This is no ordinary dulce de leche ice cream recipe. It’s a rich and creamy, vanilla bean ice cream swirled with soft, dulce caramel and spiked with a little dark rum. This caramel rum ice cream is easy to make in your ice cream maker and it seriously rivals the premium brands you’ll find on the market.
[Read More…]Classic homemade ham spread, a.k.a ham salad or deviled ham, is a revelation. It’s tangy, sweet, spicy (according to your tastes) and (depending on your ham), can be salty or mild. Serve this deviled ham recipe with crackers or pita chips for a snack, thickly layered on a sandwich with lettuce, tomato and pickles or piped onto crudite for an easy party appetizer.
[Read More…]Classic Southern Brunswick stew is a meaty, bbq-y blend of meats, veggies and spices. The traditional recipe simmered all day and used everything from pork and beef to rabbit and squirrel. My chicken Brunswick stew is much less intimidating. This savory, sweet and spicy melange is loaded with shredded cooked chicken breasts, potatoes, corn and lima beans and it’s ready to eat in about an hour.

I make it ALL THE TIME because it’s an easy make ahead side dish for picnics, barbecues, potlucks and tailgates and goes well with all our grilled favorites. I like to brown rice for this recipe, but it’s good with white rice too. This healthy black bean and rice salad recipe with tri-color sweet peppers, wholesome brown rice, toothsome, fiber-rich kale and a tangy cumin lime dressing is my secret weapon for summer entertaining.
