Do you like Shrimp and Grits? We sure do! This recipe from February 2008 Southern Living is one of my favorites to use for this dish. I bought shrimp the last time we were at the beach and froze it. I wish there were more in my freezer. Cheese grits topped with this shrimp concoction…
Two soup recipes in a week – how about that? We love soup in this house and neither of us would mind eating it every night all winter. I really love clam chowder but I don’t love the fat and calorie content in a normal recipe. I came up with a healthy version that still…
We had two pork tenderloins left over from our party on Saturday night. I used some of the pork to create Cuban Sandwiches with a modified recipe from Cook’s Country Magazine. All I can say about this recipe is, “Yum!” We’ve had these sandwiches for dinner two nights this week and neither of us is…
Do you like Brussels Sprouts? I used to think that they weren’t good, but now I think that they are a real treat. I tested this recipe from the November 2010 issue of Southern Living for Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta and declare it a keeper. I’ll definitely make this dish again!
Are you looking for a grilling recipe for Father’s Day? This recipe is a family favorite. My mom discovered it in Southern Living back in the 1980’s and she’s been making it ever since. I can’t tell you how many times our family has enjoyed this over the years. My dad used to do a lot of the…
Do you need an appetizer for an upcoming occasion that is sure to be the hit of the party? If so, I’ve got a recipe for you. Beth is one of our tennis friends from the beach. We’ve played tennis at two different clubs at the beach for about four years now. We are not…
The theme for our October supper club was Oktoberfest. I knew that I would make red cabbage as a side, but I also wanted to bring an appetizer to share. Southern Living’s Beer-Cheese Spread was a hit. I’m sharing this now because I think it would be a perfect Super Bowl party food! I halved…
Yesterday I shared how I repurposed a Brie container into a travel jewelry case. The Brie recipe that I used at Christmas was shared by Biscuits are Never Boring in December. You can click here to read her post. This was a big hit with my family and I’d definitely make it again. Raspberry Almond…

While browsing in a kitchen store in Vermont, I came across this unique clip-to-your pot spoon rest. I’m constantly having to get a small plate out for my stirring spoon, so I thought I’d give it a try and possibly have one less dish to wash. I’ve used it every time I’ve cooked since we…
Would you ever think to combine pumpkin with pasta? I sure wouldn’t, but once I tried it, I was hooked! My Pumpkin Pasta is delicious and a dish that I look forward to making each fall and into winter. Making the Pumpkin Pasta Here is the sauce simmering before I added the cheese and…
I treated myself to a new toy this weekend – a food processor. I inherited Granny’s 1980ish Sunbeam when she moved into a retirement home. It served me well for five years and then a small plastic piece broke, making the entire machine unusable. Secretly I was glad. Her food processor was a pain. The…
