The warm corn and Cotija cheese dip is a great update from the traditional spinach and artichoke dip we always see on winter party buffets. It can be assembled ahead of time and is served right in the cast iron skillet it is cooked in. Here is our Recipe for Warm Corn and...
When I am in South Carolina, I can't get enough shrimp and grits. The classic recipe is comfort food at it's finest! As we close out Southern Food month, I knew better than to try my Yankee hand at the traditional recipe that's delicious for any meal of the day. Instead...
If you've ever been to a cocktail party or special event in the south, you know all about pimento cheese. Down there, this spread is best served on Ritz crackers or white bread with the crusts cut off. I love the tradition, but when when I recently picked up the new Chile...
Before you head out for one last lazy summer weekend, I'd like to share a drink recipe to celebrate September, our month of all things southern. I wanted to create something that paired one of Wisconsin's favorite drinks, the Old Fashioned, with one of my adopted state, South Carolina's favorites, sweet...

I've spent a lot of time at bachelor parties over the years, and really enjoyed getting out with the guys for my own - we took in a Brewer's game and had a nice steak dinner afterward. Although it was a pretty chill afternoon with the guys, I knew the...
Mrs. Tall Guy and I took this last weekend off to celebrate our friend's marriage to a great guy. Congrats Tashia and Chris! It was my only weekend off all summer because we are officially in wedding season! Yes, from showers to bachelor parties to the big event to the...
Good old homemade comfort food. That's what these pork chops are. It's an easy family recipe that's quick to prepare and seriously tasty. I'll admit, I put a little southern spin on it with smoked gouda mac and cheese on the side, but this is some traditional Sicilian cuisine that...
