Here, watermelon gives up its usual place at the table as a fruit and goes to work in a role usually occupied by its cousin, the cucumber. The melon is a lovely foil for the salty feta, tangy onion, and tart vinegar. It makes a refreshing and unusual salad for any summer brunch, luncheon, or dinner.

Pour this dressing over mixed greens such as Romaine, Boston, and one or two types of bitter greens.

In the restaurant, we serve our guests hot cheese biscuits and hoecake cornbread at lunchtime, but at dinner we swap out the hoecakes for these wonderful melt-in-your-mouth corn muffins.

This bread kicks traditional monkey bread’s butt! It’s the best.

These biscuits take me back to my days at The Bag Lady, I would put a couple of these in each lunch container for an extra treat! They are wonderful.
