Deconstructed Sushi Bowls

January 13, 2017 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Happy Friday!  While it seems like everyone is enjoying warm and cozy meals like soup this week,  we are craving these Deconstructed Sushi Bowls!  That is because our weather is in the high 60s here in Chattanooga!  Last week to my boys delight, we had a dusting of snow and ice, which of course meant no school, but this week we are back to mild (and even warm) winter days.  I am not complaining,

These hootenanny pancakes are one of my boys very favorite breakfasts, so I thought it was time to bring out of the archives and into the spotlight with some new pictures!

The BEST Gluten Free Sugar Cookies

January 9, 2017 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

This Christmas I made two batches of these wonderful sugar cookies for my gluten free boys.  They are so good, that my whole family kept eating them!  They are crispy on the outside and soft, chewy in the middle.  They seem to melt in your mouth!  We put icing and sprinkles on a few just for fun, but they really don't need frosting.  I used the gluten free flour mixture that I posted here a few

Sausage, Collard Greens and Black Eyed Pea Stew

Happy New Year!   I hope you had wonderful holiday season with your family and friends.  We sure enjoyed ourselves at my house, but all good things must come to an end and today my boys went back to school.  Sad, but also kind of nice to be back on a schedule again.  We have all our Christmas decor packed away for next year and the house almost put back together.   Now we are moving on to

The BEST Southern Biscuits and Gravy

December 13, 2016 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Mmmm, I am excited to share this recipe with you for The BEST Southern Biscuits and Gravy around!  Before I moved to the South, I had never even tried Biscuits and Gravy before.  It was not a dish we have ever had 'out west', at least not in my family.  Here in the South, you can get biscuits and gravy anywhere.  It is a very common menu item and it seems like everyone

My Big Fat Greek Tacos

I made these fun greek tacos for my boys the night we introduced them to the movie 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' !  The tacos and the movie were a BIG hit!  They found the movie hilarious as we knew they would!  Even though my boys normally prefer the classic ground beef (boring) taco,  they were actually super excited to try these!  I love the power of a great name! It is one of my best dinner time

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
