Honey Lime Shrimp Kabobs
Filed under: easy dinners, fancy made easy, healthy stuff, you have got to try this!
You know when you have a big project and you tell yourself you will not do anything else until it is finished? That is what I feel like these days. A 264 page publication is set to come out in August, and I need to get it done. But I do have to cook. And last night I had a creative moment in the form of this marinade. We bought some great shrimp at Publix, and the evening had cooled off enough to use the grill. Unfortunately, our propane tank lost its juice. But that's okay because these kabobs can...
Mama’s Summer Peach Pie
Filed under: Truly Southern Recipes, desserts, fancy made easy, you have got to try this!
Sometimes I could just hit myself. I made a peach pie yesterday, ate a slice before it set in the refrigerator, and only THEN realized that my blogger friends might like this! I am smack dab in the middle of finishing the yearbook, and I think I am delirious. If you've ever worked on a yearbook, you understand the nightmares involved in publishing 268 pages of (mostly) student work. I say "mostly" because I simply have to do some of it because folks disappear in the summer. But it's cool. I don't mind it...too much. Which is why this pie is...
Stuck At A Standstill

So it's ridiculous how long it's been since I posted! I pretty much had to stop all activities except for grading. Well, that and hanging out with our German friends. They come every year for a school exchange, and I must say that they are pretty fantastic people. In the past month, we have done lots of eating from Pei Wei, Margo's kitchen, Glen's grill, and Marcus's fabulous Thai dish. It has also been prom season around here, and I have chaperoned, fixed hair, done make-up, and taken tons of pictures. Our Germans' month here has turned into almost 6 weeks...
The Best Marinade Ever
Filed under: easy dinners, fancy made easy, vegetarian dinner, you have got to try this!
Recently the H and I joined a coworker of mine for dinner and football. It was the Saints game that sent them to the Superbowl, and I was incredibly happy! I feel like I've waited for this moment my entire life. My coworker and his wife are pretty fantastic, and they served some pretty fantastic food to go along with it. Grilled salmon in an Asian-inspired marinade, steamed broccoli in a light sesame dressing/glaze, and wild rice. It was so good that I was thinking about it all day Monday, a good week later. MMMMM...
New Year’s Eve Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette
This salad makes me incredibly happy. There are really only 4 ingredients for the salad part. The sherry shallot vinaigrette isn't very hard either. Sheri, my mother-in-law, loves this salad and first introduced it to me a few months ago. She got the idea at a restaurant in Mississippi. She didn't get to actually try it, but she made a mental note of the delicious factor for later. And Voila! It has flavors that I would never think of pairing, and I think that's why she originally tried it out (and that...
