Shrimp Étouffée
Whenever I’m in New Orleans, I always make sure to get my fix of gumbo and etouffee. Gumbo is more of a soup, whereas etouffee is more stew-like - a little more dry. Etouffee is traditionally served with boiled white rice. Ingredients: ½ tsp dried thyme ½ tsp dried oregano ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp cayenne pepper ¼ tsp black pepper ¼ … [Read more...]

Grilled Lemon Chicken
This year for Memorial Day, many of us will be at home (where else?), perhaps firing up the grill for a Memorial Day barbecue. Here is one of my favorite grilling recipes; it’s for grilled chicken that is marinated first in lemon juice, garlic, herbs and shallots.
