Grilled Oysters
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010I had the pleasure of enjoying fresh oysters that were cooked on the grill at a family gathering this past weekend.

Cheese anyone?
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010I’m always on the lookout for good appetizer recipes. It’s always a good idea to have an assortment of appetizers for your guest to snack on before the main meal is ready. It also gives you time to socialize with your guest and finalize the dinner preparations. While visiting my dad I found a family cookbook and [...]
A light lunch affair

Here is a great recipe I found [...]
