This spring has been a busy one, so I am reposting an oldie but goodie. Almost four years ago (!) to the day (unplanned! fortuitous!) I posted this recipe for making tortilla chips out of tortillas. Healthier than a store-bought bag of chips, and about 20 minutes in the oven. Not bad, right? Try them in these Healthy Nachos, like I do! When ... view more

Hummingbird Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting
I may not be Southern, but I know a delectable Southern dessert when I taste one. And that's what we have here.

E had kitchen skills that I attributed to her Southern DNA. It ... view more
