If you’re on the go, here are the five healthiest places to eat in Hattiesburg

Instead of a column this week, I am going to share with you some of my favorite food photos from…

Turkey and dressing, especially with a really good gravy, cranberry sauce, and all the veggie sides, are wonders.

Nothing beats a bowl of hearty soup on a chilly day.

When you think of Ro Tel, you almost certainly think of that cheesy dip that is irresistibly good.

If ever there was a secret ingredient it’s these three simple vegetables.

A hearty stew can brighten the dreariest of days, and although fall is just now starting, it is a good time to think about a good homemade stew.

What’s the difference between grits and polenta?

Have you ever struggled to make fluffy, white rice as they do on TV?  Have you tried steaming it in a pot and burned it?

Crispy, tender, moisty, and I like it just a bit salty. My mother made great fried chicken, but I have never been able to duplicate it.

I have been spending some of these hot summer evenings rereading The Cheese Primer, by Stephen Jenkins. If ever you have a question about cheese, this is the book to visit to have it answered.

How long has it been since you went to a casino to enjoy one of the many restaurants?

Can you imagine what the food cultures of today would be like with no corn?

What about picking up a new cookbook or two?

Henry’s really is one of the local best, and as the name suggests, is a pretty good bakery as well. I love the baguettes they make, so crusty and delicious, and the meat-stuffed pastries are delicious as well.

Sandwiches are not a bad idea, especially if you pair it with a nice salad.
