Black-Eyed Pea "Caviar" Is a Deep-South Delicacy
Don't let the name fool you: this "LA Caviar" is neither from Los Angeles nor made from caviar. Rather, the "LA" stands for "Lower Alabama," the coastal corner of Alabama that's home to Lulu's at Homeport Marina, a beachside restaurant owned by Jimmy Buffett's sister, Lucy Buffett. I borrowed this recipe from a Southern friend a few years back, and it's since become one of my favorite easy and healthy dips to whip up for parties.

Name That Soul Food!
With the Fourth of July fast approaching, I've been in the mindset of paying homage to my favorite American foods. But as much as I love our country's biggest icons — like hot dogs and hamburgers — there's one genre of American cuisine that can't go overlooked, and that's soul food. This month is National Soul Food Month, so I thought I'd test your knowledge of traditional African-American Southern cuisine.
Southern Side: Creamed Collard Greens
I'm a little sick of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. That's why this year I plan on serving slightly different versions of old favorites — like a turkey roulade instead of a whole roasted turkey, for instance.
Rather than the usual green bean casserole, I'm reaching for a neo-Southern riff on the creamed spinach standby, and plan on impressing guests with creamed collard greens.
Southern (Indian) Thanksgiving
This story was written by member courtneyd and comes from the Kitchen Goddess group in the YumSugar Community.
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat). So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven.
Sunday Dinner: Cassoulet-Style Chicken Thighs
Filled with anticipation of the workweek, Sunday night can easily fall short of a relaxing evening. So, to keep my thoughts at bay, I'm going to prepare the ultimate in comfort food: cassoulet, a pork and bean casserole that hails from southern France.
Traditional cassoulet can be heavy and time-intensive, but I've found one that's luscious yet light — and takes less than an hour to prepare.
Paula Deen's Awkward Appearance on the View
Food Network host Paula Deen appeared on The View this week to promote her new children's cookbook. Those who caught it know that it wasn't pretty to watch. Put the sassy Paula Deen and the straight-laced Barbara Walters together, and you get an uncomfortable dynamic.
Paula Deen Reportedly Considering Talk-Show Gig
Rumors are buzzing that production giant Telepictures is looking to develop a morning show in the style of The View with none other than celebrity mom Kate Gosselin and Southern cooking queen Paula Deen.
TV host Paula Deen already has three Food Network shows under her belt: Paula's Home Cooking, Paula's Party, and Paula's Best Dishes. Although Deen signed a deal with Telepictures to host her own syndicated talk show, the series never happened.
Burning Question: Are Cajun and Creole Cooking the Same?
It's an age-old question: is there a distinction between Cajun and Creole cooking — or are they really just the same thing?
The answer is somewhere in between. Creole cooking evolved out of the cosmopolitan culture of New Orleans, a city affected by the influx of international colonists who settled there after the Louisiana Purchase.
Do You Know What's Cooking This Week?
We've spent most of this week mentally preparing (read: getting excited) for the long weekend. We bookmarked Chick-fil-A's holiday giveaway. We learned all sorts of fun facts about the food culture of Labor Day.
Killer App: Spicy Onion and Tomato Dip
This weekend, I'll be spending Labor Day at a friend's barbecue bash. She's already got the barbecue and its essential accoutrements entirely covered, so I've been racking my brain to come up with an appropriate contribution. I had no idea what that was going to be — until I had a lightbulb moment for the perfect pièce de résistance.Since I won't be spending the holiday with family, I figure I'll bring a bit of my family to the festivities.
