  • Back in February, @thekitchn posted a recipe for Coconut Bread. I love all things coconut so I had to dive in.⁠ ⁠ This is a great recipe, but I had to jazz it up a little. I added some frozen mango chunks, I had in the freezer. I didn't have sour cream , so I used plain greek yogurt. Just as tasty and moist.⁠ ⁠ I used toasted coconut in the topping. This didn't work so great because of the baking so just use regular. Also make sure you use unsweetened coconut. The sugar will cause it to burn more quickly. Plus this cake has a perfect level of sweetness. ⁠ ⁠ You can store this bread for 4-5 days in an airtight container. Once it is a little stale, toast is and slather it with butter. YUM!⁠ ⁠ I will link the recipe in my bio.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ #easyrecipe #snack #fruit #coconut #quickbread⁠ #thebakefeed #foodgasm #instagood #delicious #foodies #food #eeeeeats #recipe #brunch #dessert #breakfast #morning⁠ #instayum #thefeedfeed #foodie #instafood #yum⁠ #baking #buzzfeedfood #yummy
  • Ugh! When my kids were little, they loved instant ramen. I'm sure you can imagine how awful that was for me to let them eat. But, as any mother knows, sometimes you have to choose your battles.⁠ ⁠ My younger daughter still likes to grab ramen as a quick comfort meal. I admit, she still likes the packet that comes with it. However, she found @publicgoods and their product is excellent!⁠ ⁠ Their seasoning is a liquid, so to get the flavor a little closer to the original, I made my own "seasoning packet".⁠ ⁠ You now I love a good spice blend, to pop in my pantry. No matter what it is there is always multiple uses. This is no different. Feel free to multiply the recipe. Wait to taste/smell before upping the kosher salt. The bouillon powder has quite a bit of sodium so you may not need more salt.⁠ ⁠ Ramen "Seasoning Packet:⁠ ⁠ In an airtight jar, mix:⁠ 3 tsp. bouillon powder⁠ 2 tsp. garlic powder⁠ 1 tsp. onion powder⁠ 1 tsp. dried parsley⁠ 1/2 tsp. ground ginger⁠ 1/2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper⁠ 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt⁠ 1/4 tsp. turmeric⁠ 1/4 tsp. cayenne ( you can use less or more depending on how spicy you like it)⁠ ⁠ Shake and store for up to 3 months in air tight jar in pantry. Be sure to shake it up before using.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ #food #yum #DIY #homemade #spiceblends #foodstagram #hungry #comfort #foodie #foodblog #foodlove #momlife #ramen #spicepacket⁠
  • I"M BACK!!! I have definitely missed posting here. Let's get caught up.⁠ ⁠ A good recipe, found on social media, is one that turns out as planned, when you make it. A GREAT recipe is one that you can add ingredients, or change them up, and the end result is still amazing!⁠ ⁠ Such is the case with @westoftheloop Spinach & Cheese Mina. It is cheesy and flavorful and satisfies.⁠ ⁠ Here are the changes/additions I made:⁠ ⁠ Emily's recipe called for leeks, scallions and chives. My family will tell you they don't like onions. I put them in almost everything. I often will hide them or caramelize them to tame the strong flavor. Here I subbed out leeks for 1-1/2 cups of caramelized chopped onions. I also omitted the chives and garnished with chopped parsley.⁠ ⁠ I added frozen artichoke hearts. I let them thaw and then heated them through with the caramelized onions, before adding them to the whole mixture.⁠ ⁠ Finally, I had some leftover chicken soup. I moistened the matzo with the soup, to build flavor. check the seasoning (Salt& Pepper) before the final mix.⁠ ⁠ My family loved it! Thanks Emily! I will add a link to her recipe in my bio.⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #foodstagram #foodbloggers ⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove #matzo #spinach #artichoke #vegetarian #cheesy #goodness #eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies #passover2022
  • So I stumbled onto @bdylanhollis on TikTok and instantly loved his posts. I am the owner of many old time recipes and love the way he creates and reviews the recipes he finds. I admit I've tried a few of the recipes.⁠ ⁠ This recipe for Cornmeal Cookies has worked its way into regular rotation. They are surprisingly good. I did, of course make an adjustment to the original recipe, after I made it the first time, as is. ⁠ ⁠ I thought the recipe was too sweet. I changed to sugar to all brown sugar. I intend to cut the butter in the next iteration, but something about the brown sugar changed the way the butter worked and the recipe was great.⁠ ⁠ I will link the recipe in my bio. Also, I have dipped these half way in dark chocolate and it was delicious!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #foodbloggers ⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove #foodstagram #eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies #cookies #heritagerecipes
