Bacon, Tomato & Cheese Stuffing
My Bacon, Tomato & Cheese Stuffing recipe has sort of evolved over time because I love to make turkey breast throughout the year and I love stuffing. I was trying to come up with a stuffing recipe that tasted more like something that I could serve during the summer with my BBQ turkey breast and cold salads. I just kept adding and tweaking until I finally nailed it.
What’s funny is that once my kids tasted it they became huge fans and this stuffing turned into a family favorite at holiday time. I now make our traditional turkey dressing as well as this one and guess which one is licked clean?
The jalapeno definitely gives it a spicy flavor and we love that here in Texas but, if that’s not your thing just leave it out. You will still love the bacon, cheese and the tomatoes on top. And everyone has their preference of a “base” for their stuffing. This recipe calls for toasted cubes of white bread mixed with cornbread. This just happens to be what we like in our family but, if you like all cornbread go for it – just make sure your measurement of bread is the same. I always end up adding a little more broth at the end because we like ours very moist.
I typically serve this during the summer along with braised collard greens or my charred corn salad… it’s the perfect side dish!
Bill’s Beef Tenderloin
This Beef Tenderloin recipe is very special to my heart...and it's delicious too! Many moons ago when the girls were growing up, I formed a dinner club in my neighborhood with a F.U.N. group of couples so that we could all get together once a month for a great meal. It was a huge deal to host dinner club at your house as it meant pulling out all the stops, blowing the dust of...

Charred Corn Salad
I saw this charred corn salad recipe on Kelsey's Essentials last weekend (The Cooking Channel) and thought I'd give it a try the next time I put together a BBQ dinner. The flavors were perfect - summer in a bowl. There are few ingredients going on here, just the corn, some red onion, olive oil, vinegar and seasonings. But corn is a magical thing isn't it? It's full of sugar and when it's freshly...

Southern Peach Buttermilk Pie
My friend, Claire, emailed me last week with this buttermilk pie recipe that she found in the Dallas Morning News. The recipe was written by Jane Jarrell, and it is a masterpiece. Seriously, this is the best peach buttermilk pie I've ever tasted and it would work with blueberries, raspberries - the possibilities are endless. I cheated and used a couple of Pillsbury prepared pie sheets out of a box...

Cheese Steak Sandwich
I saw this cheese steak sandwich recipe on the Food Network and it was one of those recipes that immediately caught my eye. I had never tried to make anything like this because, in truth, we simply don't eat a lot of sandwiches in our house. But this...oh my cheesy goodness! The steak was tender and lean, a result of the super thin slices of semi-frozen sirloin steak before...
