Tierra Verde & Surrounding Areas
Headed back to TV for the first time since 2008. In need of some dinner/lunch spots (nothing fancy... fresh and local a plus!!!). Last time we were there I remember eating the cuban salad at Billy's and the crab cakes at Backfin Blue.
Anxious to hear what you suggest. Many thanks in advance!
Tailgating JIMMY BUFFETT Style
These all sound delish!! Thanks so much for the great ideas :)
Tailgating JIMMY BUFFETT Style
Putting together a tailgate for the Jimmy Buffett concert tomorrow. So far we are going to do shrimp and cheeseburgers (in paradise?) on the grill. Im gonna mix up some margs and maybe do key lime tarts for dessert, but need some other ideas... especially for the sides. Was thinking GA caviar would be a good light one, but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Coleslaw at Blackbear in Morgantown, WV
Does anyone know how to make this delish coleslaw? It is probably the best I have ever had!!!
What are your favorite Southern Living recipes?
Thanks! It looks great, and I love the ramekin idea.
What are your favorite Southern Living recipes?
I am interested in trying some new recipes and have a few SL cookbooks, so my question for you is what to make?! I'm looking to expand my file of tried and true, so I'd love to have your suggestions :)
TIA
America's Test Kitchen / Cook's Illustrated Warehouse Clearance Sale
Did you order any? Is this directly from their website? I didn't recognize the address. Good deals... Guess I'm just a little hesitant.
paraffin?
My Mother always made these at Christmas time and used Gulf wax. My Dad was a big chocolate fan, so he always requested they be double dipped! Yum!
Dinner FAIL... Thai Corn Fritters/Cakes
Would you be willing to share the recipe? They sound delish! Is the dipping sauce straight Sirracha or a combo?
Dinner FAIL... Thai Corn Fritters/Cakes
I will absolutely try this one! Looks pretty similar with less flour and egg. Thanks so much!
Dinner FAIL... Thai Corn Fritters/Cakes
Of course!
Corn Fritters
3 ears of corn, 9oz (I used an 110z. can of Green Giant summer crisp)
1 garlic clove, crushed
Small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small red or green chilli, finely chopped (used a jalepeno)
1 scallion, finely chopped
1 T soy sauce
3/4 cup AP flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
4 T water
Salt & Pepper
Was going for a crisp (both in veggie and fried texture). I wanted almost all corn, but this ended up being at least have paste like batter :(
Dinner FAIL... Thai Corn Fritters/Cakes
I am sad to report that half of tonight's dinner went in the trash. I made sweet chili salmon with corn fritters and wasabi mashed potatoes. The corn fritters were just AWFUL. First of all, when fried, they looked like they were held together with brown paste rather than being all veggie like the pic in my cookbook. I think it was just way to much binder (3/4 cup AP flour, 2 eggs). Anyone have any good ideas on these? I think it could have been a nice meal with a little recipe tweaking, but I just do not have a lot of experience with these!

What are your easy no fail Asian recipes?
Fried rice... I usually do it with spicy shrimp and then save the leftover shrimp for tacos the next day. Can't wait to hear others favs :)
Cook Yourself Thin
Have any of y'all seen this show? Tried any of the recipes? I am hesitant... They did do Mac and Cheese in individual ramekins for portion control, which I thought was a good idea and made for a nice presentation. Anxious to hear what y'all think!
Do you grow your own herbs?
I had not even thought of Lemongrass, but that is a fantastic idea! Thai food is one of my absolute favorites! Thank you all so much for the comments and ideas! It is greatly appreciated :)
Do you grow your own herbs?
Wow! I am so impressed and inspired :). Thanks for the tip on the mint! I was thinking of adding it next, although I will probably have to start that from a plant rather than seed if I want it in time for the Derby! Into it's own pot it will go!
Do you grow your own herbs?
Hello All... I have just ventured into the world of growing your own herbs after getting tired of paying $4 for fresh basil, so a few questions: What do you grow? What do you find essential for a fresh herb garden (so far I have a Rosemary plant and my basil and parsley seeds are starting to sprout)? When you go to replant seedlings, do you plant in the biodegradable cups? Lastly, what is your favorite use of fresh herbs? Thanks!!
How do I make a sweet, moist cornbread!?
I hadn't thought of soaking the meal. Thanks so much for the tip!
How do I make a sweet, moist cornbread!?
I am hoping y'all can help me with this. I just cannot seem to find a recipe for a sweet moist cornbread. I have tried a number of recipes, including this one last night http://southernfood.about.com/od/cornbread/r/r80508f.htm. All seem to yield the same results: a bland, somewhat dry cornbread. I thought the creamed corn might be the answer, but it was not. I am not eating meat during Lent, so I had made the cornbread into muffins to eat with soups. Perhaps that contributed to the dryness? Any tips/recipes would be greatly appreciated!
In need of interesting meals without beef, chicken or pork for Lent
I had completely forgotten about eggs! Thanks so much for the suggestions, all!
jambalaya---what to serve with it?
I like to do a green salad and key lime pie for dessert!
In need of interesting meals without beef, chicken or pork for Lent
These look great... Thanks so much! I get the feeling that I'll be doing a lot of seafood and pastas, but I'm also going to try to do some things with beans and stir fry (not together). Thanks again for the suggestions!

Favorite Pioneer Woman Recipes
I know the Pioneer Woman has received some mixed reviews on here, but I have enjoyed everything of hers that I have tried. My favorites so far: Penne a la Betsy, Cajun Chicken Pasta, pimento cheese and her jalepeno poppers.
Would love to know your favorites!

My Lenten sacrifice this year is going to be meat (beef, chicken and pork). I am looking for hearty veggie recipes, as well as your favorites with seafood. I look forward to hearing your ideas :)
Many Thanks!!

I'd love that stir fry recipe if you get the chance! Sounds delish!
Restaurant in Grand Asia Supermarket off Buck Jones in Cary, NC
Has anyone eaten here? I'm really curious about it, but have not made it happen. If you have eaten here, how were the prices and what was good?
Many thanks!
