Fried Green Tomatoes
It’s not right to live through Summer without eating at least one batch of fried green tomatoes. I believe it’s a Southern sin.
Now generally speaking, I seem to remember that eating fried green tomatoes was something we did at the end of the last harvest. Some tomato plants can be pushed to produce [...]
Oven Roasted Red Potatoes and Onions
Oven roasted vegetables are so delicious and easy to serve. No matter what it is, as long as the oven is hot, there’s good olive oil on hand and you season it with plenty of coarse salt and fresh ground pepper…you cannot go wrong.
HERE’S A GREAT VEGGIE COMBO
red potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces

Homecooked Purple Hull Peas
Fresh Purple Hull Peas are hard to come by around these parts. If you ever run across someone who grows them, I highly suggest that you get chummy with them.
Purple hull peas are very filling served on top of rice for a light lunch. They are usually eaten as a side veggie with [...]
Vegetable Medley
Ok, I know I’ve already done a recipe with chick peas this week. But come ON! Who eats something different every night of the week? that lives on a reasonable budget? that hates to throw out good food?
I’m calling this recipe “vegetable medley”, because it’s better than “leftover vegetables from the frig that [...]
Chick Peas and Vegetables
You want healthy? THIS vegetable plate is HEALTHY!
My husband and I are not vegetarians but we love our vegetables. We have our moments when we’re completely burned out on eating meat and just want fruits and vegetables to eat.
Do you get that way, too?
HERE’S ALL IT TAKES TO GET THIS DINNER [...]
Fresh Snapped Green Beans
Y’all know about my good neighbors, Randy and May? They bring us fresh vegetables from their garden from time to time. And this week, they shared these fresh green beans.
I had to ask May how to cook them. I had no idea how long it would take to get them tender.
She said, [...]
Homecooked Mashed Potatoes
There’s always enough time to make home cooked mashed potatoes. And I don’t care who you are or what diet your on…they’re good eats and they should be eaten at least once a week!
My Memaw always simmered her spuds with chopped onions mixed in the pot. Mmm, mmm, that’s the way to do it too! [...]
Homecooked Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas
You say garbanzo beans, I say chickpeas.
Chickpeas are fairly new to me. I’ve used them to make hummus. I’ve added them to my soups. Up until last week, I simply bought them canned. I read a helpful article from Culinate.com that inspired me to cook them on my own. They [...]
Roasted Yellow Squash
Yellow squash would have to be my second favorite vegetable. Steamed, baked, or roasted, it’s good anytime.
A full bag of small crook neck squash fell into my lap this week. “YEAH!!!” My first thought was bake it up my usual way, which is how I get my kids to eat it. [...]
Spinach Lovers Pie
I’ve always made spinach quiche, but never a spinach pie. This is attempt number one, and I’ll tell ya right now, you will see more versions of it in the future.
Spinach is my MOST FAVORITE vegetable of all time. If my family would let me, I would serve it every other day.
THIS [...]
Creamy Soup Surprise
Remember that easy butternut squash chili recipe? It was so GOOD! I made it again the other day, but this time I tried cooking it in the slow cooker. I don't know what I was thinkin'! It's already a quick and easy recipe. The slow cooker was too much. The flavors were still intense [...]

Quick Carrots
Have you ever cooked a pot roast in a slow cooker and forgotten to throw in the vegetables? I do it EVERY TIME! I've done it for so long that I have evolved to cooking the carrots in the microwave in the meat broth. And no one, not family, not other good cooks, not me, [...]
