Home-Style Chicken – By Request!
March 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I have been in Dallas, this week, at my daughter and son-in-law’s house helping out while my son-in-law had knee surgery. Everyone is so thoughtful and keeps bringing over sweet treats to enjoy. But of course I couldn’t resist cooking and testing lots of recipes from my new women’s lifestyle book coming out this fall – which I cannot wait because it is SO GOOD! My daughter said she loved the Home-Style Chicken with gravy and rice and my facebook friends have requested I share this dish early…nothing beats smothered chicken and gravy, and of course, its super easy to make. It will be your... [Read the full story]

My Larynx Cancer and Nutrition Experience
February 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment
I am Holly’s father, a laryngectomee (my larynx or voice box is removed), and I speak with an artificial larynx. I have visited many throat cancer patients in the hospital after they had an operation where they lost their voice, and I always give the patients the Eating Well Through Cancer Cookbook. After I had my throat cancer operation I was very weak. I had to have cancer treatments for three months. I also had to have nutritional meals to gain back my strength. I was very lucky to have a daughter who is a cookbook author. In order to get me through this crisis Holly would put nutritional... [Read the full story]

Southwestern Chicken and Black Bean Salad with Citrus Vinagrette-Go Red For Women Luncheon
January 28, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Southwestern Chicken Salad-Citrus Vinaigrette When I was asked to be co-chairman of the Go Red For Women Luncheon with the American Heart Association in Baton Rouge, I immediately agreed. The purpose of this event is to encourage local women to take charge of their heart health as a top priority, after all, as women, we seem to be the caretakers of everyone else! If you never have been to this event in your hometown, you will want to go. Think of a room filled with women all dressed in red together for a common cause–it is very moving. For the past two years I have provided the menu... [Read the full story]

Mediterranean Layered Spread-Super Dip for Super Bowl
January 20, 2010 · 1 Comment
Whenever I have company, a metting or crave my favorite spread, I turn to this reicpe. When the people behind Jumpstart came to my house…of course, I whipped up this appetizer. I was delighted to be asked to support them–their goal is to label healthy food in the grocery stores and to have healthier meals in the schools. So, of course, I served food to the group. This is my favorite entertaining recipe and best of all, I am having the leftover dip now with a glass of wine. You will be hearing lots about Jumpstart with me in the near future. And, every time I entertain,... [Read the full story]

House Full of Food and Kids for Mardi Gras
February 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Shrimp Cheese Grits Casserole I am exhausted! I had 30 wonderful kids with me all weekend as we all went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans. My daughter, Haley, invited 30 of her friends from Wash U in St. Louis to come experience Mardi Gras for the first time. Many had never even been to the South so of course I had to have lots of food!! We had 5 king cakes and I cooked our classic Louisiana dishes that feed a crowd. I made Shrimp and Cheese Grits from Freezer Friendly Meals, ahead of time and froze so I didn’t have to spend hours in the kitchen when everyone got there. I also had to make our...

Crispy Southwestern Lasagna: Make Ahead Recipes: Freeze and Please
February 21, 2010 · 2 Comments
Crispy Southwesetern Lasagna What’s great about freezing is you can cook on your own time frame. When I was on the NBC Weekend Today show preparing a recipe for Crispy Southwestern Lasagna from my first trim& Terrific cookbook, the book soared to #4 on Amazon!!! My kids were finally impressed, but, I knew what was impressing everyone: freezing! So, in all my cookbooks, I have a snowflake symbol to indicate freezer friendly recipes. I then wrote a cookbook that focuses on freezing, Holly Clegg trim&TERRIFIC Frezzer Friendly Meals, for all those that like to cook on their... [Read the full story]
