Stella’s Southern Bistro and Goodnight Brothers country ham inspired this meal. Stella’s is a restaurant located on the other side of town from me.

Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork, SC Mustard BBQ Sauce and Blue Cheese Coleslaw with Baked French Fries
In the south it is sacrilege to not smoke barbecue. Well I don’t have a smoker and I do have a slow-cooker. In South Carolina, where I live, and really anywhere in the Carolinas there is a BBQ joint on every other block. That is a great thing. Some restaurants do it better than others,…
Labrot & Graham’s Woodford Reserve Distillery Tour Photos

Publix Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Holiday Sub on Multigrain.

They are ALL always clean. The employees are always nice. Their products are of the highest quality and their prices…
Kale, Green Garlic and Mushroom Pizza
This pizza is outstanding. We are getting a lot of kale and green garlic from our CSA and I was thinking of ways to use it all. This one worked brilliantly. The kale gets crunchy on the top but tender below. The subtle flavor and aroma of the green garlic permeated the pizza. The mushrooms…
Local SC Shrimp and Scallops with Udon Noodles
So easy and so fresh, this is a winner in my book. When you can get local, fresh seafood I feel I must. These South Carolina shrimp and scallops were outstanding and could have been served with just about anything. The udon cook in no time at all and you can add whatever vegetables you…
