Spice Rubbed Pork Chops
These pork chops are a riff on my favorite barbecued chicken recipe, which I’ve already made at least four times since grill season began. I’ve been turning to it so often recently that I now keep a small container of the homemade spice rub on hand at all times, as well as a vat of the sauce in the fridge. Last night we had it on some gorgeous salmon fillets; today I decided to give it a whirl on the boneless pork chops that are on sale.
Worked like a charm, as I expected it would. We’re all out of propane again (dang!), so I had to broil them inside, but they still turned out tender, juicy, and delicious.

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake
We have here a dessert that’s simple and down home and it might just be the easiest no-bake cake I’ve ever made. It could easily win the title of “World’s Least Pretentious Dessert”.

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.

Steak Sandwiches with Herbed Mayonnaise
I’ve made these sandwiches at LEAST five times since I first happened upon the recipe back in March. This is rare for me (rare, get it?) because normally I’m all about trying new and different recipes so that I fresh, family friendly material to share here. But we all need easy dishes that are simple [...]

Minted Watermelon Cooler with Lemon & Lime
Since the beginning of April and May’s Wellness focus, I have had such a THING for watermelon. It’s been so sweet and delicious this spring, I buy a huge wedge nearly every time I pop in to the Store. I’ve been dicing it into chunks and watching it disappear out of the fridge. Honestly, my kids have been acting like it’s a treat, and you really can’t do much better than a simple bowl of watermelon for a low calorie snack.

Chilled Avocado Soup with Fresh Ginger & Lime Crema
When I was in college I had a reputation. Not THAT kind of reputation, silly — I was known for my lipstick habit. Because very, very rarely was I ever spotted around campus without a bright-pink pucker.
(Well, once on spring break in Daytona Beach, I forgot to put it on. But I had mono and I was staying in a roach motel and I was really, really unwell.)
But nevermind that. I LOVED the day-glo pinks and fuschias of the 80’s. A roommate of mine once said, “Ah’ sway-uh, Leah, do yew keep yo-wah lipstick on yo-wah naht-stay-und?”
I went to college in South Carolina. Did you catch the accent?

Roasted Shrimp & Orzo Salad
I co-hosted a dinner with a girlfriend this past weekend and each guest brought a dish to pass. Some brought appetizers, a few made gorgeous salads – others brought breads, rolls, and plates of bars. It was such a fun way to get together with friends, while sharing the burden of menu planning and food prep. If you’re in the mood to have some friends over but are leary of all the work, I highly recommend this method of hostessing! Most guests are more than happy to contribute to the soiree in one way or another.

Blueberries, Revisited.
My one year anniversary of writing this blog has come and gone without pomp and circumstance. Fine and dandy of course, I for one don’t need sunshine blown up my short shorts tennis skirt…or recognition, or accolades. It’s been a fun year of learning the a little about the grocery business and writing about favorite recipes. I’ve certainly enjoyed making, shooting, and eating everything that’s ended up here in the blog!
