I love red beans and rice. Strangely enough, what got me hooked on this wasn’t some fancy restaurant in Louisiana. It was Bojangles Chicken and Biscuits, a fast food restaurant. I don’t eat fast food anymore but if I did it would be at Bojangles. Their spicy fried chicken and their biscuits are awesome but…

Flank steak, roasted duck fat fingerling potatoes, wilted ramps with pancetta, red wine and balsamic vinegar pan sauce
This was all about the ramps. Yum! If you’ve never had them, they are sort of a cross between green garlic and green onions. The mouth feel is creamy and the flavor is very bold. Ramps are very hard to find and are only available for a short part of the spring. I found mine…
Quick Shrimp and Andouille Gumbo with Brown Rice
We love gumbo, who doesn’t? This one is easy enough to make on a week night. I’ve made so many versions of this, some take hours, but I’ll be honest this one is my favorite. Super-fast, rich, spicy and very satisfying, I recommend this one folks. I use San Marzano tomatoes, the smoked paprika and…
Pan Seared Salmon with Farro Orzo and Roasted Vegetable Salad
Crispy seared salmon with a light, tangy farro orzo salad is perfect for any season. Our CSA is bountiful this year. We are getting lots and lots of squash, zucchini and kale. Good thing we like them, a lot. Sometimes you have to be creative in how you prepare them lest the large quantities of…
Pappardelle with Vegetable “Bolognese”
You don’t miss the meat, seriously. I originally found this in a Bon Appetit magazine (Pappardelle with Vegetable “Bolognese”). I made a few modifications that make this one a keeper. We love pasta and eat it at least once a week. Usually we use a sauce plus a protein. I love mixing some pancetta into…
SC Mahi Mahi and Shrimp, Grilled Carrots and Kale, Potato Puree with Basil Pesto
Beach trip meal cooked (almost) exclusively on the grill. We picked up the local Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish) and shrimp that day at Mt. Pleasant seafood located right on the water at Shem’s Creek. The carrots, kale, green onions and basil were all from our CSA. The potatoes were left over smashed potatoes from a…
Flank Steak, Roasted Sage and Duck Fat Potatoes, Sautéed Kale and Blueberry Balsamic Jus
Flank steak is one of my favorite steaks. Reasonably priced and if prepared correctly, delicious. Also, duck fat. Our sage plant in our herb garden decided this year to go nuclear. It is out of control. The base looks like a tree trunk. Anyway, I really needed to use some sage and potatoes are always…

Succotash Chowder with Country Ham and Cheddar Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Another leftover delight. If you haven’t been following, here is the back story. I made this and with the leftover I made this but the succotash was just sitting there. I was inspired by a chilly day to make soup and use the rest of the Goodnight Brothers country ham. The chowder turned out to…
Catfish Po-boy, with Sriracha “Mayo” and Avocado and Cilantro spread, Blue Cheese Coleslaw with Baked French Fries
Amazing leftovers revisited. On a Sunday I made Cornmeal Crusted Catfish, Country Ham Succotash with Avocado and Cilantro Purée. On Tuesday I reused the catfish and the avocado purée to make a Catfish Po-boy, with Sriracha “Mayo” and Avocado and Cilantro spread, Bleu Cheese Coleslaw with Baked French Fries. This was so good and so…
