First pictured as written in Eating Well. Second image in a pita. Same ingredients can be used. In the pita for this version I did not use chicken. The pita is still full of protein and veggies, so as a quick lunch this is the best! This is so similar to something we’ve been eating for the last few years now. At least one meal/day seems to be filled with hummus/pita/veggies. When I do add chicken to the mix, I usually just use olive oil/S&P. The additional spices in the Eating Well recipe were nice as was the lemon. This recipe is bursting with flavor as well as numerous health benefits. (Recipe link below) – I always make a recipe the first time as written and another time or two before writing my Sticky Note version with the changes I made and ways to simplify the process. They will be strikingly similar, either way, you can’t lose. Absolute heaven in each bite – you will long for this day after day. Trust me.

A New Shrimp Fried Rice Recipe – WOW!
Owie! I love when I find something that can be a game changer when cooking. This “recipe” is beyond delicious, it came together fairly quickly – we made a disaster of the kitchen, but that’s to be expected first time around – I think. You can substitute a different protein if you like, but shrimp works so nicely with this… Here are the details:

I always feel hurried when I’m taking photos of my breakfast/lunch/dinner to share with y’all. Mostly, because Fred is sitting at the dining room table ready to eat. So forgive the thrown together plate – this was fabulous. Fresh food after several days of leftovers, thanks to Tropical Storm Debby. Not complaining, the leftovers were good, but we were really looking forward to something fresh!

Ziti. Especially a quick ziti is pure comfort food. Comfort food when you need it like during the threat of 20-30″ of rain from a tropical storm. I figured if I whipped this together, we would have dinner for the week (it’s supposed to rain for days). Pulled it out of the oven and AHHHHH. Yum! Too good! (There is another recipe link I’m sure you’ll appreciate!) Here’s the recipe:

I applaud those who can come up with an excellent sandwich (other than PB&J, cheese and lettuce, bologna & muenster, etc.) Something a bit different yet adds a touch of WOW. This mighty little sandwich was a delight. It was the tastiest blend of flavors, some expected and some unexpected. Absolute perfection and available nearby!

There is a wonderful restaurant in Johns Island, South Carolina (Charleston outskirts) that needs to be applauded for their extremely good salad (and oh, their salmon is out of this world and I’m not a big salmon eater!) – it’s a small place (good to make a reservation) with excellent food. It’s consistently good, which is so important!

The need for COOL. The hot days of summer are upon us. I’ve been sharing some cooler main dishes, but a little something sweet is always nice (although it’s hard to beat watermelon, cherries, strawberries and cantaloupe right now!) – if you’re looking for something quick and delicious that you may already have the ingredients for (2) keep reading!

Steamy photo taken at 6AM. Summer is steamy as can be here in Charleston, SC – but also areas that aren’t typically steamy. So much heat and humidity spreading across the country. What do you do to beat the heat? One thought, whip up an Orange Julius…

Charleston, South Carolina. It’s hot. I love to have dinner ready early so I don’t need to be in the kitchen when it’s at its warmest. This was a wonderful meal, prepared ahead (except for the corn, which took 6 minutes). You could easily substitute a salad or whatever else you like. Everything here literally took minutes and is the freshest of the fresh!

I love the recipes from the New York Times (NYT) Cooking site! I’ve run across some amazing recipes – and I always read the comments – they’re full of helpful substitutions, ideas, etc. It’s a hot summer day here in Charleston, SC – so I whipped up this gazpacho which was a welcome dinner – I had to forgo anything warm. I served it with homemade sourdough bread and brie. #wow

Flowers are the best aren’t they? They can bring a smile to my face at any time. When I’m out and about I’m always snapping photos of flowers. Their close-up beauty is always awe inspiring. I believe I was in Mount Pleasant, SC when I snapped a photo of this particular one.

Avocado toast can have such an exquisite taste and luxurious feel on the palate. Done right it can be silky, creamy and heavenly. Avocados are a healthy fat (which keeps you full longer) and are just plain delicious! I have a hint on how to keep your ripe avocados staying fresh for longer… #gamechanger

Stunning, right? We always stop for shrimp at Crosby’s Seafood right before you get to Folly Beach (Charleston, SC). We run in, pick up our shrimp, then I have to run out and get a photo or two. There is literally ALWAYS something breathtaking to look at.
Continue reading “VIEW: Crosby’s Seafood Near Folly Beach”The Perfect Meal for a Hot Summer Day!
The flowers sure made everything look extra special! The hot days of summer are upon us. I don’t use the oven much, if ever, in the hot months. I rely on the grill (my husband), cold salads, quick meals that will keep us cool while taking advantage of the most amazing produce available at the time. This was a favorite, bonus is you can make it ahead (except the corn) and *poof*: Dinner. Is. Served!

The weather is beginning to heat up in Charleston, SC – which makes the perfect weather for enjoying a nice smoothie. We’ve visited a few areas and have tasted their green smoothies which were surprisingly good, so… This is a change from our favorite banana smoothies that we love so much (and have drank for years). Now we’re on a new kick and loving it!
