Bloody Mary Mix
We’re very particular about our Bloody Marys in my family. Since I can remember, every holiday or family get together my grandfather would stand at the kitchen island, while everyone else whirled around from pot to pan from the stove to the sink cooking and back. Stoically, Boppy would calmly mix the tomato juice, with Worcestershire, olive juice, fresh squeezed lemons and just the right amount of ...

At Fridge to Fork, we LOVE football! Not only do we love rooting for our Dawgs, we may love tailgating food even more! From cheese straws to sliders to boiled peanuts, there's always something to love. Tailgating brings about a sense of community that spans all generations.

Cauliflower Spring Pea Salad
I'm so excited to share this roasted cauliflower spring pea salad with you! This dish can be eaten hot or served cold at a picnic. The flavors just scream summer! Now, I've got to be straight up: this dish isn't horrible for you, but it certainly doesn't fall under our typical "healthy eats" category either. So...cue the mayo and bacon, don't eat it every day, and...get over it! It won't ...
Baba Ganoush
I started making baba ganoush when I did my first Whole30. At the time, I was obsessed with hummus and had no idea how I would go an entire 30 days without my favorite dip. It was a serious problem. I did a little research and found that baba ganoush was a similar style dip, but instead of chickpeas, it is made with roasted eggplant. At that time there were not as many “Whole30” approved ...
Veggie-Packed Turkey Meatloaf Muffins (Whole30, Paleo, DF)
Several years ago, while in grad school, I apprehensively picked up these Turkey Meatloaf Muffins from Trader Joe's. I was studying at the time to become a medical illustrator, and spending most of my time in class or in my studio. While I tried to eat healthily, I also had time constraints that kept me out of the kitchen, so frozen meals were a substantial part of my diet. These meatloaf muffins ...
Pickled Shrimp
Pickled shrimp are a easy, make ahead appetizer for your next party- especially if you need a last minute idea for this New Years Eve. Make these a day (or two) before to reduce prep time on the actual party day. They also travel well in the jar to take with you if you are attending your NYE party instead of hosting! We chose this recipe found in Saveur magazine inspired by local Georgia ...
Southern Living’s White Chocolate-Dipped Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
In my experience, sometimes baking is best left to the pro's, and who better to turn to than Southern Living? I have so many of their cookbooks and credit them with much of my culinary education over the years. A few years back, my mother gifted me with the 2010 Southern Living Ultimate Christmas Cookbook that is filled with everything you could need to be the perfect holiday host (or guest!). ...
Proscuitto-Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese
Sweet dates, savory herbed goat cheese, and salty prosciutto come together to create an amazing flavor combo in this easy-peasy appetizer! Mark this one down for your upcoming holiday gathering. They'll be gone in a flash, and no one will know they only took you 20 minutes to throw together! For this recipe, I used pitted dates, so I didn't have to spend time removing the pits prior to ...
