Tasty Tuesday: Sharing Some ARWB Favorites

Enjoy these favorites from some of our ARWB gals.

AMI LEE: VEGAN “CHICKEN” SALAD

If you live in The South you know “salad sandwiches” are a staple food. Whether it’s egg, chicken, or tuna salad sandwiches, it is an essential Southern dietary staple. It’s the perfect Spring & Summer food for picnics and always makes me nostalgic for those days with my family driving up the mountain to Wolf Pen.

STEPHANIE BUCKLEY: HAM-STUFFED BISCUITS WITH APPLE BUTTER

We plan weddings around bye weekends, put on our Sunday best a day early; and set up makeshift living rooms under tents complete with our great-grandmother’s silver, floral arrangements and flat-screen TVs outside the stadiums. Welcome to tailgate season in the South.

No party is complete without a spread of good food. Tailgating food can range from burgers and brats on the grill to things I typically found my grandmother serving to her guests, such as deviled eggs, chicken salad, cheese straws, beautiful pies and cakes (with icing the color of your team, of course).

JULIE KOHL: RESTAURANT STEAK AT HOME

I used to believe it was only possible to have a good steak at a restaurant. Cooked to perfection with just a bit of pink in the middle; juicy, tender and flavorful. It seemed that every time I cooked steak at home it was dry, tough and lacked flavor.

I assumed it was because restaurants had access to better cuts of meat but it turns out that it was really because I was cooking the steaks completely wrong.

After a lot of trial and error at home, I finally landed on a recipe that closely mimics the quality of a restaurant-style steak. READ MORE
