Goat Cheese Tomato Pot Pie
Goat Cheese + Tomato + Pie = HELP ME, HARRY. I have an obnoxious amount of photos of this here Goat Cheese Tomato Pot Pie. I couldn't help it! Cheesy, rustic-y things with a pie crust just deserve it, dang it! Plus, I just couldn't decide on the best angle to show you. I had to show you every angle! Every side! Everything! Why am I so obsessed with exclamation points today?! Who cares. Let's eat.   Grab a Pillsbury pie crust... Read More
Cast-Iron Chicken Pot Pie with Spring Veggies
Why are cast-iron skillets so amazing? No, I'm asking you. So the other night we got some MAJOR thunderstorms. Lost power, played Uno by candlelight, the works. I have no idea why I just told you that. I think it's because I had made this here Cast-Iron Chicken Pot Pie earlier in the day and I felt like it just MATCHED the weather. I remember saying to Aaron, "I'm so glad I'm making comfort food today! Since it's going to storm tonight! Aaron... Read More
Chicken Kiev and Kale Pockets
When I get hungry, I get reaaaaaaal hungry.I think “hangry” is the appropriate term. And when I’ve reached hangry level, I need to get food in my belly as soon as possible or else... well, it’s not a pretty sight, that’s what.My friends and family know this well. My maid of honor even alluded to it in her speech at my wedding, warning my brand-new husband that if snacks are not packed for a road trip, it could be a long drive (true stor... Read More
Fully Loaded Potato Rings
I recently caught these fried potato rings online and immediately craved them. Like everything we do here on Tablespoon though, I had to crank it up to a whole new level! I find that the best way to turn things up is add bacon. Taking inspiration from a loaded baked potato, I mixed bacon and cheese right into these rings. Served with a yogurt ranch dip, these Loaded Potato Rings would be a hit at any party! The secret to make them easy and... Read More

How to Make Grits
The Super Bowl is right around the corner! Most people might be interested in appetizer recipes, but I thought it would be fun to make something more substantial. Not only is my Cajun Pork and Grits recipe inspired by the home of the Super Bowl this year (New Orleans), but it also gives a good opportunity to review how to make grits the right way. Grits are nothing fancy. In fact, they are about as simple as you can get. They are just grou... Read More
Loaded Baked Potato Grilled Cheese Sandwich
In college I worked at a local restaurant waiting tables, and we had to plate the main entree and side before serving it to our customers. Our most popular side was a loaded baked potato. We were required to assemble the baked potatoes in a certain order: cheese, (first – so it would melt), butter, sour cream, bacon and green onions. Imagine me repeating this in my head a hundred times in my head every night so that I didn't mess it up. I have... Read More
NYE App: Shrimp Puffs
I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite ways to ring in the New Year is with a lot of yummy food. Don’t get me wrong – I love to spend the holiday with close friends and family, of course! – but the grub’s gotta be good, too. Otherwise it’s like you’re bringing bad juju with you into the New Year – or maybe just a bad taste in your mouth. That’s why when it’s my turn to host the holiday festivities, I make sure the...

Makin’ Bacon Cornbread
There is an age-old proverb, a timeless mantra if you will, a well-known quote out there that tends to ring true with most things, and one I choose to live by often: It's better with bacon. It's true, isn't it? Brownies are better with bacon bits inside the batter. Meatloaf is better wrapped in bacon. Bacon is better with extra bacon on top of it. And this Bacon Cornbread? It's just not the same without bacon (of course, the pieces of fresh corn... Read More

Savory Mini Muffins
I . . . wrote you a nursery rhyme. It goes like this. Little Miss Muffin, sat on a tuffin mixing her flour and salt. Along came some goat cheese that said, "add me please!" And caused her to jump to a halt. Little Miss Muffin, sat on a tuffin whisking her eggs and milk. Along came red onion that said, "I'll be such fun, hon!" She passed out into an unsightly wilt. Little Miss Muffin, sat on a tuffin folding her batter together. A... Read More
