Side Dish

Roasted Asparagus & Carrots

You know those side dishes that people actually get excited about? You know, the ones that are just as likely to disappear first as the main event? Well, roasted asparagus and carrots fall squarely into that “everyone-will-want-seconds” territory at my house. Maybe it’s because I grew up with so-so boiled vegetables (sorry, Mom!), so the first time I bit into a caramelized, olive oil-roasted carrot, I thought, “Ohhh, we can do THIS with carrots?” And asparagus? Forget it. My family eats it like fries every time I throw it in the oven—crispy tips, slightly charred edges, a couple of grins …

But these days, roasted and breaded cauliflower totally satisfies that craving for something crispy, warm, and—let’s be real—kind of addictive. A little tangy herby yogurt dip on the side? Well, now we’re talking. …

Dessert

Southern Coca Cola Cake

Okay, confession time: the first moment I ever tasted old-fashioned Southern Coca Cola Cake, I was barefoot in my friend Charlene’s steamy, bustling kitchen, kids running wild through the screen door, and the sun blasting down like it does in July. I’d heard whispers about this cake—how it’s got soda in it, which sounded kinda wild to me—but let me tell you, all those rumors were true. Moist beyond belief, fudgy, topped in what can only be described as a sheet of glossy, crackly chocolate frosting. We practically polished off the entire pan before anyone realized the kids had also …
