Featuring: From Jennifer's Kitchen

I was delighted to be gifted with a sampling of pepper jelly from Jennifer Lee of From Jennifer's Kitchen a few weeks back.  When southern hosts start thinking of a festive holiday appetizer, most immediately think of pepper jelly.  I for one cannot

Peppermint Champagne Cocktail

                                              

It doesn't take much for me to want to throw a party but when a sweet friend celebrates another trip around the sun, well, that's just a must in my book!

Pimento Cheese Fritters

I am back with another segment on great tailgate food.  This week I am happy to introduce you to Pimento Cheese Fritters.  These bad boys were inspired by Chef Daniel Doyle at Poogan's Porch in Charleston, SC.  Serving them with Red Pepper Jelly takes them to a whole different level of deliciousness........seriously, y'all - they are amazing.

You can click here for Chef Doyle's recipe. But you know me, when it comes to tailgate food, I like to make things easy peasy lemon squeasy.  So here's how I made them:

Container of Palmetto Cheese
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup flour (seasoned with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
1 cup milk
1 cup panko bread crumbs seasoned with a dash of salt and pepper

Spoon palmetto cheese into 1-inch balls.
Dip balls into flour, then milk and then roll in panko bread crumbs.  Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for at least an hour.

Pour 3 inches of oil into a pan and bring to 350 degrees over medium heat.  Working in batches, fry fritters until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.  Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.  Serve with Red Pepper Jelly.

And speaking of Pepper Jelly, be sure to try Jennifer's Kitchen Pepper Jelly if you haven't already.

I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!  Next week I'll be lightening up your tailgate so check back soon!

Me:  "Chicken Bog"
Brian:  "What?"
Me:  "Chicken Bog"

Unless you grew up in the low country of South Carolina, you may have had the same reaction.

Coca Cola Glazed Wings

I am excited to share another favorite in our house for tailgates, Chef Virginia Willis' Coca Glazed Wings.  They are lick smackin' good!

A few years ago, my husband bought me Chef Willis' cookbook, Bon Appetit, Y'all for my birthday.

Baked Beans

It's football season in the south - and if there is one thing southerners love, it's a good tailgate!

I made these yummy baked beans last weekend for a Labor Day

Back To School Fun

This has been an exciting couple of days in our house.  My baby started Kindergarten on Monday!!!  Our school does a staggered start for kinders, meaning 1/3 of the class went Monday, 1/3 went Tuesday and the final 1/3 went Wednesday.
