My Mom makes a chowder just like this one. Very hearty and fulfilling especially as the temperatures start dropping. I recently made a Creamy Seafood Chowder and it reminded me somewhat of my Mom’s chowder so I thought I would give that a try. Adding the white wine and shallots instead of onion gave this…

Creamy Seafood Chowder
Walking through our standard local grocery store, I noted once they had a frozen bag of assorted seafood. I’m not usually good with frozen seafood. Living where we do, we have access to some pretty fresh critters from the sea. The bag did intrigue me. This is going to sound funny but we had most…
Bacon Wrapped Pork-loin and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Grits with Wilted Ramps
One of my favorite meals I made all year. Bacon Wrapped Pork-loin and Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Grits with Wilted Ramps was just perfect.
Seared Scallops, Succotash and Tomato and Herb Salad
Scallops are my favorite. They are basically the steak of the sea. They cook in like two seconds. Prepared properly, they are crispy on top and bottom and literally melt in your mouth. Any excuse to eat them when out or making them at home is taken. These were fresh diver scallops, never frozen. Soooo,…
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…
Soby’s Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Mashed Potatoes, Broccolini and Habanero Butter Sauce
Soby’s was one of the first upscale restaurants to open up on Main Street here in Greenville, SC. We’ve had a number of important dinners there, including our wedding dinner. As long as I have been going there, one of my favorite meals has been the bacon wrapped pork loin with broccolini, mashed potatoes and…
Black Eyed Peas and Collard Soup with Smoked Turkey and Smoked Gouda Grilled Cheese with Cranberry-Orange Relish
New Years leftovers done right. I knew right away when I started planning out my New Years day meal (SOUS VIDE “SMOKED” TURKEY, BLACK-EYED PEAS, COLLARD GREENS AND CORNBREAD WITH TURKEY SKIN CHIPS) it would turn into a great soup. The leftovers were “Smoked” turkey, black-eyed peas and spicy collard greens. I also had turkey…
Sous Vide “Smoked” Turkey, Black-Eyed Peas, Collard Greens and Cornbread with Turkey Skin Chips
Field peas for luck and greens for money. That is how it goes in the South. A traditional New Years meal, the first meal, should have field peas (usually black-eyed peas) and greens (usually collards). The peas bring luck and the greens bring wealth and together bring a prosperous year. It has been a tradition…
Publix Turkey, Bacon and Cranberry Holiday Sub on Multigrain.
If you don’t have a Publix near you, it might be time to consider relocating. For those not familiar, it is a grocery store or supermarket primarily in the Southern states of the east coast. They are ALL always clean. The employees are always nice. Their products are of the highest quality and their prices…
Sweet Corn Soup and Grilled Cheese with Bourbon-Bacon Jam
Yes, that’s right Bourbon-Bacon Jam. Make this now if you like bourbon and bacon. I got the basis of this meal from Bourbon Country magazine (Go figure, right?). I was obviously intrigued by the bourbon-bacon jam, but really the whole meal sounded great. I tweaked it a good bit, like I served the soup warm…
