Tomato Head’s Grit Casserole with Mushroom Cream Sauce
I can’t recall my first memory of grits. I may have blocked it. That’s not because of any dislike, per se, but more likely it comes down to shame. I suspect that my first encounter with grits involved copious butter with lots and lots of sugar, too. And as any self-respecting Southerner will tell you,…

Pumpkin Pancakes
Let’s face it: The Great Pumpkin has arrived and left a trail of spice dust from latte to Little Debbie. And I’m mostly okay with that. I like the way it tastes, and I love riding the wave of nostalgia that each sip or bite brings. It’s a warm current of memory that I look…

Scones
Lord knows we love a biscuit. Fluffy, warm, dripping in butter and slathered in jam or glistening with honey, the very thought jump starts the appetite and sets the mouth to water.

Jezebel Sauce
We give the devil his due. I mean, everyone knows who the devil is whether he’s an ex-lover or ex-friend, a boss of special evilness or just a particularly vexing detail; even if we mean the angel of light or prince of darkness, we know about the devil in his more obvious guises. So when…

Biscuits and Gravy Day
One of the many beautiful things about food is that not only can it tell you where you are, it can also take you where you want to be. Biscuits and gravy tell me that I’m at home in the South, but, on many of my long spells living away from home, that same dish…

National Bagel and Lox Day at Tomato Head
First of all, we’re early – but we’re okay with that. National Bagel and Lox Day is actually on February 9th, which is this coming Tuesday; but that doesn’t feel right to us at all. Seeing as Bagels and Lox are really one of the essential parts of a worthwhile brunch menu, we reckon that…
