Stuffed Zucchini

Do you need a nutritious dinner that everyone in your orbit will enjoy?  I think we all do!  Italian-American-style Stuffed Zucchini is easy and almost magical in its ability to appeal to all ages and tastes.  Kids love it!  You can call them “boats” or whatever else...

Apricot Pork Chops

Apricot Pork Chops

These delightfully tangy Apricot Pork Chops are simple enough and quick enough to become your new weeknight favorite.  The sauce ingredients are all pantry staples, with the possible exception of apricot preserves.  If you don’t have apricot preserves, pick up a jar...

Lemon and Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon with Vegetables

Lemon and Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Salmon with Vegetables

Good news!  I’ve given up long-winded blog posts for Lent.     Hahahahaha!      I’m kidding, of course.  Lent or not, we all need a goodly number of easy and delicious seafood recipes, and I have a few words to say about that.  Let’s dive right in, shall we?...

Seafood Stuffed Shells

Seafood Stuffed Shells

I know that traditionally seafood and cheese combos have been considered a no-no.  But, the never-pair-seafood-with-cheese rule has largely gone by the wayside, and thank goodness for that.  Seafood and cheese recipes can be delicious, provided you’re using a mild...

Creole Red Beans and Rice

Creole Red Beans and Rice

We will soon find ourselves in the height of Mardi Gras season here in coastal Alabama.  At my house that means most parades are two blocks away.  It also means lots of hungry, thirsty, parade- and ball-going friends in the house, both before and after a parade.  At...

Pasta al Limone

Pasta al Limone

For those days when you just can’t even think anymore, the answer to dinner is Pasta al Limone.   Pasta al Limone translates to Lemon-Scented Pasta.  It hails from the Naples/Amalfi Coast area of Italy, where they grow the finest lemons in the world.  It’s...

Herb Roasted Pork

Herb Roasted Pork

When I was a teenager, my mom made a delicious pork roast that I loved.  I only recall her making a few times, and I also remember coming home from school to the tantalizing aroma of that pork roast cooking.  I’ve pestered my mother about it for years, but she swears...

L.A. Caviar

L.A. Caviar

L.A. (Lower Alabama) Caviar is a regional treat I’ve probably made a thousand times.  It’s simple to toss together.  It’s inexpensive to make.  You probably have everything you need to make it in your kitchen right now.  And all those are good things because L.A....

Baked Citrus Chicken

Baked Citrus Chicken

I’m always on the lookout for new chicken recipes.  Of course I require that they taste great, but I assign big bonus points for easy preparation.  And y’all already know I’m a citrus freak. You can imagine how happy I was when I first discovered Baked Citrus...

Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

Pimento Cheese Sausage Balls

When I told my friend Jamie I was going to test out a pimento cheese version of sausage balls, here’s what she said:  “Holy s%$#!  OMG!  Yes, please!” (We’re pretty enthusiastic about sausage balls around here.)   This recipe is exactly what it sounds like.  I...

Stuffed Acorn Squash

Stuffed Acorn Squash

Need a holiday side that seems fancy, yet is easy to make, and travels well?  And pairs beautifully with turkey OR ham? I know you’re planning now, and I’ve got you covered.  This is a job for Stuffed Acorn Squash.   I’ve served these delicious Stuffed Acorn...

Weeknight Chicken Carnitas

Weeknight Chicken Carnitas

If you’ve ever had Mexican carnitas you already know they’re delicious. The name “carnitas” means “little meats”.  Traditionally, carnitas are made by slowly braising a pork shoulder in a highly seasoned broth, then shredding the meat, and frying it in its own fat...

I posted lovely, springy, Pasta al Limone on the blog a bit back, but I never got around to telling y'all about it.  So here it is now!  It's a good bet when you'd rather play outside on pretty evenings instead of cooking dinner.
