates the rain and being stuck inside means that I am forced to do some cleaning. Not to mention rainy days are my ...
Phyllo Wrapped Pork with Apple-Thyme Chutney
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and right now we are up to our eyeballs in Valentine's cards for 14 preschoolers. We have been cutting, gluing, sticking stickers, and writing our names for a couple of days now. The end result is eventually going to be 24 handmade butterfly Valentine's. Aren't they cute?! (I found the print out for them here if you are interested ...
Tuna Panzanella Salad
If any of you follow me on Twitter, you already know what I have been up to for the last week. I have been knee deep in sick kids since last Monday. I won't elaborate too much ( although I could but this is a food blog and bodily functions are not the most appetizing conversations), but let's just say that I have run out of towels 3 times in the last week and it wasn't because ...
Steak with Red Onion Marmalade and Piano Red
So date night was awesome! We saw some great live music in honer of Piano Red aka "Dr. Feelgood .( that's this guy here) He wrote Mr. Moonlight ( yes, the Beatles covered that) and The Right String but the Wrong Yo-Yo. Not only did we hear some great songs from Terry Adams and Scott Ligon, but we also got to see Piano Red's nurse, that's right - his nurse, bring down the ...
