Description:

Roasted Cauliflower and Fennel SoupWe re just back from a two-week stay in Provincetown, Massachusetts at the tip of Cape Cod. We made the trek up the east coast, canine kids in tow, in two days. Following the Halloween festivities on Saturday, we made the trip back to Atlanta. Being our first long road trip with the dogs, I m pleased to say that with a car packed to the gills, Greeley, Olive, and Milo made the trip like real champs. [Read More ]Smoky and Sweet Turkey Chili {+ a Cookbook Giveaway}It was a special weekend morning when my mother would wake us up to a breakfast of pancakes. Knowing that she had a voracious eater on her hands, she d take out her griddle and whip up a double batch of batter, knowing that it would take at least a couple of stacks to satisfy my appetite. I d slather my pancakes with melted butter and syrup from a brown bottle in the shape of a woman.Mrs. Butterworth s was my favorite syrup, but at the time, I had no idea that it was corn syrup with any number of artificial preservatives and flavors. All my 10-year-old self knew was that it tasted good. It wasn t until years later that I discovered the joys of real maple syrup. It s now my choice for either sweet or savory recipes that require a sweetener. [Read More ]Black-Eyed Pea and Collard Stew with Turkey SausageMy grandmother s screened back porch was an adjunct to the kitchen. A red and white plastic gingham tablecloth covered a wooden table that served as overflow refrigerator space during cold weather months. I d frequently see an apple pie, coconut cake, or some such dessert stored there. A white wicker rocker with a thick cushion sat in the corner, and an antique butter churn used for fermenting cabbage for sauerkraut occupied space by the door.During the summer months of my childhood, many Southern folks were busy putting up food for the winter. Mature gardens yielded way more food than could be eaten, so tomatoes, peas, butter beans, green beans, beets, and cucumbers were frozen or canned and put away for cold weather.

Who came up with the idea that spoiled milk in the form of yogurt was a good idea? Why would someone risk their life to eat a fungus that could potentially kill them? How did they figure out which ones were safe to eat and which ones were lethal? I'm not sure who figured out the mushroom thing, but I'm sure glad they did.Lately, I've been on a shiitake kick. I always like these mushrooms in a Read MoreRoasted Acorn Squash and Brussels Sprouts SaladWhen we remodeled our house four years ago, I dedicated a large kitchen cabinet for cookbooks. At the time, my collection all but filled the space. Over the last few years, my obsession with buying cookbooks and food magazines has the cabinet bulging at the seams. Many of the books get a quick look and become lost in the collection. Others keep my attention and end up with dog-eared pages and grease spots.We were in New York for a wedding last year around Christmas. We made a stop in Eataly, Read MoreRoasted Winter Squash Soup with Candied Ginger and Coconut MilkYears ago, I spent a month in Nepal trekking around Mt. Everest, so for obvious reasons, I was excited to see Everest, the movie. Right off the bat, let me say that I can be a little bit of a ditz. About three weeks ago, I saw a blurb about the movie and thought I read that it opened that day. I promptly signed on to Fandango and bought tickets for Friday night.Jim and I made it to the theatre promptly at 7:30 for the 8:00 movie. When the ticket taker scanned our tickets, they were rejected, Read MoreMediterranean Garbanzo Bean SoupYesterday was one of those cool, gray, drizzly days that make you want to stay in and cook a big pot of soup, so I seized the opportunity and did just that. Being married to an Italian, I have to cater regularly to his taste buds, so what better type of soup to prepare than a Mediterranean one?Santa Claus brought me an electric pressure cooker a couple of years ago, and since then I've become a big proponent of cooking under pressure. Almost every week, I cook dried beans of some kind. For Read MoreKale-Sweet Potato Salad with Cornbread Croutons and Crispy ShallotsI usually associate salads with summer and warm weather. After all, a salad can be very cooling on a hot, sweltering Atlanta day, and there have been plenty of those days this year. We're finally getting a break from 90+ degree days with mornings in the high 50s and highs of low 80s. Those crystal clear days with low humidity always signal the start of fall.I eat salads all year round, and as fall approaches, I like to trade summer salad ingredients with fall flavors. I was in the mood for Read MoreCreamy Roasted Garlic VinaigretteHave you ever read the labels on popular store-bought salad dressings? I always look at ingredients in the products that I buy, and I find it a little scary to read the long list of unnatural ingredients I see on salad dressing labels. I always go for brands that only include all natural ingredients, but those dressings are usually pretty pricey.Today, I'm making the case for preparing your own salad dressing. With a base of good quality olive oil and your favorite vinegar, the flavor Read MorePumpkin Biscuit Cinnamon RollsI may be jumping the gun a bit with this post. I know fall hasn't officially arrived yet, but I'm ready for some fall flavors. It's always interesting to observe how my cravings follow the change of seasons. During warm weather seasons, I'm drawn to lighter fare, like salads, veggies, chicken, and fish. Cooler weather finds me craving soups, stews, and casseroles. Read MoreSalmon Burgers with Pickled Onion and Lemon Garlic MayoAs a child, I always got excited about burgers. Whenever it was burger night during the summer, my parents ceded grill duty to me. Being the budding epicure that I was at the time, I'd practice meticulous grilling techniques, making sure the charcoals burned just the right amount of time to avoid flare-ups. I'd flip the burgers with perfect timing, so they had prominent grill marks, but were never overdone. When everything was off the grill and on the table, I'd quickly inhale two burgers Read MorePizza MargheritaThe end of summer is closing in, and I'm desperately trying to ingest as many local, organic tomatoes as I possibly can. I eat tomatoes all year round, but supermarket tomatoes pale in comparison to the ones I get at my neighborhood farmer's market. One of the farmers grows at least seven or eight varieties, and he can tell you details about the flavor profile of each one and offer the perfect use for them.These tomatoes are so beautiful that I can't resist getting some of each type. One of Read MorePita Pockets with Lobster Tarragon SaladWe've traveled to many places around the globe, and Provincetown, Massachusetts on the tip of Cape Cod is still our favorite of all vacation spots. In fact, we'd like to live there part-time at some point in our lives.We've spent many summer vacations in P'town, but this fall, we're taking a two-week road trip there, three dogs in tow, for a couple of weeks. While we're there, we're going to work, shop for groceries, cook, and see what it's like to actually live there. We've only been to Read MoreView More Posts Leave this field empty if you're human: Hello, my name is Bill and welcome to Southern Boy Dishes. My relationship with food started many years ago.
