Peas and Greens Soup

January 10, 2012

Facebook is such an incredible thing. The brainchild of some wonderfully bright college students, it has grown in just a few years into the major social media site on the internet today. Facebook is great for keeping up with all the comings and goings of your family and friends, but what I like best is [...]

Hoppin’ John {Secret Recipe Club}

August 29, 2011

When I got my assignment for this month’s Secret Recipe Club, I have to admit that my first thought was, “Oh, my gosh. What in the world am I going to do with this? ” That’s because my assigned blog was called We Heart Vegan and as y’all know I’m about as opposite from a [...]

Black Beans and Saffron Rice

May 4, 2011

We’ve had some awesome weather lately. Highs in the low 80’s and nights in the 50’s. That’s just how I like it!

Red Rice

January 4, 2010

Another one of BeeBop’s favorites! Red Rice. Based on the famed Charleston Red Rice. Sort of. Well, kinda. It’s similar anyway. If you’re a fan of Low Country cooking, please indulge me. I know this is not the accurate, authentic Charleston Red Rice. It does have one thing in common, however. It’s good! When BeeBop [...]

Seafood Casserole

September 16, 2009

Who doesn’t love a one-dish meal? Something that you can put together, stick in a pot or the oven and forget until it’s done. Soups, stews, crock-pot meals, casseroles. Most can be made ahead and cooked whenever you’re ready. All are great choices for busy cooks. This casserole combines some of our favorite things – [...]

Shrimp Creole

June 10, 2009

Another old favorite, Shrimp Creole. This recipe for Shrimp Creole has, naturally, been tweaked somewhat by me, but it originally came from Craig Claiborne’s “Southern Cooking.” Craig Claiborne was a food writer for the New York Times, but he was born and raised in Mississippi. He had a lifetime appreciation for southern cuisine which grew throughout his [...]

This is a quick method for [...]
