Chocolate "Frosty" Ice Cream

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Wed, 23 May 2012 05:26:00 +0000

A quick and easy ice cream using chocolate milk, or Yoo-hoo chocolate drink, with sweetened condensed milk, chocolate syrup, and a small tub of Cool Whip. It tastes remarkably similar to those Wendy's Frosty milk shakes we all love. Chocolate "Frosty" Ice Cream I'm gonna tell you a secret. Like with iced tea, we Deep South Southerners never really stop eating ice cream. Even north Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama get a little bit of a winter most years, but except for a...

A simple and classic fruit salad made with mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, marshmallows, sweetened coconut, maraschino cherries and dressed with sour cream.

Fresh Peach Sweet Iced Tea

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Thu, 17 May 2012 12:42:00 +0000

Sweet southern iced tea enhanced with a puree of fresh peaches and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Fresh Peach Sweet Iced Tea It's gettin' to be southern peach time and we've got the early Georgia peaches already showing up in our markets down here in south Mississippi. The first batch I picked up were nice and ripe and supremely juicy, so I thought it'd be a good time to use some for peach tea. I love a good iced tea and for a change, all manner of fruited iced teas, with...

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Mon, 14 May 2012 18:25:00 +0000

This nicely seasoned jambalaya, a rice-based dish similar to a low country purlow, starts with the classic trinity of vegetables, contains bacon, spicy andouille smoked sausage, and cubes of pork loin, and is baked to a fluffy perfection. Pork and Sausage Jambalaya We enjoy jambalaya year round down here along the coast because it's a perfect party dish and take-along for picnics, reunions and those potluck gatherings that still remain popular in the south. Sort of a deep south take on...

Cherry limeade, made with lemon-lime soda, cherry syrup, a splash of maraschino cherry juice, and fresh squeezed lime juice, is a refreshing and delicious summer drink. Cherry Limeade After that nice little cool spell we had, it sure has warmed up here in a hurry on the Coast. And with all that rain, it's left behind a lot of humidity. Already. Perfect weather for one or three of these. The homemade sno-cone syrup I shared recently is what I use to make these, and while I am not even...

Lady cream peas, seasoned with smoked meat, onion, garlic and fresh herbs, served with a side of cornbread and pictured here, with broiled chicken. Southern Style Lady Cream Peas Even though white beans and red beans and rice are common weekly features here in the Deep South, I love beans of all kinds, and all I need is a good rainy day like we had yesterday to have an excuse to make some, no matter the temperature outside. Most often served as a side dish to other foods, southern peas are...

A quick, easy and delicious no-cook pizza sauce made with a tomato paste base and a nice blend of seasonings and herbs. Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce We had homemade pizza Friday and of course I used my favorite thin and crispy crust recipe. I have nothing against home delivery of pizza, and even deli or frozen pizza - not one iota. We enjoy them all ourselves at one time or another, but this dough comes together so quick and easy that you can literally be eating pizza faster than you can run...

Shepherd's Pie

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 06:59:00 +0000

American Shepherd's Pie, known elsewhere as Cottage Pie, is a great way to use up both leftover vegetables and mashed potatoes. Shepherd's Pie What a gorgeous few days it has been down here in South Mississippi, and while it's a tiny bit cooler for a couple of days, I'm gonna sneak this Shepherd's Pie in real quick while I can. I actually made it a couple weeks back when I shared it with a few folks who were asking for my recipe, but then it got kinda hot early, so I...

Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs

Baby back ribs, rubbed with a mixture of spices and herbs, brushed with your favorite barbecue sauce, and cooked to perfection - in your crockpot! Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs I love pork ribs no matter how you make them. Smoked from my favorite BBQ joint, baked in the oven and fall off the bone, full out grilled from start to finish or started in the oven and finished on the grill. Hang around long enough and I'll probably do a pressure cooked rib here soon, which is pretty much steaming,...

Homemade Sno-Cone Syrup

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:20:00 +0000

Homemade snowball syrup is as easy as a simple syrup made from boiled sugar and water and a package of your favorite flavor of unsweetened, powdered Kool-Aid mix. Homemade Sno-Cone Syrup Yes, I know it's not exactly summer quite yet, but we're kinda stuck with that in-between wacky weather season right now. For instance, yesterday it was so hot and humid here it might as well have been mid-summer. At the same time, I heard the weatherman say nighttime temperatures are forecast to...

Lemon Icebox Pie

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 18:56:00 +0000

Lemon Icebox Pie made with sweetened condensed milk, whipped topping, fresh lemon juice and zest, gets an extra tangy boost from the addition of a lemonade powdered drink mix. Lemon Icebox Pie The old fashioned version of lemon icebox pie used raw egg yolks in the filling. I've included that version in the cook's notes at the bottom of the recipe for those of us who are still adventurous enough to make it. It is believed that the combination of the acids with the eggs in the pie...

