A lot of chefs have individual sites with their recipes -- Michael Chiarello (napastyle.com), Nigella Lawson (nigella.com), Jamie Oliver (jamieoliver.com), etc. But I've also gotten some pretty good recipies from foodandwine.com and Epicurious.
PS to Kelly -- Great blog!!
During the weekend I like to roast a chicken, then use it for different meals during the week. But if I'm in a hurry, a grilled pimento cheese sandwich hits the spot!
Olive oil does have a much higher smoke point. Veg oil is best. And you don't need to season it every time -- I find once a year is usually ok. Couple of hours at 250*.
After it's seasoned though, dianeb is right -- no soap! I clean mine with HOT water and kosher salt.
Peanut butter (although I recently bought some cashew butter from Trader Joe's - not bad!) and some sort of cracker/snack bread. Currently it's Wheat Thins, but sometimes I just throw some pita bread in the oven until crisp.
Some sort of seasonal fruit tart. (I'm in charge of desserts in my family!)
Don't send them to the Varsity. At least not without a warning.
Sadly, "downtown" Atlanta still leaves a lot to be desired, although when I left a year ago, some places were springing up in the Aquarium/Philips Arena area. I've heard Thrive is good -- a bit clubby later in the week. And the Busy Bee Cafe near Clark Atlanta University is good for soul/southern food.
If you can take a cab, or Marta, midtown has some great restaurants -- Ecco, Trois, the Flying Biscuit. Also, Sotto Sotto in Little 5 Points is just a cab ride away, as is Shaun's restaurant in Inman Park. Also in that area is Wisteria - one of my all-time favorites.
Buckhead is also home to a ton of restaurants, both good and bad. If you're a Top Chef fan, Richard Blais' new restaurant, Home, is in Buckhead.
Adding the eggs makes it seem like spoon bread -- I make my cheese grits with just steps 1 and 2.
And @Southern_bella -- I'm currently in California, and my mom sends me grits and Duke's mayonnaise on a regular basis!!
If I'm having BBQ, it's sweet tea -- otherwise, a salty dog is summertime fave!
The Loveless Cafe is a standard -- their ham is a bit on the salty side, but their biscuits and homemade jelly are to die for. If you're lucky, they'll be making blackberry -- YUM!
Also, there was a place called the Red Wagon Cafe in East Nashville that my friend and I used to go to all the time, but I haven't been in a couple of years. Hopefully, it's still there -- great brunch dishes.
I'm happy for Stephanie, and I think all 3 made a strong showing (even, surprisingly, Lisa). Blais may not think he gave his 'best performance', but believe me, the man's a genius. One of my top 5 most memorable meals was at his dearly-departed "Blais" restaurant in Atlanta. If anyone's visiting Atlanta in the future, I suggest tracking him down.
I might even plan a trip to Chicago to try Stephanie's dishes in person. (Lisa, I'm not quite 'there' yet, but maybe in a few months...)
tortilla. lettuce. black beans. grilled corn. salsa. avocado. tomatoes. shredded pepper jack cheese. glorious.
really mac and cheese. It is a real comfort food for me. I can eat a lot of it.
when my husband is out-of-town for a few days, i make a big bowl of couscous with garbonzos, kalamatas, feta, red onions, tomatoes, misc veggies, olive oil, and red wine vinegar or lemon. i don't usually make it when he's home because it's not his favorite. the best part is, the big bowl lasts me awhile so i get a break from cooking dinner for a few days.
When my husband is gone I ALWAYS make my mom's "brown spaghetti" and a Quick Linguini and Clams! They warm my heart and fill my belly with a touch of home.
