Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen folks. I got this recipe from Mama over the Christmas holidays. I do believe she’s been holding out on us. It’s a fabulous grape salad that she says she’s made before, but I don’t remember it, and neither did my sisters. Don’t repeat this, but I think she’s been holding out on us! Regardless, the point is that this salad is a keeper. Let me show you how to stir it up. ]]> Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:10:54 CST http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=3&id=122 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=3&id=122 Meats

Welcome back to the kitchen folks. I'm making my Sweet and Spicy Meatballs for y'all, today!

Either way, a platter of my sweet and spicy meatballs will please any crowd. Oh, and here’s a plus, they can be frozen now and reheated later.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, friends. This cold weather has me thinking soup. I made my broccoli soup the other evening and it was so good I thought I should share it with the porch. There are a lot of different ways to enjoy this recipe. You can add diced chicken, or you can bake a potato and layer the soup over the top if you want to stretch it for unexpected company. However you serve it, just serve it.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. I’m gonna share my Tuna and Pasta Salad today. I realize some of you don't like tuna fish because it can be, well, fishy, but you don't have to be skeered of tuna salad, at least not my tuna salad! It's not going to be fishy, tomboy honor. I got to thinking that maybe, just maybe, everyone’s mama didn’t teach you the Tuna Trick. So, headsup, my good friends.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, friends. Oh, my gracious, do I have a recipe for y’all. They are my daughter-in-law’s Peanut Butter Bites. Carey brought these small bites of total delish over to the house the other day, whereupon they immediately vanished into thin air—okay, okay, to be totally honest, they disappeared into our stomachs and they will do the same thing at your house.

Welcome back to the kitchen. We’re cooking Party Beans in the All Things Southern kitchen today, but not just any fresh beans. Pat from South Carolina sent in this recipe with a new secret little twist for fresh beans. At least it was new to me. But I really liked the results. I’m calling ‘em Party Beans because they’re anything but boring. PARTY, but don’t let your mama know. Feel free to share with your mama. If she’s not familiar with this twist, she’ll like it.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! I’ve got a real treat for y’all today. I got Kitchen Belleicious to cough up her cookie recipe. (That would be my daughter, Jessica Ann.) She was in over the weekend and when she mentioned that she would make her cookies but we didn’t have any eggs, I got in OVERDRIVE to get to the grocery store. And do you know what I did? I got to the grocery store and realized I had slipped on two different crocs by the back door, one of mine, one of Phil’s. It was quite a look. I twittered/facebooked it on the spot, just for a bit of humor relief for the folks. I doubt the look will catch on, but these cookies will trend for sure!

Welcome back to the ATS kitchen. Most every good southern cook has a bread pudding recipe in her bag of tricks but you’ll have to search high and low for one as good and easy as this one.

Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. The other day one of your fellow porchers, Leslie Young from Rayville, LA, put a picture of this dish on her Facebook wall and my mouth started watering immediately! The cool thing was that I had all the ingredients on hand so I wasted no time putting it on for lunch and the result—rave reviews from the man! Now, Leslie humbly admitted getting this from another source, but seeing as she tweaked it a bit and then I got it from her and tweaked it a bit, well—it’s ours now. That’s how we do it in the South.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. Now, suppose you need a reason to have a party—and I know you don't, but suppose you did? College hoops would work, right? Well, it’s that time again, we're making "Debbo's Fantastic Shrimp Dip" today. It’s just the thing to serve up for the big game. My sweet friend, Debbie Fortenberry has made this forever but I pried it out of her a few years back. Please note that I can tell y’all how to stir it up, but it won't be quite the same without Debbie's touch, not to mention the great big winning smile she wears when she serves it. And now, with all disclaimers aside— let's get cooking! ]]> Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:35:43 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=6&id=81 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=6&id=81 Salads

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, y’all. The strawberries are beginning to come into season here in Louisiana, which means the price is coming down. Hallelujah! We’ll be eating strawberries every way imaginable. We’ll put ‘em in pies, muffins, ice cream-- and salads! Today, we’re making a Fresh Spring Salad with Strawberries and Poppy Seed Dressing. Let me show you how to stir this up, folks.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, friends. I’ve got a pork tenderloin on for supper and I was just about to whip up some of my “Super Special Porch Sauce” to spoon over it when it’s done. This is a great sauce to spoon over steak, chicken, seafood, pork—the possibilities are endless. And it’s easy, too.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen friends. I want to share my Coffee Chiller recipe with y’all today. Coffee chiller? It’s a cold coffee recipe and it’s so good! Several years ago I was at a bridal shower for my nephew Blake and his sweet bride to be Rachel when the hostess served this up and it went over like fried chicken at a church potluck. I’ve held onto this fabulous coffee chiller ever since. I got it out recently to share with my daughter who was throwing a shower in Houston—and it went over with flying colors there, too. So I thought I’d show y'all how to whip it up.

