Barbados Tea with Lime and Simple Syrup

For 22 years prior to my husband’s retirement, we traveled to Barbados annually for his company’s Board of Directors’ meeting. In anticipation of the trip each year, I looked forward to many things. It probably comes as no big surprise that chief among my most anticipated favorites were food related items: Barbados Tea with Lime and Simple Syrup and flying fish sandwich.

The annual sojourn to…

Grilled Asparagus and Spring Onions with Honey Lime Vinaigrette

It’s easy to get confused about seasons of the year when you live in Florida. That’s because we don’t have a full set of seasons. We only have a part of a set. When the rest of the our country thinks it’s winter, we play along for laughs and try not to gloat about standing in our front yard in the middle of January barefooted and in shorts. During March, April, and May when the rest of y’all are…

Carrot Souffle

The more I ponder carrots, the more I realize that my relationship with carrots is a curious thing. I’ve spent my entire life in the Deep South and come from a long line of farmers and backyard gardeners. My people grew commodity crops like peanuts and cotton. In their backyard gardens, they’d grow vegetables such as (more…)

Authentic Cuban Sandwich Ybor City-Style

There are many geographic specific culinary icons. A visit to a particular city or location dictates a dish or specialty that you must have. For example: Clearwater Beach, FL – grouper sandwich; New Orleans, LA – coffee and beignets; Natchitoches, LA – fried meat pies; Grand Bay, AL – watermelons; western North Carolina – apple barns. Such is true of an Authentic Cuban Sandwich Ybor City-Styleif…

Black-Eyed Pea and Tortelloni Soup

Few dishes have a more Southern ring than black-eyed peas and greens. Both are part of our traditional New Year’s Day menu. With inspiration from those iconic dishes, I’ve come up with a little rift I’d like to share with you. How ’bout a nice bowl of steaming Black-Eyed Pea and Tortelloni Soup?

The tortelloni is filled with spinach and ricotta. Spinach takes the place of collard greens…

Cranberry Upside-Down Skillet Cake

Cranberries are something I look forward to each year. The tart and tangy flavor is wonderful in baked goods. Plus, how can you have Thanksgiving without Cranberry Sauce?

I don’t know, either.

I’m happy that IBF International, home of the…

Beef and Pepper Soup

There are but a few things certain in this world. Of course, there’s the well-known cliché about death and taxes, but, something even more certain is that if you cook, you will have mistakes and failures. Beef and Pepper Soup was born of a failed beef roast that I couldn’t make as tender and juicy as I’d like.

Considering the cost of beef these days, I don’t throw out a roast that fails to…
