Sausage and Parmesan Cheese Grits

Sausage and Peppers With Parmesan Cheese Grits Recipe

Picture from "My Recipes."

I found Italian sausage on sale a few weeks ago while at the grocery store.

My boy cherub really likes Italian sausage.

He really likes the Italian sausage and peppers that I make.

But I wasn't in the mood for that the other day.

I was in the mood for grits.

Which is weird.

I don't really ever crave grits.

But I was that day.

And since I was the one cooking, I gave in to my wants.

That's the beautiful thing about "owning" the kitchen!

So I thought, "Self! Italian sausage and grits would probably taste really good together!"

And since I'm smart enough to think of it, I was rather certain that someone else had already thought of it too!

That started my google search!

And sure enough! Someone had already figured it out for me!

I love that!

I found a recipe that sounded great and I made it for dinner and the whole family liked it.

It was also great reheated for leftovers.

And I'm NOT a leftover girl.

I pawn those off to the cherubs for their lunch, remember?

But for this recipe, I was the one having it for lunch the next day!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
