Recipes you’ll wish you doubled
Southern Biscuit Board
Letting my roots show with this Southern Biscuit Board. Years ago, we went to a brunch in Louisville, Kentucky for one of my best girlfriend's wedding weekends and had a southern biscuit board with bourbon glazed ham, sweet and savory pickles and all the mustard and it has been living in my brain rent free for 8 years now. This is the perfect thing to whip up for all the spring festivities and so fun to customize AND includes two of my absolute favorite local Southern (and Dallas) products: Texas Brisket Biscuit + SideDish Honey Dijon
Banana (Chia) Pudding
There’s something so nostalgic about banana pudding. My favorite way to eat it growing up was with Nilla wafers layered in to add a crunchy sweet treat to sop up all that creamy, banana flavor! This is my healthier, gluten-free version, great for dessert or a nice afternoon snack!
About Elise
What Would Ina Do?
Hi! I’m Elise, the personal chef and recipe developer behind Coppedge Kitchen.
Raised on the Barefoot Contessa, I fell in love with cooking for others, and in 2020, followed my signature mantra (What would Ina do?). I left my job in finance, went to culinary school, and began cooking for private clients in my hometown of Dallas, which taught me the real key ingredients— understanding what’s worth cooking on repeat, and how to simplify without sacrificing flavor or health.
My philosophy is simple: do your best to cook with what’s in season, don’t overcomplicate it, and lean into flavor. People crave the kind of recipes that feel effortless but impressive. Like that one dress in your closet that’s guaranteed to make you feel amazing and get compliments on. That, but for dinner!
That’s the heart of Coppedge Kitchen: approachable, show-stopping dinners that build confidence in the kitchen, and bring ease to even your busiest nights. Whether I’m cooking for you or you’re cooking with me, you’ll walk away with something worth sharing, and even passing down.
