Shark Steak with Mango-Avocado Salsa

August 8, 2011

Can you guess what we’ve been watching this past week? No, not Goodfellas but that’s pretty close. True Blood? Why yes but that’s not the show I’m hinting at. This past week we were glued to the TV every evening enthralled with visions of power, muscle and teeth. Shark Week took over all regularly scheduled […]

SLT Sandwiches with Spicy Creole Spread

April 22, 2011

I love shrimp. Yes I do, do you? Now I know that some of you out there don’t and that’s okay, even Surferboy isn’t a fan. But I have to warn y’all I cook shrimp quite frequently. Why? Well let’s see they’re practically swimming beside me at the beach and someone is selling them […]

Croque Monsieur

March 30, 2011

As you all know I was recently in Savannah relaxing with some good friends. Savannah is one of those rare places that spoke to me. It whispered sweet nothings to my heart and beckoned me to uproot my family and move further south. Unfortunately sweet Savannah has no waves for my surferboy and his pull […]

Bean & Rice Pouches: Easy, quick & healthy

August 26, 2010

Nope, we didn’t fall into the ocean ya’ll or run away to a deserted island with perfect swell. Nor did we grow gills and swim off. The crazy surf family is still here on the south-east coast but we are definitely into what I call, ” Full on busy mode”, with school for both monkeys […]

Shrimp + Grits = Love

July 12, 2010

When you live just moments from the ocean you get used to eating the bounty of the sea. Not everyone enjoys all of the variety that the sea offers and some people take longer to come around. Point in case my monkeys, yet it will happen one day. They will get with the program, once […]

Pasta Fagioli with Eggplant

June 18, 2010

As you all know we were running cray last week. Who am I kidding we run crazy all summer long. We just happen to be a very active family that is hardly ever home. I don’t mind this lifestyle, that is until it interferes with my playtime in the kitchen. I have recipes that I […]

Quick Fix Honey Mustard Chicken

May 7, 2010

Have you ever had one of those evenings where time just vanished and you didn’t know where to? Sometimes I feel like the magicians assistant. One minute I am in a box, present and accounted for the next… POOF!! Alakazam! I am gone until he brings me back. In the interim life goes on. Yesterday […]

Fried Green Tomato BLT

April 29, 2010

Tonight I am sharing with you all my twist on two of my favorite summer yummies. Yesterday I went with a couple of girlfriends to the farmers market and came across some beautiful fresh green tomatoes. Fresh green tomatoes = Fried Green Tomatoes in my book but I was also craving a BLT for lunch […]

Little Bites of Goodness: Part Three of Four

March 29, 2010

I can’t tell you all how long I have wanted to try this. Some where around Thanksgiving or Christmas I saw a chef on one of those reality cooking shows, sorry I can’t remember which one, make Parmesan bowls. That’s so cool! I can do that…I have to try that!, came bursting from my lips. […]

Guinness Kielbasa Stew for St. Patty’s Day

March 17, 2010

I have to be honest with ya’ll and tell you that I am not a fan of Corn Beef and Cabbage. Now, now… don’t lynch me. It wouldn’t be me if I wasn’t offending some part of my families traditional foodie sensibilities. Over the years I have developed my own traditional St. Patty’s Day dinner. […]
