Fabulous Fried Rice
The farmer and I love fried rice but we rarely have it. For starters, we don't have a Chinese restaurant in our small town, and until recently, I've never cooked it at home. But, I do love learning new things, so I set out to mimic the fried rice dishes the beloved farmer and I have always enjoyed. And if I must say so myself,
The Belle’s Cheesy Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna
I so wish I could serve you a piece of my Cheesy Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna, I really do. But, the next best thing would be to share the recipe with you and I'm about to do just that. First, the backstory? As I may have mentioned once or ten times, I love to take our favorite flavor combinations and recreate them into different dishes,
On Skillet Cookies, Husbands, and Learning to Speak Sourdough
Hey folks, let’s chat…How’s it going? It’s a gorgeous day here in northeast Louisiana as I sit here writing to you from the back porch, albeit a tad chilly. (Here’s a screen shot, and I mean that literally. If the picture is fuzzy, blame it on said screen.) We always have a cold snap around Easter and this year is no different. The beloved farmer
Caramel and Oats Skillet Cookie
Say skillet cookies and I’m in, but add Caramel Chips and Oats and I’m all in. Okay, so you could also call it a pie. Either way, put the coffee on and call the family. The apples, the spice, the caramel? It tastes like Fall on a plate! Let me walk you through it. "Caramel and Oats Skillet Cookies" 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 and ½ cup

Short Order Burritos for Breakfast
School's in and mornings can be feeling a little frantic. Can I get a witness? I get it. Harvest is in full swing here and that means mornings are moving quickly here, too. My answer? Short order Breakfast Burritos. I like to serve them as "breakfast for supper" with fresh guac, sour cream, and jalapeno cheese grits. Freeze the leftovers individually in foil packets and
The Queen’s Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
In other news, my son and his family are staying with us a few days while repairs are undertaken on their house. They had a water line break upstairs, which resulted in a major indoor flood, but it's okay. No one ever expects this type of thing or enjoys it, but all is well because all are well. Everything else can be fixed, with time.

Shellie’s Salted Caramel Protein Balls
Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. We’re making protein balls. My daughter aka Miss Kitchen Belleicious—look her up! Was the first to turn me onto protein balls. And honestly, although I enjoy them at her house, they usually fall off my radar once I get home. At least they used to, but not anymore. I’ve been experimenting with them, lately. I just whipped
Broccoli Love for People Who Don’t Think They Love Broccoli
“Broccoli Love” (for people who don’t think they love broccoli) Wash and prep broccoli. Coat with olive oil, red pepper flakes and much garlic. As Foghorn Leghorn would tell it, “I say, I say much garlic.” See pic. Spread on cookie sheet. No crowding. Your broccoli requests room to breathe, y’all, or it won’t get crunchy and all caramelizy. Yes, I make up words but sometimes I need
