We first made a variation on this shepherd’s pie when Charles’ mom stocked us full of fresh lamb they had gotten from a friend of theirs in Tennessee. We’ve since kept this in our recipe rotation. It is a favorite on those cold rainy days. The leftovers reheat...
There are so many great things about this recipe. For one, stuffing with the turkey adds a pack of protein to each of these, so essentially you are creating a full meal with just one stuffed squash. Secondly, taking a Southwestern twist on this is just one way to...
This authentic Mexican dish is simply amazing. Some cultures consider the tongue a delicacy. One bite into the tasty meat and you’ll know why. The meat is fatty and fine textured like pot roast and you can get them at many markets nowadays. Obviously we would prefer...
This is the finned version of our chicken fried steak recipe. Fat and protein coming together to conquer taste buds all around the world. Who in the world didn’t eat fish sticks as a child? This is a recipe for the entire family to enjoy eating. For more ideas on...

I stumbled upon this recipe one morning trying to be creative. Julie and I had been super busy for several days and breakfast consisted of repeated trips to the frittata we had made a few days before. The refrigerator was pretty bare, and I wanted to mix things up a...
Late summer at the Mayfield house would almost guarantee fried okra was on the table. Okra is as commonplace in the South as grits. You don’t have to give up any flavor or texture to enjoy this classic adapted in this manner. If you’re going to go to the trouble,...