  • Ahhh lemon! I love everything about you! ⁠ ⁠ The peak citrus season is starting to wrap up and I have dozens of lemons just waiting to be used. I came upon a recipe from @FamilyStyleFood and fell in love. I changed it up a little. ⁠ ⁠ These cookies are perfect. They have a great texture from the cornmeal and they strike the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness with the glaze. The rosemary is just a subtle hit of herbiness. You could use tarragon instead of rosemary.⁠ ⁠ Thanks to my friend @runlikecrazy (Stacy) for all the wonderful lemons!⁠ ⁠ Recipe is linked in my bio.⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #lemon #polenta #foodbloggers #rosemary #italian #citrus #cookies⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove #foodstagram #eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies
  • Earlier this year, I found this recipe for Earl Grey Tea Cake with Dark Chocolate and Orange, on NYT Cooking. It sounded really intriguing so decided to make it.⁠ ⁠ It is definitely an adaptation of the recipe but I made a few changes. The first change a that My tea didn't strain completely. It left flakes and while I think it looks interesting, I think it would be nicer with a smooth frosting. However, I love the tea flavored creamy color, so steep the tea until strong. I also added orange zest to the frosting. It was such a nice fresh addition.⁠ ⁠ For the cake, I added about 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice and I melted the chocolate versus leaving it in chunks.⁠ ⁠ Many thanks to my friend @carolyn.ormond for loaning me her beautiful #candlewickglass 8"cake plate.⁠ ⁠ This recipe is great for a luncheon dessert or even a #CakeforBreakfast. I will link the recipe in my bio.⁠ ⁠ #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe #whiskinthesouthern ⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #foodbloggers ⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove #foodstagram #eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies
  • I am so lucky to have received some gorgeous pink grapefruits from a friends tree!⁠ ⁠ I imagined all sorts of recipes but made this grapefruit loaf cake, adapted from a recipe by @smittenkitchen.⁠ ⁠ I love the way the pink grapefruit pulps pops out in the glaze and the cake.⁠ ⁠ I made it with sour cream, which lends a creaminess without getting too sweet. I also put zest and juice in the cake to really amp up the grapefruit flavor.⁠ ⁠ From start to finish this cake was less than 4 hours to make, including cooling time. I will link the recipe in my bio.⁠ ⁠ What are your favorite citrus recipes this time of year?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #foodstagram #foodbloggers #grapefruit #loafcake #cake #citrusseason #fruit #citrus⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove #eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies
  • Still feeling the Mediterranean vibes from yesterday's baklava, I made the NYT Lemony Shrimp White Bean Stew.⁠ ⁠ I added extra lemon juice for a bright lemony flavor and finished it with a drizzle of @weareBrightland Awake Olive Oil. You can also add some red pepper flakes, for some heat.⁠ I also served it with @traderjoes frozen mini baguettes. They were the perfect size so everyone gets there own.⁠ ⁠ I will link the recipe in my bio.⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #foodstagram #foodbloggers #lemon #coldnightdinner⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove #shrimp #eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies
  • When you invite friends for dinner and the only dietary restriction you don't have to worry about is nuts, you make #baklava for dessert.⁠ ⁠ One of the requests was to use honey or 100% cane sugar only. I used cane sugar in the nut mix and only honey in the syrup. It was very sweet but delicious!⁠ ⁠ I used pistachios, walnuts and hazelnuts. I pulsed some of the nuts fine and left other fairly intact to get a great texture in every bite.⁠ ⁠ I will link the recipe in my bio⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #whiskinthesouthern #cakeforbreakfast #shoeboxfullofrecipes #thinkoutsidetherecipe⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #food #yummy #delicious #foodie #homemade #homecook #goodeats #igfood #foodstagram #foodbloggers #canesugar #honey #foodrestrictions⁠ #foodblog #hungry #eats #foodpics #homecooking #foodlove#eatingfortheinsta #foodforfoodies #greekfood #inspired
