Cold Asian Noodles & Shrimp
On August 4, 2013 by ElizIt’s hot. It’s August. Time for something cold and refreshing for dinner. This is what I made up in my kitchen this past weekend. The thing I like about this approach is that you can use any kind of noodle or Asian noodle, and shrimp is the only other non-negotiable ingredient. While I used what

Shrimp & Grits
On April 20, 2013 by ElizA time-honored recipe of the deep South, and in particular the low country of South Carolina, there as many variations of this dish as there are cooks that make it.

Apricot Brandy Glazed Cornish Game Hens with Wild Rice Casserole
On February 2, 2013 by ElizA Rock Cornish Game Hen is not from Cornwall, and neither did it originate there. It is not a game bird, but domestically raised.

I wasn’t happy with the outcome of this dish, even though I modified it from its original source, which unfortunately I didn’t

Korean Style Short Rib Tacos with Cucumber Slaw
On October 21, 2012 by ElizThis recipe is just unbelievably good. Although it is a relatively easy recipe to follow, it takes two days to make. Day One is a crock pot affair with the ribs as they cook down all day. Day Two is the all-important step of removing most of the fat from the dish, and then simmering

Sweet and Sour Pork
On September 17, 2012 by ElizWhat to do with a leftover pork loin roast? I was faced with that question and decided to try my hand at a recipe for sweet and sour pork. After considerable research on the Internet, I devised may own recipe that came from many differing approaches, and bearing in mind that I prefer a wheat-free,
