jalapeno-ranch cole slaw
We southerners like our cabbage, and we use it in lots of southern food, especially coleslaw. Looking for coleslaw recipes that are something a little out of the ordinary? If so, you’ll enjoy this coleslaw recipe that I just created today. It has a marvelous taste and texture, and it goes great will just about everything.

Roast chicken – southern style
Chicken is a favorite southern food, and we cook it in all sorts of ways. An easy, stress-free way to cook the poultry is with a good roast chicken recipe. This roasted chicken recipe includes some of the favorite flavors of the South, and the bird is tender, juicy, and delicious. The flavors are also reminiscent of Lowcountry recipes. Serve the roast chicken with roasted vegetables and potatoes, with mashed potatoes, or with rice. It’s also good with sweet potatoes.

teriyaki-garlic steak recipe
This is a great steak recipe for sirloin. Sirloin isn’t always the tenderest of beef cuts, and the marinade I use for this recipe makes the meat tender. It also gives it a lot of wonderful flavor. I like to slice my sirloin steaks into long strips to give it more surface area so that it’ll soak up more of the marinade. An easy way to cut the steak into strips is to roll the steak up and then slice it, across the grain. Before rolling it up, however, you might want to rub some meat tenderizer into the beef. If you do, use unseasoned meat tenderizer.

southern food: seafood salad
This is another of my pescatarian recipes. It’s a great way to use leftover boiled shrimp and blue crabs. Actually, you can use any type of crabmeat in this recipe, but I think blue crabs are the tastiest of all the different varieties of crabs. In fact, I find that blue crabs are best in most of the crab recipes I make. That could just be because I’m from the South, and we can catch our own blue crabs.

spicy vegetarian soup recipe
All vegetarian recipes don’t have to be boring. In fact, I have several hearty soup recipes that don’t contain any type of flesh. The one I’m sharing with you today is an easy soup recipe that’s not only hearty and delicious, it’s also healthy and super easy to make. The beefy flavor and texture comes from Meal Starters, a product made by Morning Star. Its texture and flavor are very similar to hamburger meat that’s been browned and then broken up into crumbles.

Hoppin' John – one of the better-known Lowcountry recipes.
If you live in the United States, you’ve probably heard of Lowcountry recipes, although you might not be completely sure about what they are. Perhaps you’ve also seen the term presented as Low Country recipes. Lowcountry recipes are cooking techniques, ingredients, and traditions that originate in the Lowcountry. The Lowcountry is usually considered as the coastal area and small offshore islands of South Carolina, although many people also include the coast and sea islands of Georgia in the term. The name comes from the fact that this is a geographically low-lying area of flat plains, marshes, estuaries, and beaches.
Peach bourbon barbecue sauce is great on pork!
The best BBQ sauces, in my opinion, are made from southern recipes. Since barbecued pork is such a popular southern food, this isn’t surprising. The following BBQ sauce recipe is sweet and tangy, with a punch of good southern bourbon. For a spicier sauce, increase the amount of cayenne. You might also want to add some hot sauce to the recipe for extra heat.

Try this cocktail sauce recipe with steamed or boiled shrimp.
Delicious southern food extends far beyond fried chicken, and great southern recipes include lots more than biscuits and cornbread. The South also has fresh seafood, including shrimp, blue crabs, stone crabs, scallops, crawfish, clams, oysters, and finned fishes. Most of this seafood tastes great all by itself, but it’s often even better when served with a seafood sauce. For many folks, this means cocktail sauce.

southern food – corn salad
I love corn and practically all corn recipes – especially when they’re southern recipes. While hot dishes made with corn, like fried corn and corn casserole, are my favorites, I sometimes enjoy a cold corn salad. Corn salad is especially refreshing in the summer, but we actually eat it throughout the year. This corn salad includes southern food favorites like Vidalia onion, bell pepper, tomato, and hot peppers.

traditional Thanksgiving recipes
I’m sure most of my U.S. readers already know how to make traditional green bean casseroles. They’re extremely popular American recipes and are often served with Thanksgiving dinner. But those readers who live outside the U.S. might enjoy this recipe. I make my green bean casserole just a little different than most people do. I’m more generous with the fried onions and the mushroom soup. Also, I don’t generally use French-cut beans. Instead, I use kitchen-sliced green beans.
