Yummy Seafood Boil
It’s become kind of a tradition to do a fall shrimp boil, and you can easily add in crab, scallops, crawfish (yech!) or any seafood of your liking. My hubster is the master chef on this one….I do all the prep but he cooks, socializes and generally enjoys himself. We have a turkey fryer that Continue reading

Oriental Crunch Salad
I fixed this recently for a bridal lunch and a shrimp boil, and it was an instant hit both times. Super easy because you make pretty much everything ahead of time, and just throw it together when ready to serve!

So I tried to replicate the delicious green stuff that my friend Heather made — I told her we needed a name for it, so she dubbed it “Guacamole Salsa”, maybe because of it’s consistency. I first ate it at her house on smoked pork tacos. Yum. Anyway, I had never Continue reading

I go for the mild version, and one sample of roasted chiles with cream cheese in a tortilla, and I was hooked. Stay tuned the next couple of days as I share some delicious creations. Continue reading

Like shrimp? Oh man, you’ll like this!!!
We love seafood, especially shrimp, crab, lobster 🙂 so when the hub brought me a souvenir t-shirt from Maryland, with Old Bay smattered across the front, I thought “very fitting”. He also bought a can of Old Bay seasoning. I’ve seen recipes where Old Bay @OLDBAYseasoning was used, but I’ve never bought any. AND, we Continue reading
