Cilantro Lime Shrimp

June 7, 2011

I don’t know what happened to me last Sunday. I suddenly got this huge burst of energy and all I wanted to do was cook! I got started right after noon and by the end of the day I had cooked and photographed five recipes. That means I have lots of good food to share [...]

Baked Catfish

January 21, 2011

I’m just going to say this: I love fried food. There. I’ve said it and I meant it, too. There’s just not much better in this world to me than a perfectly cooked piece of fried chicken. Or country fried steak. Or fish. I could go on and on. I realize that part of my love [...]

Shrimp and Grits

January 4, 2011

I’m starting out the new year with a great old Southern classic, Shrimp and Grits, an example of low-country cooking at its absolute best. Using readily available local ingredients to produce something so mouth-watering, so delicious that it almost takes your breath away. Shrimp and Grits is thought to have originated as a breakfast recipe along the Carolina coast. [...]

Fried Catfish with Cheese Grits

September 28, 2010

You might not think that growing up as I did in a tiny southern town would afford one many social gathering opportunties. Oh, how wrong you’d be! We used every possible opportunity to get together with family, friends and neighbors. We had teas and showers, club meetings of all kinds, even church services became a [...]

Summer Shrimp Cocktail

June 30, 2010

What do you think of when you hear the words “shrimp cocktail?” You don’t even need to think about it, do you? I don’t. Those words instantly transport me back in time to the 1970′s and almost every steak house’s appetizer menu. The shrimp cocktail was a classic, wasn’t it? It came to the table in a stemmed glass [...]

Seafood Stew

February 22, 2010

Are you like me…a push-over for a food magazine? I never met one I didn’t like and rarely pass one on the shelf that I don’t pick up and glance through. More often than not, they come right on home with me. I can sit and read them for hours. So, when I picked up [...]

Simple Grilled Fish

October 8, 2009

Last Christmas BeeBop gave me a George Foreman grill. I had wanted one for quite a while and was very happy to get it. And for about a month I used that thing nearly every day. Then it got into the back of the cabinet and I kind of forgot about it. You know the [...]

Creamy Shrimp and Pasta

August 18, 2009

I got a new cookbook! (and BeeBop’s looking at me like, “yeah, so what else is new?”) I do love cookbooks. I have an extensive collection. No, it’s not an addiction. It’s…it’s…it’s just a collection. Really it is. This new one is Cooking Light’s Superfast Suppers and it has some really great sounding, quick to [...]
