Spicy Rice and Bean Dip (plus a Riceland giveaway!)

September 15, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner 18 Comments

This spicy rice and bean dip is perfect for any gathering!

Here in the South we love our chip and dip. Tuesday night I made a spicy rice and bean dip for book club. It was my turn to host, and we just happened to be discussing my book, The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee. For a new author like me, this is an exciting thing. It can also feel a little intimidating because, when you think about it, you’ve asked people to take a gander at your  innermost thoughts and give feedback.

While they drink wine.

No biggie.

But back to my spicy rice and bean dip. Continue Reading

Parmesan Croutons – take your salad to a whole other level

Parmesan Croutons

The next time you make a salad, add homemade Parmesan croutons to take your greens to a whole other level. Like the top floor. The ease of preparing these croutons compared to the flavor added will leave you wondering why you don’t always have homemade Parmesan croutons on hand. I call this the Flavor Multiplier Effect (FME) something I just created based on all that economic theory I learned at Baylor in the eighties. Sounds official, doesn’t it?Continue Reading

Company Chicken (for the company staying in our guest quarters)

Company Chicken -a vintage Keiser Kitchen recipe

Hey, hey it’s been a while since I made a recipe from Keiser’s Kitchen vintage cookbook, but today I present Company Chicken (originally submitted by C.W. Bell). Since I have company staying for a week in my guest quarters, how could any other recipe be more perfect? Unless it was called Tom Sweeney Chicken because Tom Sweeney is the writer-friend holed up writing in our guest quarters.

In case you haven’t been following along, click HERE for my post about the origins of the charming Keiser’s Kitchen cookbook along with a picture of me wearing lots of Aqua Net and a cardboard crown. (Other recipes I’ve tested from the same simple cookbook are linked below along with pictures of my guest quarters that I may or may not occasionally rent out.)

The chicken was falling off the bone tender and flavorful. My company liked it and if he didn’t, I have no doubt he’d let me know. He’s from the Northeast.

Here’s the recipe. So easy!

Company Chicken - vintage recipe

Check out the purple mimeograph ink:) And yes, there are vintage stains on this page so obviously my mother made this recipe once upon a time.
