Sweet Potato Cornbread

My family loves to go to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina for vacation. We have been going there since I was a child, and of course have our list of favorite restaurants that we *have* to hit each trip.

The food was certainly good, but one particular item struck my interest: Sweet Potato Cornbread. …

Even Free can come at a cost

Value is an interesting word to define. It’s based partly on market standards, but grounded in individual perspective. An old phrase comes to mind: “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.

Crawfish Bisque

As much as I love eating crawfish, it came as a surprise when I realized that I had never actually cooked with them. They were on sale at my local grocery recently, and so I picked up a pound and a half. Even with the hot weather we have been having, I knew that either a gumbo or bisque was in the making.

It’s a Boy!

Time to finally share my most recent creation. My wife and I have been baking up a bouncing baby boy! We are about 21 weeks along now, and everything is going well. Obviously, at this stage, we don’t really know a lot, except that he currently weighs just under 1 lb. Well, that, and that the ultrasound lady saw boy parts, so there is a little boy chef on the way.
Couldn’t wait to share with everyone.
Stay tuned for more… in about 4 months.
