I pieced together several different recipe ideas to come up with this one, it was good. Ironically, I was going to use some Red Snapper but the filet wasn’t really that big and I had the Wreckfish (from our very favorite sustainable fishers, Abundant Seafood) in the freezer, so it all worked out. I had…

Local Peach, Blueberry, Feta and Bacon Salad with Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette
Our favorite local café and grocery posted a delicious looking salad and I decided to make it at home. I added blueberries because they are also in season here. This was so good. The fresh sweet peaches and blueberries, the acid punch from the fresh tomatoes, the crunchy salty bacon, the tart creaminess from the…
Fried Chicken Grana Padano, San Marzano Sugo with Rotini Pasta
Like a few of my other recent Italian recipe posts (Bucatini all’Amatriciana and Spaghetti al Pomodoro), this one is super easy and super good. Unlike the other recipes, this wasn’t inspired by the time I spent in Italy. This one was inspired by a menu item at a local favorite restaurant. Restaurant 17 had a…
Sean Brock’s Famous Husk Burger with Crispy Baked Wedge Fries
I never expected to be disappointed with this meal but I tried to manage my expectations. With that said, I was totally blown away with this burger. Most likely the best burger I have ever eaten. If interested, I made a meatless version of this same burger. A Meatless Version of the Famous Husk Burger…
Turkey Pasta e Fagioli
I recently posted a review of a local restaurant that features Northern Italian cuisine called L’Incanto. That post got me thinking about the food I enjoyed while we lived there and how it was probably my first “food awakening”. By that I mean, the first time I though about food as something to enjoy. One…
Hainanese Inspired Chicken and Rice with Peanut Sauce
This Hainanese inspired Chicken and Rice with Peanut Sauce was featured in Bon Appetit’s “Healthyish” recipes.
Seafood a la Wando (Reboot)
Way back in 2012 I posted about one of my favorite dishes in Charleston, SC, Seafood a la Wando at Hank’s Seafood. It is indeed still one of my favorites. The crispy grit cakes, the fresh seafood, the rich buttery cream sauce. Oh and mushroom, bell pepper and green onion add earthiness, color and crunch….
Everything Pork Loin, Wilted Mustard Greens, Pimento Cheese Grits with Mustard Jus
In all honestly, the mustard jus pictured was left over from this recipe: Braised Pork Belly, Roast Beets, Sautéed Mustard Greens with Mustard Jus. I tried to mimic the process for the purposes of this recipe but can’t promise the sauce will be great. It should be, but I’ve haven’t tried it yet. When I…
Chicken and Black Bean Enchiladas
These enchiladas are super easy to make and very satisfying. This is made much faster by using a rotisserie chicken and canned enchilada sauce.
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….
