Broccoli Salad

Kelly — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:09:33 +0000

This is a great summer salad. There are a million like it out there. I’ve always wanted to make a broccoli salad. I kept putting it off, thinking I needed to find the perfect recipe. In fact, I already had the bones of this recipe right under my nose. This is, for all intents ...click to continue Broccoli Salad

Bob’s Mom’s Rhubarb Pie

Kelly — Sat, 11 May 2013 11:13:41 +0000

When I am long gone, and my 8-year-old son is 88, and has children and grandchildren and great grandchildren to tell, I hope he will say something like, “My mother made the best rhubarb pie in the world, and I can still taste it and see it and smell it.” When he says this, ...click to continue Bob’s Mom’s Rhubarb Pie

Refrigerator Bread, Again and Again

Kelly — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:08:09 +0000

Seldom do I feel the need to repeat a recipe, but this is critical. I have become aware that some of my favorite people haven’t seen this recipe, which I posted HERE eons ago. And, I have had yet a few other favorite people repeat that they are afraid of ...click to continue Refrigerator Bread, Again and Again

Black Salad

Kelly — Fri, 03 May 2013 11:24:40 +0000

On the 100th day of school, children are often asked to bring 100 of something to school. It is a fun math centered activity for little ones. This year, I was out of town on day 100, so my sister-in-law, Val was in charge of the selection. She chose 100 grains of forbidden rice, ...click to continue Black Salad

Texas Cheese Board

Kelly — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:35:01 +0000

This is a nudge in the general direction of cheese. Most folks don’t need much of a nudge. But still, do you know who produces cheese in your neck of the woods. I promise that with a little investigation…very tasty investigation…you might find that there are small-batch, high quality, interesting cheeses being made ...click to continue Texas Cheese Board

Spring Berry Fizzy

Kelly — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 11:30:30 +0000

It is particularly galling that some of the best of Spring days are spent looking out the window. My kids get home from school at four and even with no sports, there is still work to be done, which is more difficult with every beautiful day. They are being pulled outside. So even when ...click to continue Spring Berry Fizzy

Western Burgers

Kelly — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 11:38:32 +0000

Western Burgers are a high school cafeteria legend in my hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas. They are a simple and beautiful bit of comfort, consisting of hamburger meat, onion, and seasonings fully wrapped up in a hot, buttery bun. God bless the lunch lady (or man…they always seemed to be ladies back then), I ...click to continue Western Burgers

A dinner for your family, and a trip down memory lane

Kelly — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 11:51:13 +0000

I have been realizing for a long time that I need to go back and clean up my old recipes. For those who have been reading PIE from the beginning, God Bless You…I mean it. My writing was not good three years ago. It was borderline embarrassing, actually. Slowly, a few a day, I’m ...click to continue A dinner for your family, and a trip down memory lane

2013 Foodways Texas Symposium: Part 2

Kelly — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 02:10:01 +0000

On Friday evening of the 3rd Annual Foodways Texas Symposium on BBQ I found myself casually sitting in the hotel lobby chatting about the world with Justin Fourton of Pecan Lodge BBQ in Dallas, and Tim Byres of Dallas’ SMOKE restaurant. What other event would place ...click to continue 2013 Foodways Texas Symposium: Part 2

2013 Foodways Texas Symposium

Kelly — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:21:37 +0000

It is official. Foodways Texas events are not, in fact, conferences on the studies of food, culture, history, gender, politics and agriculture or practical laboratories on culturally steeped cooking. Well, actually the events are both of these things. But in a greater sense, they have taken on the air of a ...click to continue 2013 Foodways Texas Symposium

Basic Meatloaf

Kelly — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:41:31 +0000

My mother-in-law and I had a lot of food favorites in common. This is one of her recipes. I like to make her recipes occasionally when I feel like giving the kids a happy memory of her. I can say, “Oh, kids, this is Cinny’s recipe…it is one of my favorite things that she ...click to continue Basic Meatloaf

Belgian Buttermilk Waffles

Kelly — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 13:00:33 +0000

This is a basic recipe that you need in your repertoire. Repeat after me, “I do not need a mix.” You can use a mix. I don’t mind. Been there, done that. But, there was a time when I would actually say things like, “Can’t make pancakes…out of mix.” I don’t do that ...click to continue Belgian Buttermilk Waffles

Ford’s Chocolate Birthday Cake

Kelly — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:36:18 +0000

What a crazy start to Spring! I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Fortunately, it has all been for good. I’ve been doing a lot of writing, a lot of learning about technology, a lot of learning about ETSY, and a lot of preparing for next week’s ...click to continue Ford’s Chocolate Birthday Cake

Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Salt and Pepper Pecans

Kelly — Thu, 21 Mar 2013 21:17:41 +0000

I have my friend Courtney Mertens to thank for this jewel. She makes it often, although she uses a different dressing. I couldn’t find the cookbook that contained the dressing recipe so I had to improvise. I like this dressing a great deal though, and I love using honey in my…well, everything. So this ...click to continue Strawberry and Spinach Salad with Salt and Pepper Pecans

Dutch Babies

Kelly — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 18:10:38 +0000

Whether you call this a Dutch Baby or a German Pancake makes no difference. In fact, I sincerely hope I’m not introducing this concept to you. I hope it has been on your Saturday morning breakfast rotation for ages.

It is a baked pancake, in essence. Some compare it to a flat popover. It ...click to continue Dutch Babies
