Summertime is almost here which means, shorts, t-shirts, skirts, and dresses are soon to follow. That also means sunny warm days are also not far behind. During this time of the year, most people tend to overlook their eating habits. Several of you will still want to chow down some slowed braised hardy meals which […]
To be perfectly honest, I am not a huge fan of catfish. There are people out there who love eating catfish and they will tell you various family gatherings involving a catfish fry somewhere down south that took place in the summer while the beer and whiskey flowed like the Mississippi river. I ain’t one of […]
Clam bakes are an excellent way of enjoying a meal with family and friends in a park, picnic, or the beach during sunny summer days. When you want to enjoy a simple seafood dish outdoors that doesn’t require complex cooking techniques, consider putting together this meal. Clam bakes have always been about gathering various bits of seafood, a […]
I don’t care what people tell me. Coleslaw can and should be eaten year around. KFC serves coleslaw year around and it doesn’t seem to hinder their food sales. In fact I am personally one of those people who will eat KFC chicken just so that I can order some of their tasty slaw. The […]
Riding on the heals of summer is this prosciutto and grilled peach pizza guaranteed to send your taste buds into a frenzy.

The versatility of shrimp goes well beyond most peoples imaginations especially when you can serve it hot or cold. There are very few ingredients that have this kind of power. Shrimp can either be a main meal, a side dish, or an appetizer further enforcing the power of this tasty crustacean. Check out sautéed shrimp […]
Bringing watermelon to a picnic or BBQ seems as common as hamburgers and hot dogs served at either event. Although, sliced watermelon is so passé and cutting your watermelon into cubes is boring. Why not bring a watermelon cake instead? I am not taking about a sponge cake made to look like a watermelon, quite the […]
If you have ever been to Disneyland you know one of the best things to eat there are the Pineapple Dole Whips served in front of the Tiki Room. The line to score one of these tasty soft serve treats is usually insane and it only gets worse during those hot sunny L.A. summers. If […]