Greetings from the All Things Southern kitchen, folks! I’m sharing my Cranked Up Cranberry Relish with the porch. I’ve never been a fan of the molded cranberry but this past Thanksgiving I was pressured into whipping up a cranberry relish of my very own. Yep, I was watching the Food Network again! Blame it on Paula, Sandra Lee, Bobby, Giada and the rest of ‘em but I had to try my hand at my very own cranberry relish. And? Well, I took a few ideas from this one and a couple from that one-- AND? VOILA! It was a huge hit at our house. It was delicious with the turkey and with the rolls, and I'm thinking it would be even tasty with chips! I’m always on the lookout for a new dip, you know. Come on, folks, let’s get started! ]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 13:11:11 CST http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=68 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=68 Cookies, Cakes, and Candies

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. Last year’s website renovation was a good thing in a lot of ways, but there have been drawbacks. For instance, I haven’t found the time to move all the recipes which means I'm constantly getting emails from y'all looking for this or that. And one of the most requested recipes by far—PHIL’S NANER PUDDING. Yep. There’s no banana pudding recipe in the archives. Obivously, we can’t have that, not with Christmas on the way! So, heads up, friends. Pull these ingredients together and I'll walk you through it! ]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:46:18 CST http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=9&id=67 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=9&id=67 Breads

Welcome back to the kitchen, folks! We’re making my Turkey Salad Subs today. It’s a great way to use that leftover holiday bird. Yes, I know. I meant to share this recipe with y’all before Thanksgiving and I didn’t get around to it but I've decided better late than never may apply here. I’ll be sharing a Christmas ham recipe with y'all shortly, but who knows? Some people may be planning to have turkey again for Christmas Day-- if not ham and turkey! Why not ham AND turkey? None that I can think of! Folks this recipe is really good. If you try it, you may get a hankering to cook a turkey even when it's not a holiday! ]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 11:22:59 CST http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=4&id=65 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=4&id=65 Dips

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. Grab yourselves a bar stool. I’ve got a great recipe to share with y’all. We're not exactly cooking today.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, porchers. Sadly, our strawberry season is almost over here in Louisiana but we’re doing all we can at the Tomlinson house to support our local suppliers. Last week my refrigerator was running over with berries. I had picked up some, not knowing that Phil had picked up some, and then we were given some and well, it was strawberry heaven. After the strawberry pie, and after the fresh fruit salad, I was still looking for ways to use ‘em before they spoiled on me. That's when I found this great new recipe. It called for raspberries but I substituted my strawberries and went with store bought Cool Whip instead of making my own—and VOILA—fast, fun, and delicious. ]]> Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:55:06 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=9&id=39 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=9&id=39 Breads

Yep--my version is called “Cheesy Green Beans” and it’s got tons more flavor than the old standard. Let me show you the ropes. Ready?

Hello folks, welcome back to the ATS kitchen. I recently had the honor of helping judge the 4-H cooking contest at the Monroe Civic Center. The winner of the Rice Main Dish category was Tripp Morgan of Richland Parish and the recipe was “Ranchero Beefy Rice.” Now, since that just happens to be the category I helped judge, I can vouch for it. So, I thought I’d share the pleasure with the rest of y’all! Ready? Good! Let’s get cooking… ]]> Fri, 28 May 2010 15:26:10 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=6&id=32 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=6&id=32 Salads

Welcome back to the kitchen, porchers. Today, I want you to forget everything you think you know about chicken salad. I had the best chicken salad I’ve ever tasted recently. I was speaking at a luncheon at Parkview Baptist Church in Monroe, LA. As soon as I tasted this chicken salad, I went to the kitchen and wrangled some secrets from the cook, one Mrs. Dorothy Williams! And now, I’m gonna share. :-) Y’all ready? Well, let’s get cooking. ]]> Fri, 28 May 2010 15:10:14 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=4&id=31 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=4&id=31 Dips

