Lemon & Garlic Green Beans

Lemon & Garlic Green Beans by John Spottiswood

It is rare to have a side dish which everyone keeps reaching for instead of the main dish. That's especially true if its a fairly simple green vegetable side. But these green beans were truly that good. We used packaged, thin french cut green beans from Trader Joes. They are tender and tasty on their own, but I've never had them taste…

Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes

Linguine with Fresh Tomatoes by Robyn Savoie

Since we can have great tomatoes year around, we can always enjoy their fresh flavor this way. Remember: Never store your fresh tomatoes in the refrigerator, the cold ruins their taste and texture. Keep them right on the counter so they'll be sweeter and juicier.

Ham & Three Cheese Panini

Ham & Three Cheese Panini by Kandy's Kitchen Kreations

To make sauce, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. (I didn't give measurements for the mayo and mustard because you can make it to your family's taste.

Biscuits and Gravy

Biscuits and Gravy by Veronica Gantley

This gravy is practically a must in most southern kitchens. It is called by many names, sausage gravy, sawmill gravy, white gravy. It is similar to the one served at the Cracker Barrel restaurant and made in so many southern kitchens. At first, I thought, this is too simple a recipe to post. Everyone knows how to make gravy,…

Cranberry-Orange Muffins

Cranberry-Orange Muffins by Robyn Savoie

Host a country-style weekend breakfast with these sweet-tart muffins. A few years ago we had a harsh winter and I didn't want to run to the grocery store for the Orange Marmalade. Everything was covered in 4 inches of ice because it warmed up and rained. Turning the snow into instant ice. I found the remaining jar of my…
