Isn’t this a beautiful appetizer? My friends and neighbors, Jillian and Thad brought it over not too long ago for us to snack on while we finished grilling dinner…and it was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Jillian gladly let me snap a quick picture and jot down the recipe. This marinated cheese appetizer is easy to put together and [...]
Southerners put their heart and soul into their cooking, and take great pride in bringing a smile to a loved one’s face when they bite into one of their delicious creations.

It also includes chunks of lightly browned paneer cheese, which is a fresh curd cheese that is firm like tofu. Many vegetarians enjoy this dish, but it’s equally [...]
Naan is a delicious Indian leavened flatbread that is typically eaten at most meals. Usually, you tear off pieces to use to help scoop up curry.
