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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 – [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Baked Shrimp with Feta and Herbed Orzo

May 3, 2009

I get a daily email from Cooking Light with a “dinner tonight” recipe. Most of them are great and this one is no exception. It has great Mediterranean flavors and the suggested Herbed Orzo is a classic accompaniment. It’s light but filling and would be appropriate even for a company dinner. Serve a fresh garden [...]
