What do you think of when you hear the term “preacher’s wife”? Hmm…
One who sees only in black in white?

Sausage Biscuits

Much like Krispy Kreme and its famous “Hot Now!” donuts sign, I think Southern cooks could benefit from a “Hot Now!” biscuits sign. Call this neon biscuit beacon an updated version of hollerin’ or triangle-ringing – the modern day equivalent of the traditional dinner bell. Or breakfast bell. Or supper bell. Or all three as scratch buttermilk biscuits are welcome at each, sometimes even in the same day!

Sometimes I’m asked if I miss teaching and if I’ll “go back” once all the kids are in school. Ummm, how do I say “no” and “no” politely? Now don’t get me wrong – I loved teaching biology and physical science. However, I feel I’m still very much a teacher – only with fewer students (just 3!) and a lot less paperwork! That said, I’d like to resume my former role as a high school teacher again for a moment. So, please clear your desk – it’s time for a pop quiz! And, please keep the groans to yourself.
Print Me

Some of Jenn’s foodie readers had a request… They wanted to be able to print the recipes, or at least to see them without the pictures and whatnot in the way.
Well, we clearly want to have happy readers, so I’ve added a link to the individual pages, right next to the picture of the author. If you’re on the homepage, where there are many posts listed, you won’t see it… But if you click through to the page for a given recipe, and then look for the words “printable version”, you’ll be well on your way.
From that page, you’ll be able to read, print, or even email the simple version of the recipe. Check it out, and let me know if you have any trouble with it. And only print it if you have to… I’d rather have you save some paper.

Tender Ginger Molasses Cookies

The running joke in Nashville is that there’s a conspiracy between the meteorologists and grocery stores to forecast snow a couple of times each winter. This results in kids getting their hopes up (and more often than not, dashed), schools being called off before the first flake has even fallen, and a mad rush to the grocery store to stock up – just in case.

My husband’s fantasy football season is over. My home team Titans didn’t make it into the postseason. My father-in-law’s beloved Packers exited in week 1 of the playoffs. Three reasons why my attention for football can now be fully directed where it really belongs – to food for the Super Bowl!

Oatmeal Buttermilk Bread

Sorry for the posting lull. I was, sadly, beginning to think I’d left my cooking karma back in 2009. First I suffered through the “mocha meringue massacre“. Then, I made granola, and it bit the turned to dust. (Why, oh why, does my granola not clump!?) So, I was a bit wary of having a third strike.
Cinnamon Eggnog Scones

Growing up I detested eggnog. I probably still would except that our local dairy was giving out samples at the farmers’ market a few weeks ago. Not one to pass up free food, I got a cup, took a sip, and lo and behold had a “Mikey moment”. I liked it.
Gingerbread Cookies on a Stick

Sure, I could make this a touching post about how my just-turned 7-year-old requested “gingerbread cookies on a stick, like last year” for her birthday treat.
