Our culinary diary
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I've never made scalloped potatoes before today. Maybe that's not that weird for most, but growing up my mother made them at least a few a month, and they're one of my favorite side dishes. I wish I had my mother's recipe, but she didn't include that one... Continue Reading →
South Carolina is known for many dishes in the world of all things culinary. Favorites include low country boils, boiled peanuts, shrimp & grits, sweet tea, cornbread, and of course... pimento cheese! South Carolinians seem use a fair amount of mayonnaise in their pimento cheese, but instead of Duke's or Kraft's mayo we made garlic truffle aioli.... Continue Reading →
Winter is coming. It comes slowly to South Carolina, but it's been below freezing the past few nights and the high today was only 35. For South Carolina, that's basically the equivalent of spending a few days north of the wall. (And if you don't get that reference, you should go binge-watch Game of Thrones.... Continue Reading →
Last night was had Friendsgiving with our eight of our good friends. It was a great night to spend with some of our favorite people, pretend we're grownups, and experiment with some Thanksgiving recipes. I don't know about y'all, but my grandmothers, aunts, and mother have the handle on the main aspects of big family... Continue Reading →

I haven't the slightest clue how many extended relatives I have beyond that, but it's a lot and I know many of them. But the... Continue Reading →
I don't know about y'all, but I feel like lunch is kind of a struggle meal. I want to have something that tastes good, is easy to make, is portable to work/school, is pretty healthy, and keeps me full until dinner. That's doable, but sometimes is just a little boring. Lunch just isn't an exciting... Continue Reading →
For those who don't know, raita is a very versatile Indian yogurt dip/sauce. A dollop on top of spicy hot dishes cools them right off. Naan dipped in raita makes delicious naan even better. I say versatile because raita basically is a blank canvas that can be modified in a million different ways. You start... Continue Reading →
When I was in college, my younger sister found this ridiculous t-shirt with a cow and a pig dancing on the front that says, "I love carbs!" Which was made slightly less ridiculous, because I really, really do. I wore that shirt proudly 😉 I need to resurrect it to wear while whipping up these... Continue Reading →
Have you been introduced to zoodles, the semi-recent food craze and healthy-eater favorite? I love these spiralized "noodles" of zucchini. We've made several dishes with them, and I think they work great as a noodle or grain substitute if you're into that kind of thing. What I don't think however, is that they are "just...
