My guest this week is Carrie Morey with her latest book “Hot Little Suppers.”
Hot Little Suppers is more than just a book on cooking for families–it’s an invitation to get together and have some fun in the kitchen.
Nobody is better equipped to tackle the subject of incorporating family into the process than Carrie Morey, who grew up cooking with her mother and whose daughters have worked side-by-side with her in her kitchen and business, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit.
Structured by seasons, the 120+ recipes are divided into easy-to-prepare weeknight meals and slightly more involved weekend dishes. Carrie incorporates beautiful, bright flavors from a range of culinary traditions.
In Hot Little Suppers, Carrie shares delicious recipes such as:
- Tangy Thai Chicken Salad
- Pork Ragu with Pappardelle
- Meatloaf with Crispy Onions
- Fried Green Tomatoes
- Veggie Tortilla Soup
Embedded within each section are tips for involving kids in the adventure, suggestions for serving a crowd, and variations on recipes that can satisfy different dietary restrictions and palates.
Additionally, each chapter includes recipes for sides, drinks, and desserts that make tasty accompaniments, as well as sidebars with “Hot Little Tips” for everything from tailgating like a pro to starting dinner conversations with teens. Hot Little Suppers includes material about staples to keep on hand for putting suppers together, Carrie’s secrets to organizing your pantry, and beautiful photography throughout that captures techniques, finished dishes, and warm lifestyle shots of Carrie’s family.

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
Chandon Brut Rosé
In the glass, this Rose is a pretty pink with intense ripe strawberry, juicy watermelon, and fresh red cherry fruit aromas and flavors. On the palate, this wine is creamy and seductive with a defined structure from the Pinot Noir added in its final stages. Chandon Rosé is very fond of salmon and tuna sushi, and also goes well with beef, duck, and lamb.

The Chandon Brut Rosé is lovely and enticing. This wine exhibits a pleasing mix of fresh red fruits, earth, and dust in its aromas and flavors. Pair it with Thai Basil Chicken, and go lightly with the red chiles.
Smooth and luxurious, this rich and balanced wine layers persimmon and ginger over white cherry and raspberry for a complex and delicious expression. It is smooth, medium bodied and balanced toward the soft side.
