This is by far my favorite blueberry muffin recipe. It’s so easy, and I love the flavor and the texture. I’m not a fan of muffins that are overly sweet, or cakey, or dry, and these are none of those things. And you’re going to laugh when I tell you the secret...
Yum--Chicken Souvlaki. I make it frequently in the summer. If you’re not familiar with it, souvlaki is Greek street food. I first tasted it in college at an international food fair. When I had my own kitchen, I checked a Greek cookbook out of the library and...
We've loved Ramen Noodle Salads here at Casa LCK for ages. If you’ve been to a barbecue/potluck/dinner-on-the-grounds affair in the last 25 years, chances are pretty good that you’ve had--or at least seen--ramen noodle salad before. If not, the very idea may be,...
A few years back, I had a sweet friend call to say she needed a favor. Dot was in her 80s, smart as a whip, funny as could be, and I loved chatting with her. Dot was from Hattiesburg. She had moved here in the late 1990s I think, and we knew a lot of the same...

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?...
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...
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...
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...
