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....
I’ve used this Crab Mornay recipe for years. It’s one of those utterly delicious Gulf Coast favorites we’re all delighted to see at holiday parties, and thrilled to have any other time. I'm not sure where the recipe came from originally. I’ve seen it on upscale...
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...
A Gulf Coast must-have for fried or roasted shrimp, crab claws, fried fish, etc. . . Cocktail Sauce ketchup (Heinz preferred)prepared horseradish (not creamed horseradish) (prepared horseradish is finely grated and pickled, and can be found in the refrigerated...
