Here’s a real crowd pleaser. Apple Cranberry Slab Pie with pie dough from scratch. Flavors of cinnamon, cardamom, orange, nutmeg and vanilla intensify these old fashioned flavors. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/apple-cranberry-slab-pie/

Golden Cauliflower. On the way to making a soup, this happened. Turmeric Cauliflower Whole Roasted and it’s getting its own post. Rubbed with plenty of butter and sprinkled with turmeric, it’s gorgeous, and then easily cut into cauliflower steaks. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/roasted-whole-cauliflower/

I’m so happy with these Vintage Santa Paper Placemats from Hester & Cook. I paired with their red/stripe runner. So fun. Take notice of the white “Nashville” blanket I just picked up at my friend’s store Onyx & Alabaster. (not just a store, sophisticated interior designer). Both stores in historic downtown Franklin…The little town everyone loves to visit. Eat dinner at Gray’s (for delicious farm to table food). I recently ate there and was very surprised at how elevated the food was.

My pecan pie crust grain free is a big yes. I adapted filling for the pecan pie from All Day Long I Dream about Food. @fooddreamer Sugar free and grain free it’s a win, and It’s not sickening sweet which is why we love it. Put my stabilized whipped cream on all your desserts today. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/stabilized-whipped-cream-icing-recipe/

What makes this pumpkin pie just a little bit different is that it’s made without eggs, and very creamy. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/pumpkin-cream-cheese-tart-no-egg-recipe/

I grew up in Amish country in a fabulous and diverse mecca of classic comfort food. Central Pennsylvania was heavily settled by the folks who were and still are referred to as the Pennsylvania Dutch.

The word “dutch” was a corruption of the word Deutsch or German. They came either from Germany or the German speaking part of Switzerland and not from Holland. When they arrived in America they came with recipes for sausages, sauerkraut, noodles and dumplings.

Pennsylvania introduced them to regional foods that they welcomed into their kitchens and put their own spin to. Tomatoes, pumpkins, squash and corn were heartily embraced and mastered by the Amish and the Mennonites. As food cultures collided, a new generation of comfort food was born.. The Amish and Mennonites are referred to as the plain Pennsylvania Dutch and are most associated with dishes like corn pudding and corn pie. Baked corn pudding is generally made with eggs and milk and baked like a custard. My family always added a little cinnamon and vanilla, but still maintained a savory taste using salt and pepper. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/pennsylvania-dutch-baked-corn-pudding/

Shrimp with a simple yet spicy tomato butter sauce is easy cooking.Two Pantry items I always have on hand. Centro San Marzano Tomatoes and Frozen shrimp (flash frozen way better when you live in Nashville). This went on the blog two weeks ago and I forgot to let you know. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/shrimp-with-spicy-tomato-onion-butter-sauce/

We had much of the day to kill yesterday before our evening flight. We walked five miles around town, found a small farmer’s market, ❤️a giant amazing independent bookstore called Book People (where out of nostalgia I purchased a novel set in Naples), and found the perfect breakfast that also made golden lattes and the enchiladas I was craving. Not all avocado toast is created equal and I think Caroline sets the standard! Lots of citrus on that avo.

I didn’t have my heart in it to seek out the best food in Austin, but we managed to eat most delicious, because that’s how Austin rolls. Even the buffet hotel food at the Fairmount was on point.
I remember the last major death in my life. Hard to move. Almost a strange guilt for still pursuing life with passion. I know I know. It’s called grief, that strange state where one moment you want people around to talk to and one moment you want to be completely alone, wishing you could go back in time for just a day!

My friend Andrea of Nashville Made brought over two cooked chickens from Whole Foods after the passing of my mom. I took off the white meat, froze the dark, and made the darn best ever holiday chicken salad, which we ate for three days. I just happened to have rosemary, apples, pomegranate and celery on hand, and it turned out amazing. This would be so nice on a party table. On the side, serve Hawaiian rolls, crackers and some lettuce leaves. I used my favorite mayonnaise from Best Foods, made with avocado oil (no canola oil). If a friend experiences a death, it is the right and good thing to bring food. It means so much, and if you don’t have time, you can send a delivery. We were very blessed with food from friends. Also, talking not texting is healing. Grieving people need to talk, to share to reminisce as part of the process. Ask if you can call or just show up at the door like my friends did. One friend got the news and threw on old clothes and drove to my door. Feeling grateful, blessed to have the support we have been awarded. Flowers are nice too. Never a waste in my opinion. Even my workout place sent flowers, and it meant so much. Don’t feel awkward….just go and offer help. Weep with those who are weeping. The other side of that is blessing.

This post republished from four years ago today, is a must read. The recipe is great, but the tribute is greater. I had been asked by the Pork Board to write a post giving thanks to someone. I chose Retro Rose. Many of you know she passed away early Wednesday. Many recipes at Spinach Tiger were inspired by her or were her recipes. She was a pork chop lover, and comfort food was her thing. We surprised her and the boys made her a paper crown. (slide). Her friend played the violin and we sang Amazing Grace. This week I’ll continue to post. An excerpt from the post,
IN ITALY, THEY SAY THE SICILIANS HAVE THE WARMEST HEARTS
“She was often asked to pick up the elderly to drive them to church. In Italy they say, the Sicilians have the warmest hearts and the hottest tempers. Yes on both counts, although she’s slightly mellowed with age.
She get what she wants at the apartment complex where she lives, because she feeds the maintenance men, who also stop by to vacuum, empty the trash and sometimes help her clean her closets. They know she always has a pot of something on the stove, and it’s not uncommon for her to send dinner home with them for their families. She was the “young” one at her church (at 80) , where the elders called her to help with the seniors. At age 79 she had a job watching a woman with alzheimer’s and she was still often called upon to “senior sit” those who struggled with dementia.” If you worry about growing old, maybe change your mind about what that means. Mindset is everything. Go read the post. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/mustard-breaded-oven-fried-pork-chops/

This year will be difficult. My mother passed away a few days ago and I am republishing one of her signature recipes. Stove Top Candied Sweet Potatoes, has been known to grace many church potlucks, made with brown sugar, maple syrup, apple juice and oranges. I made her make them in front of me years ago, so I could actually get a recipe. She wasn’t a recipe cook. She didn’t need to be. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/retro-roses-legendary-stove-top-candied-sweet-potatoes/

Have you ever roasted a sugar pumpkin to eat as a side dish or appetizer. We had a similar dish served to us last week in Lexington, Kentucky at a restaurant called Middle Fork. I highly recommend a visit there if you’re in that area. This is so easy to do and there’s a blog post coming Sunday. 1/4 of this is only 6 net carbs and nutrient dense. Eat more pumpkin!!!! #https://spinachtiger.com/roast-pumpkin-recipe/
