Steamed Snow Crab Legs
In honor of Father’s Day this coming Sunday, this week’s posts will be dedicated to a fabulous (yet easy!) meal that Dad will love. For anyone who feels like ‘getting crabby’, I’ve got a simple preparation for the crab legs that’ll be on sale later on in the week. Aren’t they purty? They smell like the ocean – which of course, is a wonderful thing.

Grilled Shrimp and Sausage Skewers with Smoky Paprika Glaze
I can’t believe I haven’t written about this recipe yet; it’s one of the best dinners I made last summer. I think when I finally got around to blogging about it, summer was nearly over and I decided I would keep the recipe in my back pocket for another summer day. Well, summer is here! Shrimp are on sale! This is a recipe whose time has come.

Grilled Romaine & Shrimp (or Chicken) with Light Caesar Dressing
Well, it’s happened again – I’ve eaten something wonderful at a restaurant and cannot get the meal out of my head. And how twisted is this: I had this particular dish at Bosley on Brady Street, way back in March. So yah, I’ve pretty much had Grilled Romaine Lettuce on the brain for almost three months (go ahead, say it: I need a life). Bosley’s Romaine on the Grill with Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing made me practically swoon from sheer bliss. I knew I had to recreate it.

Chicken Tostadas
In keeping with the Cinco de Mayo theme of this beautiful brand new sale ad, I’m sharing one of my new favorite Tex-Mex dishes here today. I’ve probably made these tostadas five times over the past three months, because they are soooo easy, incredibly delicious, and everyone (YES! everyone!) here loves them. What more could you ask for in a weeknight dinner?

Scallop Risotto
I had a spending splurge yesterday. I bought something that was really, really, mindblowingly expensive. And don’t tell my husband, but I would totally buy it again…but hopefully, I won’t have to for a while. Any guesses?

Pork Chops with Tomatoes, Carmelized Onions, & Feta Cheese
Folks, I’ve been head chef at the House of Damron for dam’near 16 years. In that time I’ve birthed three punks who cannot seem to work enough pork products into their diets: pork tenderloin, baby backs, bacon, and breakfast sausage – there ain’t a kid under this roof who doesn’t like the other white meat. But chops? No thanks. Pork chops are the ugly redheaded stepchild at our dinner table – and I wish it weren’t so, believe me. So versatile, readily available, so cheap…they should be my old standby, for Pete’s sake.

Chicken Chili
I decided to rock the boat around here with this chicken chili last night. This recipe has been dog-eared for years (no exaggeration) and I give it a glance every now and then, but usually end up chickening out (har) and making my old stand by – Cincinnati Style. It’s served over spaghetti with cheese, beans, and onions, and I’ve been told by it’s similar to Real Chili. Never had Real Chili myself, but I hear it’s good stuff. Especially at 2:00 am after an evening of carousing downtown.

Recipe Redux: Chicken Stock From Scratch
My friend Lori texted me this morning to say that she was at Sendik’s, picking up the ingredients for the veggie beef soup I posted last week. What a great call – that soup is delicious. Wish I had some right now, in fact – it’s the perfect snowy day dinner!

Winter Vegetable & Beef Soup
You’re looking at the perfect meal for a blustery winter day! A day so cold, I’ve got half a mind to toss on my full length mink before I venture out later. This is just the sort of day that calls for a mink coat, don’t you agree? All right, I don’t actually have a fur coat of any sort. But if I did, I’d darned sure be hauling it out today. I’ll throw on my puffy down jacket instead. I’ll put a fur coat on my list for Santa next year. And I’m sure he’ll be getting right on that request.
Where was I?

Killer Granola
Here’s a cheerful quote from an unknown author – something for us all to ponder as this little food blog kicks off 2011:
“People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and New Years, but they really should be worried about what they eat between New Years and Christmas.”