A delicious potato casserole, using both leftover vegetables and ham, baked in a creamy cheese sauce.

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 05:04:00 +0000

A classic vegetable salad of corn, green beans, and peas, marinated in a sweet and sour vinegar and sugar dressing. Marinated Vegetable Salad From Fire 'n Ice Salad, to pickles and coleslaw, to cucumber salads and creamed cucumbers, green beans to cocktails and everything in between, I'm sure a sucker for anything sweet and sour. I just love the combination of flavors. This marinated vegetable salad is no exception, and it's another one of those 70s throwbacks for me - might...

A tangy form of congealed fruit salad, made with crushed pineapple, flavored gelatin, and your choice of either cottage cheese, buttermilk, cream cheese, salad dressing mayonnaise, sour cream, or any combination of them, with whipped topping folded in. Pink Jello Salad This is yet another recipe that is a throwback to my worn out, old Bell's Best cookbook of the 70s. I seem to be stuck in that era here lately don't I? Truth is, have you noticed that retro is quite in these days....

Mandarin Orange Pig Pickin' Cake

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 21:04:00 +0000

Mandarin Orange Cake is what this dessert is typically known as in this part of The Deep South, but in many other areas of The South, this is more commonly known as Pig Pickin' Cake. Mandarin Orange Pig Pickin' Cake How y'all liking that vintage Tupperware Cake Taker plate up there? I know for photo styling I should have used my mama's fancy footed cake plate, but this is one of those refrigerated cakes so in the cake taker it went. This one, in that classic mustard...

Salmon Patties

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 15:48:00 +0000

Commonly known as croquettes, salmon is combined with fresh parsley and seasonings, crushed saltine crackers and egg, shaped into patties and pan fried for an old southern favorite. Salmon Patties My husband loves salmon patties, and while they are both delicious and a common Friday meal during Lent, I think his love of them comes mostly from the memories. Every single time that I make them, he mentions his grandma and how she often made them for him. That's enough for me to make them...

Sugar macerated strawberries served over homemade cream biscuits with homemade whipped cream. Cream Biscuit Strawberry Shortcake Despite the sweltering summer heat and threat of hurricanes, I truly do love living in this area of the Deep South for many reasons, one of which is that we get an early taste of many seasonal veggies and fruits - and right now, that's strawberries. Generally showing up in abundance from Louisiana in our markets first, followed shortly by the Florida harvests,...

Combine a pound of dried pinto or pink beans with a small pork loin roast for a delicious meal of pork and beans. Slow Cooker Pork and Beans One of the most favorite things that I really enjoy out of this blogging experience, is when I ask everybody "What's Cookin' Good Lookin'?'" over on the Facebook page. Readers share what's cooking in their kitchens, or what's planned, or sometimes just what they are craving, and very often, they share a recipe in those...

Mashed potatoes whipped with a green onion infused milk. Irish Champ Potatoes Unless Mama Nature intended they be green by her own hand, I'm not big on green colored food for St. Patrick's Day. Don't get me wrong - I do think it's fun, especially if you have children who can appreciate a quirky green meal, or maybe even a spouse who won't mind the ribbing from their workmates. I love the color green, but I'm not generally too big on using green dye to color things...

Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting Because I am a bit of a night owl, I tend to do most of my blog work late into the night, and often into the early morning hours, whether it's writing, editing, recipe development, and sometimes, yes, even cooking.

Cheesy Baked Mashed Potatoes It's been a gorgeous spring week here in south Mississippi, just gorgeous. What? You say it's winter still? Well, not in the Deep South!

noreply@blogger.com (Mary Foreman) — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:22:00 +0000

A bowl of Deep South goodness, this gumbo is seasoned with small crab bodies and then topped off with crabmeat and shrimp. Crab and Shrimp Gumbo Like chili, I'm always piddling around with my seafood gumbo recipes, trying to reach that one perfect gumbo my mama used to make. For this crab heavy version, I decided to use a little more onion, bump up the okra to a full pound, and not take my roux quite as dark. I thought for a sweet, crab-based gumbo, this more mellow roux would be a bit...

Slow Cooker red beans & rice made with dried beans, and cooked with a ham bone, bacon and smoked sausage. Slow Cooker Red Beans and Rice Though it's a tradition in the Deep South, we don't have red beans and rice every single Monday of every week at my house, but, I admit that when we don't, things do seem to feel a little out of sorts for me. It's just a routine that has been part of the culture down here for all of my life really. Even as a career woman working outside...
