There aren’t many healthy options for lunch near where I work. There is a Publix grocery and fast food. The only fast food I eat is Chick-fil-a and fortunately, we got one nearby a few years back. As fast food goes, it’s not terrible for you and they have decent salad options. One day I…
Pork, Turnip and Sweet Potato Stew
I was going through the dinner food line at my Grandparents house. All the cousins, aunts and uncles were there, so a pretty long line. Each stop in the line fills your plate more and more and it all looks great. I got to the mashed potatoes and gravy and took a pretty good size…
Copycat P. F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps
We don’t eat at P.F. Chang’s much any more. Not because it isn’t awesome, but because where it is located. Crazy traffic, crazy people in crazy traffic. We avoid that area. The two things I miss the most are the Kung Pao Scallops and the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Even the Veggie Lettuce Wraps are awesome….
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with Bleu Cheese Coleslaw
This one is so easy, it almost doesn’t qualify for it’s own post. As easy as it was, it turned out fantastic. I don’t use a slow cooker often, but this makes me wonder why. I made the recipe even easier by using store bought slaw mix. It’s fine in a pinch. We served it…
Panera’s Thai Chopped Chicken Salad Recipe
Originally posted on one foodie:
The Thai Chicken Salad from Panera Bread Company is one of my favorite salads. It is fantastic. It has everything I look for in a great meal. Crunchy, a little heat, a little sweet, sour, tangy and lots of savory. The dressing, the peanut drizzle… nom, nom. I would say,…
Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin, Seared Okra and Pimento Cheese Grits
Super easy and impressive meal you can make on a week day, no problem. This was actually inspired by several meals I’ve eaten at restaurants. The bacon wrapped pork came from Soby’s and I’ve blogged before (Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin). The pimento cheese grits I had at Distilled at Gratz Park Inn. The seared okra…

Check it out: Cuban Chicken Chop, Yellow Rice, Black Beans with Mustard Curry and Cilantro / Jalapeno Sauces Here in Greenville, SC, where I live, we are blessed with amazing restaurants. Not just highfalutin, fancy ones, but an amazing array of all kinds. It…
Pan Roasted Snapper, Goat Cheese Soufflé, Spicy Tomato Jam, Garlic Braised Baby Spinach, Citrus Sake Butter
Recently I posted about a meal I had while on vacation at Boshamps in Destin, FL. I liked it so much I decided I’d try and make it at home. I made a few modifications to better suit my palette. You can see my original post for the Pan Roasted Gulf Grouper with Feta Soufflé,…
Healthy Baked Fish and Chips, Vinegar Braised Greens and Tartar Sauce
My wife told me she was craving “fish and chips”. What she meant was like fish sticks and fries but of course when I think fish and chips, I think the English fried fish and chips. As I’ve stated numerous times on this blog, I don’t have a fryer. It is my excuse to be…
Pan Roasted Gulf Grouper with feta soufflé, braised spinach, tomato jam and citrus butter at Boshamps
UPDATE: I made my own version of this. Check it out: Pan Roasted Snapper, Goat Cheese Soufflé, Spicy Tomato Jam, Garlic Braised Baby Spinach, Citrus Sake Butter When traveling, being the foodie that I am, I thoroughly research the local restaurants. I look at reviews, check menus and ask locals for suggestion. On a recent…
