Blueberry Balsamic Red Onion & Gruyere Grilled Cheese
I’m always, always on the lookout for the next best grilled cheese sandwich. I seek inspiration at every turn. Every turn down the grocery store isle. Every turn through food magazine features. And every page turn of my current favorite cook book. And there she was. Right in front of me for nearly a month before she jumped out and bit me. That gorgeous Emmentaler on Rye sandwich inspired our Blueberry Balsamic Red Onion & Gruyere Grilled Cheese.

Crispy Fried Shrimp {six ways}
As a kid who grew up eating frozen fish sticks at least once a week, and loving them I might add….imagine my delight when I was introduced to frozen battered shrimp. Oh my word. What a treat. Well….that was then, and these from scratch Crispy Fried Shrimp are definitely NOW.

Buffalo Shrimp
We were gifted 7 pounds of fresh-off-the-boat Georgia shrimp a month or two back (thanks to my mom & dad in-law). I froze them in one pound packs so they would thaw quickly when we had a shrimp hankering. On this particular day, I couldn’t get enough of these Buffalo Shrimp. They were too tasty not to share.

Pretzel Crusted Pork Tenderloin {Stuffed with Jalapeño Peach Cream Cheese}
Our Pretzel Crusted Pork Tenderloin {Stuffed with Jalapeño Peach Cream Cheese} would make a delicious Sunday dinner, but is easy enough for a weeknight meal. This recipe was born out of our new found love of skillet jams. A fantastic way to turn the fruits of the summer into recipe inspiration.

Carne Asada Marinated Beef Tips {over Jalapeño & Corn Grits}
I saw this plate of heavenly food in a magazine ad (something very similar to this plate). I knew at that moment I would either have to drive to the restaurant or recreate it at home. That’s when our Marinated Beef Tips {over Jalapeño & Corn Grits} were born.

Seared Sea Scallops {over Tomato Bacon Jam & Herb Infused Grits}
Let me break down Seared Sea Scallops {over Tomato Bacon Jam & Herb Infused Grits} layer by layer. This dish is the love child of two farmers markets visits in one day. I scored some gorgeous tomatoes at my morning market and sweet sea scallops from my evening market. Then in my one mile drive home I came up with this recipe. It’s that simple.

Turkey Divan Grilled Cheese Sandwich
At first this Turkey Divan Grilled Cheese Sandwich vision seemed a bit of a stretch. However, since it was born out of ingredients already in our fridge/pantry it was worth giving it a go. No risk, no reward.

Jalapeno Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole
Our Jalapeno Poppy Seed Chicken Casserole is a spin off of a very popular and delicious recipe. I enjoyed it at a luncheon recently and it’s been on my mind ever since. According to an internet search, it seems to have been recreated at least a bazillion times. Here’s our version, based on ingredients already in our fridge and pantry.
