It came about from a favorite salad of watermelon & feta I discovered years ago here in San Francisco. What I realized as I worked on my version, was to appeal ,in a subtle manner, to both sweet and savory tastes; so that when you finish the meal, you finish on the sweet side and a minute later you get a bit of heat, making you crave more

By now I can imagine many of you know my love of watermelon. I can eat it almost anytime of day or night, as is out of the garden, cubed with a bit of salt, in a salad with some savory spices or even as a cold “chili”. And you know what? The season of watermelon is upon us

Following her Creamy Avocado Guacamole, @justlikegranny dished out this recipe for Club Sandwich Pinwheels during our “Picnic Week 2022” .

The difference between a BBQ and a Picnic where I’m from is very simple. In the south when we say BBQ, or at least in Georgia anyways; we mean meat that we’ve put in the grill that will have BBQ Sauce on it in the future. We also have a word for meat that we’re cooking without sauce and that’s grilling. But, to go back to the topic at hand of the difference between a BBQ and a Picnic. A Picnic requires food made earlier that day or the night before such as items we’ve been cooking here on FoodTokTv during our Picnic Event Series this week in May.

Tiktok’s @justlikegranny was on a roll with this recipe for her take on a creamy Avocado Guacamole

One of those “no - this won’t work” recipes that has become one of my favorite snacks and toppings. The hardest part about the recipe is peeling the avocado and deciding to slice or cube.

The traditional Italian American version of this Easter Ham Pie was something of a “must have” in our house growing up. In fact I can distinctly remember it being my job every year to dice up all the meats in cheese in preparation of the making of it.

The original of recipe, as far as I can tell dates back to the late 70s, early 80sin some of the cookbooks I found.  My version reflects some of my favorite flavors; “Everything but the bagel” style seasoning, goat cheese, bacon, parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes.

A pal recently send me a box of winter citrus fruit from my garden. I don’t like to waste anything so decided this would be a great chance to make some marmalade and freeze. I use this particular marmalade as a topping but it also is great added to the slow cooker or instance with chicken or pork. The sweet-bitter blend mellows further and compliments the meats and vegetables well. There are many versions of this so as with any fruit based dishes, you will need to adjust for sweetness based on the fruit and natural sugars

No matter how you feel about Chick-fil-a, you must make this dressing.
