One of Hubby’s favorite things from the sea has to be Scallops. They are almost like round, sweetly mild white fish, just not flaky like a perfectly cooked piece of fish would be. Scallops lend themselves beautifully to an array of flavor enhancements.

Anything Stuffed with Crab is a Delicious National Day
I adore crab. There are countless fond memories involving crab. One of my favorites has to be to get some crab at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, pick up some fresh baked Sourdough Bread and a jug of wine. Then sit on the beach enjoying an amazingly simple picnic and watch the sun go down. That was a long, long time ago.

Krafty Tuna Mac and Cheese
I can remember taking Home Economics in school. While many today feel that the class was aimed at turning girls into good housewives (and it was); there were skills taught that everyone should have – girls and boys alike. Mending clothes, preparing a meal, balancing a check book and working with a budget. Life lessons.
Lasagna Alfredo Florentine
It’s Friday. Ever notice how every weekend begins on a Friday Night? That makes Fridays just a little special, don’t you think? Even a Meatless Friday can be something wonderful.
Fly Away with a Simple Lobster Thermidor
Have you every had one of those really wish I had gone another way moments? Lobster Thermidor is one of those moments for me. Let me explain . . .
Celebrate Friday with a Five-Cheese Ziti Bake
Do you realize it’s been over a year since I last shared a recipe utilizing Ziti Pasta? I say that’s too long between recipe.

Friday’s Spicy Calamari Linguine
When Kiddo was just a wee little kiddo, he moved through the world like a little adult. He traveled with us everywhere, and developed a taste for the finer establishments. Unfortunately, by the time he was a teenager, his tastes changed. It was pizza and burgers and greasy-spoon dives. Typical teenage things.
Festive Puff Pastry Stuffed Flounder
My original plan for this Pastry Flounder was to suggest it as a possible Christmas Eve dinner, perhaps as one of the multitude of dishes served for the Feast of Seven Fishes. But then I saw that today is the beginning of Hanukkah. I am not Jewish, so I don’t know how Kosher this recipe is, but it sure is festive.
Ribbon Pasta with Shrimp and Lemon Garlic
Did you know that today is National String Popcorn Day? Yep, it is. I’ve always wanted to string popcorn and make cranberry garland for my tree. When my children were little, the best Christmas we ever had was filled with paper decorations and a cardboard box painted to look like a fireplace. How else was Santa going to get into our tiny apartment?

National Mississippi Day and Southern Eats
Today is National Mississippi Day. The 20th state to join the union, Mississippi is home to the Delta Blues. Mississippi is one of the first states children learn how to spell with a simple crooked-letter humpback rhyme. It’s also how many of us count seconds – one Mississippi, two Mississippi.

The Story of Fish and Chips From Across the Pond
When you think of Fish and Chips, what immediately springs to mind? Jolly old England, of course. How much more English can you get? Right? Well, sort of. While Fish and Chips were made popular in England, and from there spread to the rest of the dining world, it’s roots aren’t English at all.

Louisiana Shrimp Étouffée 1
It’s only fitting that a state that gave us National Treasures such as Jazz, Creole Cooking and America’s best Mardi Gras would have its own special day. Part of the Louisiana Purchase of land from France in 1803, Louisiana was the first of 15 states to be carved out of the region. The great state of Louisiana entered the union in 1812.
Cast Iron Grilled Alaska King Crab Legs
When it comes to recipes, do you have a pet peeve? I have two. Okay, maybe more than two, but two that come to mind immediately. The first is a list of ingredients, the order of ingredients. The second is additional information that needs you to be redirected to another site or another page in the book.
Honey Glazed Ginger Salmon
We all know that eating healthy included eating fish at least once a week. Fish need not be deep fried or beer battered to be delicious. Baked or pan seared are healthy and delicious options.
Delicious Mushroom Pea Fettuccine
Recently I made what I considered to be a delicious semi-Italian Friday Night supper for my guys. As Hubby and I cleared the dishes, I commented that I really enjoyed the earthy woodsy-nuttiness that the blend of mushrooms, in particular the Porcini Mushrooms, gave to the dish. Hubby shrugged. I took that as disappointment in my choice for a Catholic Supper.
