It’s been years since I last ate at a little bistro/steak house in Georgia, Aqua Terra. I had their shrimp and grits, and it’s haunted me ever since. I have to give them a shout-out, because that meal is the inspiration for this Shrimp and Grits with Bourbon Cream.
Cajun Stuffed Mushrooms
Hey, are you guys like me, just about over chips, dips, and salsas when thinking about making an app to serve or bring? (The price, alone, of a bag of chips is just about enough to make me gasp.) Maybe you’ll want to join me in making these Cajun Stuffed Mushrooms?
TikTok Bourbon Chicken
A shout-out to all my friends and family who have been good sports about me sharing TikToks and Reels. I overdid it after my leg surgery a while back. This TikTok Bourbon Chicken was a gem among them.
Roasted Peach Ice Cream No Churn
Yanno what’s miserable in the South? Summer! But this Roasted Peach Ice Cream (No Churn) makes it better. It’s August now, so depending on where you are, there is still time to make this easy ice cream.
Pork Chops with Cherry Sauce
Pork Chops with Cherry Sauce have to be the perfect summer entree. The chops are tender and juicy (thanks to a brine), and the sauce is the perfect combination of tart cherries and sweet heat. Yeah, there’s a touch of jalapeno. If that’s not your thing, feel free to leave it out.
