April 29, 2010

I’ve posted so many times about Southern Shrimp.  I can’t begin to tell you how sad I am about the oil spill in the Gulf. I pray for the people who make their livelihood from the Gulf region that this will be resolved soon. I don’t know that much about the Gulf oil platforms. I [...]

Southern Strawberries

April 26, 2010

I love strawberries! I decided to try out an idea I had brewing in my brain this past weekend. I took the lemon-thyme cookie dough that I just loved and used it as a crust for individual tart pans.

Southern Veggie Plate
