Pimento Cheese, Not Your Grandma's Spread

Pimento cheese is one of those foods that has been so corrupted by the food industry that it has become synonymous with other crappy foods like Spam.  I'm not even certain what store bought pimento cheese might contain, nor do I want to find out.  It's a shame because pimento cheese can be a delightful treat, even if it does Read the full post…

Mention collards, turnip or mustard greens and many people may not have a clue what they are or be able to tell the difference.  Most people are familiar with spinach, broccoli and various lettuces and may even eat them.  But we seldom think about dark leafy greens and how important they are to our diet.

Obesity And Knee Surgery

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 27, 2012 ]

Give Beets A Try

[ Post by Lisa Tedder ][ Post on September 13, 2012 ]

Why do beets have such a bad reputation?  What icky beet dish did cooks of old concoct that has turned this innocent vegetable into the butt of jokes?   Growing up, I honestly don’t remember eating beets and we ate all kinds of vegetables.  I’m not sure why we didn’t eat beets and I don’t Read the full post…
