How to Make Homemade Chive Flower Vinegar for a Chive Champagne Vinaigrette
I am eating a special organic green salad five days in a row now, all made with a chive vinaigrette made with my homemade chive flower vinegar. This is odd considering I don’t like anything resembling onions in my salad. When I was a little girl, my family switched the way they made green salad…

Apple bacon jam, served in a mason jar, or as the secret ingredient in a savory dish. Who knew? I came upon this little treat quite by accident. It’s Part I of the Creative Cooking Club March Challenge. We were given four ingredients to make a dish and I wasn’t exactly thrilled, I must admit….
Old Fasioned Sour Cream Sugar Cookies with Pink Candy Corn and Peanuts

The Biscuit Love Truck in Nashville
Can I brag for a moment about Nashville? I have been to two street food festivals in San Francisco with foodbuzz. I know what fantastic street food is and I’m just going to say it. Nashville is on par with the west coast street food scene. After eating from about 40 different food trucks in…
Vanilla Buttermilk Pie with Pears and Backing Up Your Blog
Buttermilk pie is a brand new dessert for me. I had no idea that such a thing even existed, but the folks here in the South know how to use buttermilk. They fry chicken in it. They make pancakes and biscuits with it. And, of course, they make red velvet cake over and over again….
