Our summer was a little busy.  My wife’s quick-trip to LA for a cousins wedding turned into a three week stay as a number of birthday celebrations and milestones fell into place.  While home-alone, I enjoyed a Friday night dinner with friends of ours, and although this friend doesn’t write about food, I think she...

I love chickpeas… and I love polenta… so when Kathy Hester asked me to take part in the blog tour for her third new book in as many years, I decided to make a version of her Spicy Southern Chickpeas and Grits.  Both grits and polenta are made from cornmeal, and I was wrong to...
