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.

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?

There are some meals from my childhood ( the 60s & 70s) that are nostalgic, but sadly, once made again and tasted, fell short of my expectations. My Mom’s Pork Chops and Creamy Rice was one of those. I remember it being a favorite, kind of a pork chop version of the famous No-Peek Chicken.

Here we are at the beginning of February and Mardi Gras is coming up – that’s a great reminder to make a dish with a bit of heat and a bit of spice to ward off the winter blues. A dish like this Cajun Fried Rice with Pulled Pork.

I’m pretty wild about my Quick Corn & Bell Pepper Maque Choux, and I hope you’ll be, too. It’s got to be the perfect end of summer dish; a great transition into the heavier, comfort foods of fall.
