Pork with Mushrooms, Herbs and ApplesWhen I made this there was a hurricane brewing out there in the Atlantic.  And it hit North Carolina.  It hit hard near the coast.  Sadly, there are far too many people who suffered terrible loss at the hands of Mother Nature and will continue to deal with the devastation left in the wake of Flo.  We were very fortunate that Flo changed her mind and lost some steam by the time she arrived inland.  But, life goes on and you have to keep up your strength to brave the elements and repair the damage done.  Continue reading →

Shrimp-Avocado Cocktail

bacon, fresh herbs, Haas avocados, horseradish, jalapeño peppers, ketchup, lime juice, onion, Shrimp, Worcestershire sauce

Shrimp-Avocado CocktailThis is a nice alternative to the typical shrimp cocktail.  Also, it has dill.  Dill is an underused herb and it’s a great foil for shrimp.  Ketchup adds a little touch of sweetness and the lemon juice adds a nice little acidic bite…balance.  It’s all about balance, Baby!  Continue reading →

Arugula with Avocado, Nectarines and Goat Cheese with Blackberry Vinaigrette with Orange and MintThis is what I refer to as “a back pocket” recipe.  It’s good to have this to fall back on and use frequently.  This vinaigrette is wonderful drizzled over a salad that includes goat cheese and yellow/orange fruit.  The color contrast between the goat cheese, the fruit and the vinaigrette is striking.  And truly delicious.  Continue reading →

Seafood Salad with Peaches, Tomatoes and Fresh HerbsWe had a wonderful weekend with The Middle Progeny, The Unbound Reader, who were kind enough to interrupt their busy lives and bring our brilliant granddaughter to the Carolinas.  After they left, the house seemed quiet…too quiet, so I rummaged around in the fridge and ran across some of the leftover Peach-o de Gallo.   Continue reading →

Peach-o de Gallo This is so summery and delicious.  It’s perfect with grilled chicken or fish, spooned over ice cream (I’m not kidding!), alongside some scrambled eggs…well, you get the point.  Continue reading →

Mango-Cabbage Slaw with Sweet Chile VinaigretteThis is a nice, fruity and lighter version of cole slaw.  In summer, I like to add mango, pineapple, peaches, or nectarines to cole slaw.  I dress this version with a sweet chile vinaigrette, which compliments the fruit just ever-so nicely.  It’s summery.  Continue reading →

Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Pecans, Apricots and ParmesanThis is particularly delicious with fish, seafood or pork.  The thing I like about this, is that even though it’s nice Thanksgiving side dish, it’s wonderful when fresh apricots are in season.  It’s quick, easy and totally delicious.  Continue reading →

Guava-Onion-Rum SauceThis is one of those sauces that is as good with pork, as it is with chicken and it’s equally delicious with salmon or shrimp.  Okay…so it’s good on pretty much anything.  I haven’t tried it on a burger, but I think on a pork burger it could be stupendous. Continue reading →
