sides

This delicious fall salad pairs perfectly with a nice bowl of butternut squash soup.

When sweet corn is super fresh this dish is at its best. Perfect with roasted or fried chicken, your family will surely go back for seconds.

To me, fresh figs are one of the most perfect foods and risotto is often times thought of as a difficult dish. I have paired southern, country ham with fresh figs in a simple recipe anyone can prepare.

In the south we have ways of incorporating peaches into every course. This soup can be a starter, side dish, or even dessert and the taste is absolute heaven.

Elegant, but healthy way to use summer’s ripe tomatoes. I use stone ground cornmeal from Logan Turnpike Mill in Blairsville, Georgia.

This recipe is best when tomatoes are in season. As my daddy always says “It is so good it will make you slap your grandmamma down”!

Fresh lady peas always remind me of our Sunday lunches growing up. My dad and I would soak up all the juices from the peas with a big piece of Mama’s cornbread. I love serving this marinated version over fresh sliced tomatoes.

This classic combination of bacon and blue cheese is the perfect side dish to a grilled steak.
