On September 15th, I received a Facebook message from my friend, Josette Grimsley: “Debbi, my supper club is having a Debbi Covington recipe event this Saturday night. I was wondering if you have a roasted vegetable recipe, either squash or root veggies. If you can direct me to Celebrate Everything! or one of your Lowcountry Weekly articles, I would be so grateful!” Then, I received an email from Becky Baldwin. “Debbi, I understand that Josette has mentioned our Debbi Covington supper club evening. We meet this Saturday and are preparing your recipes. Would love to have you and your husband if you don't have plans.”
This is the time of year when we welcome autumn’s chill, along with a bushel full of fall flavors! The air is crisp and the leaves are changing, heralding the autumn harvest.
If you're a true southerner, then you know what time of year it is. It's Football Season! For the next few months, parties and weddings will be planned around football schedules.
I always gain weight in the summer. It has happened every single summer for as long as I can remember. It's so hard to be active in 95 degree weather when you're a non-athlete, like me.
If variety is the spice of life, then feta is the cheese – at least in this week's recipes! Feta is a brined curd cheese that's traditionally made in Greece. It's an aged crumbly cheese, commonly produced in blocks and has a slightly grainy texture.
We all have friends that deserve a special "thank you." I must admit, as I write this, I'm thinking about wedding party hosts that need reciprocating, but a thank you party for any reason is a good thing. Wouldn't it be fun to host a small party for the people who celebrate with you when you're happy and lift you up when you're down – just to say "thank you?"
