Triggerfish, Succotash and Fried Polenta Cakes
Light and refreshing, this meal has it all. Triggerfish has become very trendy at least here in the south. It has a meaty consistency that holds together well whether you grill it or sauté it as I did. It has some of the richness you get from Sea Bass but not as oily. And of…
Braised Pork Belly, Roast Beets, Sautéed Mustard Greens with Mustard Jus
My attempt at replicating a meal I had at FIG (Food is Good) in Charleston. I could never match what Chef Latta and the staff at FIG (one of my top two restaurants in Charleston) can do, but this turned out pretty good never the less. The meal I had at the restaurant is chronicled…
Falafel Burgers with Tzatziki and Baked Greek Fries
Not feeling meat? Try these delicious falafel burgers with tzatziki. I love Greek food. Walking down our main street the other weekend, I passed a sign for a new restaurant advertising falafel burgers. Pretty much the next day I made these. They turned out light but still satisfying. I’m no vegetarian, but we could all…
Banh Mi Vietnamese Sandwich
I love Banh Mi sandwiches. Fresh, spicy, tangy, crunchy, all the good stuff. This may not be a traditional Banh Mi but it tastes close to them. I used leftovers from several other meals listed below so this is one of the easiest meals you’ll see me post. I had the pork loin, I had…
Thai Pork Tenderloin and Coconut Jasmine Rice with Edamame
Walking into the grocery, I had no ideas…until I noticed pork tenderloin on sale. After a long weekend we really just wanted something light and refreshing. This coconut jasmine rice is very light and the edamame adds a bit of crunch. This is an easy, light meal. HA, too funny! After writing this entire post,…
Pork Chops au Poivre, Mushroom Ragu, Wilted Baby Spinach and Creamy Polenta
Quick, easy and delicious…unless you don’t dig on swine, there is no reason not to make this meal. I’ve been making this meal in different variations for years. I finally remembered to snap a photo (let’s not get into how bad of a photographer I am). Can’t you just call it pork chops with pepper?…
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…
Herb, Garlic, Lemon Roasted Chicken with Tuscan Farro Salad
Another example of “on hand” ingredients thrown together to a great result. The chicken is good. I’ve made it a ton. The salad, well I thought I had totally made it up until I started Googling it on the interwebs. It turned out to be a pretty common Tuscan thing, so there you have it….
Squid Ink Pasta and Fettuccini Frutti di Mare
We love seafood and we love pasta. If you’re like us, then you’ll love this dish. Inspiration #1. My wife has a thing for bread and pasta. She craves carbs. One of our favorite local Italian restaurants, Giovanni’s (in Greenville, SC) serves this outstanding Frutti di Mare (fruit from the sea or seafood). I wanted…
