Celebrating Southern Drawls, Southern Food and Southern Susan

When I remember Susan Shaffer, her very southern accent is the first thing that comes to mind. It always makes me smile. Twangy drawls were one of the things that Susan and I had in common. After twenty-five years of living in the Lowcountry, I've been able to tone my eastern North Carolina articulation down a good bit. Susan's cadence was a constant. Her words were always spoken slowly, softly and honestly. I miss my friend. With Susan on my mind, I'd like to share a few very southern recipes. This week's offerings are from a food photo shoot taken at my home a couple of years ago. Susan's husband, Mark, was the photographer, and Susan joined him at ...

Tuesday Night Supper

What should I cook for supper? Believe it or not, that's an almost daily question at our house. When it's just Vince and me at the dinner table, I'm inclined to try some new ideas. That's what I did on Tuesday. My broccoli salad recipe had originally consisted of broccoli, strawberries, salted cashews and toasted coconut, but when I couldn't find any pretty fresh strawberries, I had to resort to Plan B. Necessity is the mother of invention. It was also a serendipity. The combination of the flavors of the raspberries, pistachios and toasted coconut is fabulous! The dressing is slightly sweet and tangy. I still plan to test the recipe with strawberries ...

Easter Casseroles

Easter weekend in the Covington household is full of traditions! We always watch “The Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston on Saturday night. We always get up extra early on Easter morning to attend the 7am worship service at The Parish Church of St. Helena. And, I always make these two casseroles to accompany our Easter meal. This year we'll be feasting on rack of lamb, sweet potatoes, deviled eggs and poppy seed bread. Easter Vegetable Casserole and Pineapple Au Gratin are excellent served with ham, turkey or beef tenderloin, too.
