This Southern-style fried chicken thigh and drumstick recipe is not for the calorie-counters. Less heavy on the hips, but just as luscious on the lips is oven-baked honey soy chicken. But who’s counting? Buttermilk Fried Chicken Buttermilk might be a household product in the US, but here in the UK it is more enigmatic. Although it is available in larger supermarkets, British recipes rarely call for it and so it is seldom used over here....

Plus, it is so easy to whip up a batch — once you chop up the vegetables, it’s just a matter of sauteing them with garlic and then adding everything else to the pot to simmer away for about 25 minutes.

Welcome to another issue of Comfort food September! Today we’re making another cajun classic – shrimp étouffée. Shrimp etouffée is the kind of meal I like to throw together for Friday lunch when the weather has been extra yucky, and the hubby is working from home. It’s a treat when he’s around on a Friday, so I like to throw together a hot lunch that’s warm and comforting. For my shrimp etouffee, I make the roux from scratch on the stovetop....

Here’s the coffee cake we enjoyed all weekend. And after having coffee cake about 100 times a day, I was ready for something savory, delicious, and healthy. Crispy slightly buttery crust, savory, garlicky, warm and cheesy in the center… this meatless quiche is one of the best things to come out of my oven. (Even my meat and potatoes loving husband agrees.) Let me tell you a few things about this cheesy spinach mushroom quiche situation: 1....

Follow up the cherry theme and bake our Cherry and Apricot Cake with Amaretto Cream to celebrate summer flavours! This post contains affiliate links. When you purchase through our links, we may earn a commission. Lately I’ve been re-discovering delicious classic cocktails that have been sort of ruined by certain well known restaurants. Tragically, lots of perfectly good drinks have an unfair reputation as sickly sweet, syrupy drinks. Never in a million years have I thought this drink would be something I would recommend....

We all love tasty bites that are easy to prepare yet impressive. Sausage rolls are an absolute must for any British gathering. I have never been to one where hosts didn’t offer them. Yet all too often they are store bought, which means bland sausage and soggy pastry....

Achoo! Are you on the train to Lousyville? Because the way this weeks weather has been, i’m sure a lot of us are going to be coming down with a cold pretty soon. I woke up with a super sore throat this morning. Only after deciding to post this cold-buster citrus green smoothie up on the blog today. I think the universe is telling me that I need to drink lots of liquids and start taking preventative measure — enter this citrus green smoothie....

Well it’s that time of year again! Fall. And when I say ‘fall’ for those of you that don’t live in the south, lemme tell you all about it. Fall is the season southerners eat soup, wear blankets, turn the air conditioner up and pretend it’s chilly outside. True story. ? So allow me to pretend it’s chilly out and the leaves are turning. Let’s eat chicken tortellini soup like we NEED it....

I won’t even tell you how many bowls of cacio e pepe I had when we went to Italy a couple of summers ago. And after consuming bowls and bowls of it, I started to realize, it can vary quite a bit from restaurant to restaurant. Some bowls didn’t have enough cheese sauce, some were pretty heavy-handed with the black pepper. The first bowl of cacio e pepe I had was the absolute best, it was at a little cafe in Trastevere....

You can also try our Baked Oatmeal recipe for more breakfast options. I’ve often thought of breakfast as the most challenging meal of the day. Eating something nutritious that will last takes planning and, often, more energy than I’m willing to put in. That leaves me on the lookout for breakfast recipes that can be made in advance but will keep me satisfied till lunch. Even better if they can be enjoyed by picky kids!...
