Toad-In-The-Hole by Carolinaheartstrings

When I told my British mom that Tammie and I were doing recipes that were related to our heritage this month she eagerly suggested Toad-in-the-Hole. Well, the name alone had me sold! So what on earth is Toad-in-the-Hole? It is Yorkshire pudding baked with sausages. I had never had Toad-in-the-Hole growing up, (although she had…

Carolina Red Rice by Carolinaheartstrings

Throughout the Carolinas red rice is a favorite – either as a side or a meal if you’re generous with the sausage.

This is one of my two all-time FAVS from the peak microwave cookbook era of the 80's and 90's. If you prefer, use homemade cream sauce in place of…
