appley EVER AFTER

Autumn has officially arrived and I love the idea of a warm, cozy sip that uses locally grown apples with bourbon and smoky mezcal. This one is delicious for a swanky cocktail party but also works just fine in a red solo cup next to a bonfire or on a hayride.

blackberry and lemon VODKA TONIC

The dog days of summer require something cool, strong, and slightly sweet - this one is just the ticket. Quick and easy to whip up…but impressive as a pre-dinner cocktail or for just sippin’ on the back porch. Feel free to increase the amount of vodka depending on your day -

tomatoes and peaches with WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE

Something magical happens when goat cheese is paired with summer tomatoes and juicy ripe peaches. This super quick salad works well as a starter course, but also equally impresses as an appetizer when served with our firecrackers or buttery grilled toast. We especially love the bright green nuance of fresh basil and mint from the garden, even though added bits of zesty arugula or watercress would make this the summer salad to end all summer salads….

summer tomato TOAST

Nothing on the planet is more delicious than fresh tomatoes steeped in olive oil, basil, and fresh garlic. Our SUMMER TOMATO TOAST is simple, but promises to be the belle of this year’s Fourth of July pool, lake, or river party. The tomatoes gain sweet complexity the longer they sit…so prep about an hour before guest arrival to ensure maximum flavor…and guest adoration.

it's hard out here FOR A PIMM'S

Our simple version of this classic summertime cocktail includes muddled cucumber and Arkansas strawberries that elevate it to a whole new level. Barely sweet, heady, with bright red berries, lemon, and fresh mint that screams “SUMMER HAS ARRIVED!”

buffalo grilled MUSHROOMS

buffalo grilled MUSHROOMS

Mushrooms when cooked properly are the epitome of umami; I love this recipe as a side dish, but it’s also killer as a vegetarian main course as the base for sliders…it’s also excellent as an accoutrement to pizza.

The high heat grill ensures a crispy mushroom, so be sure to keep the burners on high through the cooking process. Morels are a seasonal treat, but worth the addition to the mix during the Spring months if you can find them. Thump thump!

HIGH SOUTH HOPPIN' JOHN SOUP

HIGH SOUTH HOPPIN' JOHN SOUP

Humans are superstitious on many levels, and food is no exception. Every new year brings hope for prosperity and longevity, and we love to exercise our expectations for good luck through great food...from all over the world. We start with southern heritage black eyed peas, an earthy legume reminiscent of small coins; and of course we can’t have black eyed peas without a golden cornbread.
