Pork Dumpling Soup

On January 30, 2012 · 1 Comment

As a food lover, I’m always reading about food.  Wednesdays are pure gold when the newspapers typically do their food sections but on a day-to-day basis it’s all about blogs.  Truth be told, I rarely make things that I see on other blogs.  Usually I just get inspired by what I see and either [...]

Cajun Jambalaya

On January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Every once in awhile I get these random cravings for things that I rarely eat.  Take this jambalaya for instance.  I’ve had jambalaya less than a handful of times and really don’t have any particularly memorable jambalaya experiences that I can refer. Honestly, I can’t tell you where exactly I had it or who [...]

Asparagus and Shrimp Risotto

On April 29, 2011 · 3 Comments

One of the cookbooks in my collection that continues to delight me is Marcella Says…” by Marcella Hazan. Sure, the recipes tend to be kind of labour intensive (do I REALLY need to peel my bell peppers?) but they really work. I really need to invest in Hazan’s classic cookbook, [...]

Shrimp Scampi with Quick Preserved Lemon and Fennel on Polenta

On October 21, 2010 · 3 Comments

I’m currently taking a not so great cooking class.  The only upside to the class is that when we have our hands-on days our teacher doesn’t make us prepare both recipes in class, we can take our ingredients home and prepare the dish in the comfort of our own homes.  Instead [...]

Okay, for this week’s Barefoot Bloggers I’m cheating a bit.  When  I saw that this week’s pick was for Ina’s Baked Shrimp Scampi I was a bit disappointed. I make this ALL THE TIME. Seriously at least once or twice a month.  The recipe is great the way it [...]

What’s that line from that old movie? “I coulda been a contenda” or something like that… that’s how I felt about this dish.  It had all the making for deliciousness but I had to go and screw it up.

I love shrimp. I love cheesy spinach. I love meals that come together [...]

Jamaican Curry Shrimp

I just realized that we are well into the new year and I haven’t posted a single recipe.  I’ve been cooking but making a lot of old favourites and I’m trying to be more economical and structuring my meals and time differently.  I typically cook every night and eat the leftovers for [...]

Folly Island Shrimp and Grits

On October 17, 2009 · 1 Comment

I love me some shrimp and grits.  If you type in “grits” into the search field on this plug about 4 different recipes for shrimp and grits.  There’s just something about shrimp on top of creamy grits.  While I love the recipes that I normally use I’m constantly on the lookout for new recipes [...]

It sounded simple enough [...]

Garlicky Black-Pepper Shrimp and Black-Eyed Peas

On July 18, 2009 · 1 Comment

Doesn’t the title of this recipe sound delicious?  That’s what got me.  It’s so descriptive.  I was searching through my beloved Epicurious a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this recipe and knew I had to make it.  For some reason I had it in my head that Black-Eyed Peas were hard to [...]
