There must be something in the water down in the
boondocks, cause the country ladies sure do know how to cook. Kimberly
Schlapman, the blonde half of the ladies who make up half of the country
quartet Little Big Town is out with her first ever collection of down home
cookin’ recipes.
She divides Oh
Gussie! – Cooking and Visiting in Kimberly Southern Kitchen into five
sections; family, friends, music, home and away. Along the way she covers the
gamut from soups/stews to deserts and snacks and dips to main meals.
You won’t be forced to search high and low to find some
exotic ingredients, herbs or spices; what you’ve got here is simple down home
cooking. Flavor takes the lead throughout with tons of fresh ingredients front
and center.
Schlapman adds some interesting twists to the recipes
offering up recipe post scripts that offer up simple steps, lower calorie
alternatives, and kids tips that she labels with tags like, “Southern Simple,” “Southern
Skinny,” and “Southern Mother.”
She had my mouth watering throughout, but she put me
over the edge when slipped in the “Southern Simple” tip that here cheese laden
Vidalia Onion Dip made a great filling for a grilled cheese sandwich…YUM! fire up
the frying pan!