Hello folks and welcome back to the ATS kitchen. I’m about to stir up my “Too Tempting Tamale Dip” to take to the hunting camp. You might think tamales aren’t very southern. I’d have to disagree. While they might not have originated here, those of us in the LA Delta adopted tamales a long time ago. So, listen up and I’ll show you how to do “Too Tempting Tamale Dip”. Ready? Let’s get cooking… ]]> Fri, 28 May 2010 15:01:28 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=30 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=30 Cookies, Cakes, and Candies

Hello folks. Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! Today I want to show you how to stir up a really easy treat for that surprise drop in company. I call it “Save the Day Brownies”. You can slip in the kitchen and stir it up while you’re putting the coffee on. You’ll be basking in the compliments in no time. Ready?

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. It’s waterfowl season here in LA and you know what that means. Bingo—roast duck, duck gumbo, grilled duck, fried duck… The men are responsible for killin’ and cleanin’ it; I’m the cook. Today I’m gonna use some with my dirty rice recipe and I’ll be happy to show you the ropes. So, if you're ready?

Hello porchers, welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. It's time for some good southern cooking. I've got a recipe for "Cajun Cheese Bread" that you're just gonna love. All you'll need is a nice salad to make a fine meal. Ready, folks?

Welcome back to the kitchen, friends. Today’s recipe is just begging for some fresh veggies. And the farmers’ markets are already filling up, so even if you don’t have a garden, you should be able to get your hands on some fresh peas. I’m going to show you how to make my Perfect Pea-Topping Relish. It’s a simply scrumptious relish to top those fresh peas and it can also be served as a delicious low calorie dip. You can pair it with your favorite chips and congratulate yourself for skipping the Rotel and cheese dip— at least today. But remember, don’t deny yourselves your favorite treats forever, people; you’ll just fall off the wagon in the end.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern Kitchen friends. I’ve got a wonderfully unique recipe for y’all today. It comes to us by way of my writer friend, Karen Spears Zacharias (author of Will Jesus Buy Me a Double Wide Cause I Need More Room for My Plasma TV) who was served it by a lady named Dee Barnett. I’ve since tried it and can vouch for it. This is good eating.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. We’re stirring up my “Got To Have It Spinach Salad” in the All Things Southern kitchen today. It’s chock-full of nutrition and running over with flavor. Just the idea of this salad made me hungry when I started getting this newletter ready. I had to stop and whip up one for dinner right there on the spot. Here, let’s see if it happens to y’all. I’ll walk you through the steps...]]> Mon, 10 May 2010 14:51:22 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=24 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=24 Cookies, Cakes, and Candies

Okay, here is my family's favorite rice dish. They like it with pork, beef or chicken but they LOVE it with grilled fish. You can play with the recipe as long as you make sure you have one can of consomme for each cup uncooked rice. :-)]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 08:22:56 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=2&id=20 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=2&id=20 Eggs, Cheese, and Casseroles

As a general rule, Southerners serve greens and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Our grandparents believed it brought prosperity in the year to come. And while we don't necessarily believe that anymore, for those who plan to stick with tradition, I offer you a recipe for good ole' hot water cornbread - a perfect compliment for those veggies.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 08:32:46 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=8 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=8&id=8 Cookies, Cakes, and Candies

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, friends. This is your lucky day. I'm gonna show you how to make Nana's Mock Toffee! Nana is my sister, Rhonda. We actually call these things her Slap Your Mama Candy, but I thought we'd dress the name up a little. Now, I've already made up one batch and they went quickly.

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, friends. We're making Jessica's New South Green Beans. Here's what I've learned. If you keep your eyes, your ears, and your mind open, you can learn a lot from your kids. I know my daughter and daughter-in-law have taught me all sorts of things. This recipe is one of them. I call 'em New South Green Beans because my daughter doesn't cook 'em all day long the way her mama and her grandmama did. She serves 'em bright green and still packed with the nutrients the Good Lord put in 'em. Let me show you Jessica's way.]]> Wed, 07 Apr 2010 08:24:04 CDT http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=4&id=4 http://www.allthingssouthern.com/taste-of-the-south.php?cat=4&id=4 Dips

Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen, folks! I read recently that comfort food's all the rage right now. Seems everyone wants to come home and put on a meal that'll take the edge off all the gloom and doom news. With that in mind, I'm sharing my Down Home Potato Pancakes recipe today!
