Posted by Hallee on Sep 2, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Recipes, sides

I saw someone reference a sweet potato hash somewhere a few months ago, and I thought that sounded really good, so I came up with a recipe. This was so good – it was hearty enough to be the main dish of a meal.

Fresh Peach Pie with Whole Wheat Crust

Posted by Hallee on Aug 19, 2010 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

Peaches just taste like summertime to me. I love biting into a sun-warmed peach and having the burst of juice and sweet flesh fill my mouth. I had a big basket of peaches recently and wanted to capture some of that summer sunshine for dessert that night. So I made a fresh peach pie as if it were an apple pie. It was amazing.

Rosemary & Garlic Grilled Birmingham Lamb Loin Chops

Posted by Hallee on Aug 5, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Mediterranean, Recipes, entrees

I made this lamb in a hotel room in Birmingham, Alabama. The lamb was purchased at Fresh Market and was from a local farmer. It was AMAZING. As I type this it’s 8:00 in the morning and I’m wishing I had another plate of it.

Savory Traditional Chicken Tamales

Posted by Hallee on Jul 30, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Mexican, Recipes, entrees

Gregg judges a Mexican restaurant by their tamales. If they aren’t hand made, steamed in a corn husk, with the right favors he simply won’t go back to that restaurant. Consequently, it took me several years to even attempt a recipe for tamales. I was so excited to find one that he loves.

Quick & Easy Sloppy Joes

Posted by Hallee on Jul 9, 2010 in American Quisine, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, entrees

My dad came up with this recipe one time. My mom was somewhere doing something and Daddy had to make dinner. He browned hamburger then started dumping things into the pan. He used home canned tomatoes and home canned green beans, which made his version amazing. I’ve not enjoyed Sloppy Joes without the green veggie since.

I derived this recipe from Food Network’s Ina Garten. It tastes just like summertime to me. It is also beautiful when it’s sliced. It has become a summer staple in our house.

Comfort Food Meatloaf

Posted by Hallee on Jul 9, 2010 in American Quisine, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, entrees

Meatloaf is one of my favorite dishes, if I prepare it or if my mother prepares it. I’ve learned not to order it in restaurants or get it off of buffets, because a lot of people do something to it that I just don’t do – but I’m not sure what that is. I’ve always used green peppers when I make it, but I didn’t have any the day I made it for these pictures, so I used yellow peppers. I LOVED the difference. I will from now on use yellow peppers to make my meatloaf.

Hallee’s Fabulous ‘Travel’ Sandwiches

Posted by Hallee on Jun 9, 2010 in American Quisine, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, entrees

My family calls these travel sandwiches because when we go on a trip, we always have some in our cooler. Whenever we stop for lunch, we just cut chunks of sandwich off and pass them out. They are beyond delicious, incredibly good for you, and better the longer they sit.
