Crockpot Turkey Meatloaf: Better than your mama’s meatloaf!
May 7, 2011 by Leave a Comment
This is not to knock on anyone’s mama’s meatloaf, especially the day before Mother’s Day, but this is seriously the best meatloaf we’ve ever had. Meatloaf recipes are a dime a dozen. Even with my culinary training, I had never found an ingredient combination that I really liked. They all seemed bland and tasteless, and […]
Garlic Lime Shrimp over Pasta
February 25, 2011 by Leave a Comment
Well…you guessed it, another variation of a classic to keep us in line with food sensitivities. We found a recipe a while back for lemon pepper shrimp over pasta. We loved it. After going on the elimination diet to pinpoint food sensitivities, two of the main ingredients in that dish were out. Lemon and Pepper. […]

February 5, 2011 by Leave a Comment
 I do not care for asparagus. But the Lucky Wife and the Well-Fed Son love it. I improvised one night in a effort to do something a little different. I honestly did not know how it would turn out. The family was pleasantly surprised. Sauteed Asparagus with Cashews Ingredients: 2 bunches asparagus 1/4 cup […]

Well the family loves Mexican/Southwest dishes, there is just no denying this fact. This dish literally was made up by opening the cabinets one night and brainstorming. There was too much month at the end of the money, and The Chef needed a supper that did not require running out to the store. This creation […]
Ham, Potato and Leek Chowder

We love potato soup! This variation was created, once again, due to our dietary restrictions. The turkey ham and leeks add an interesting flavor element to the soup. If you are feeling a little adventurous, top your bowl with a shredded cheese of your choosing. (We choose not to add cheese due to a dairy […]
Pecan-Encrusted Tilapia

I went to Culinary School at Johnson and Wales University in the historic part of Charleston, SC… the southern “Mecca of Food”. I learned French classical, international, and even baking and pastry techniques. However, what I loved the most was the Gullah, or Low Country, style of cooking I learned from the locals. And when […]

Chilly weather calls for…..you guessed it…..Chili! (Corny dialogue, I know). This recipe is a true “throw it all together and see what happens” recipe. It is quick, easy, and good. You will notice that no onions are used. Chili without onions is like a steak without a baked potato. Well, the alternative may surprise you. […]

Who doesn’t dream of a week long vacation on some tropical island? I got my toes in the water, toes in the sand, not a worry in the world…. As the Zac Brown song goes. There a few things you think of when it comes to food and a tropical island: tropical fruit and seafood. […]
