Fall Fish Chowder

Fall Fish Chowder

  Fall is fast approaching! I’m not living in Virginia, so there are no more drives through the Blue Ridge mountains to see the foliage, and barely any crisp fall days in New Orleans.

Summer Hits

I wanted to share some of my favorite summer recipes with you, old & new!

TOMATOES

Tomato & Goat Cheese Bruschetta

I haven’t always been a fan of raw tomatoes. I often find them underripe, out of season, or just flavorless. That all changed when I discovered this preparation while working in an Italian restaurant in Connecticut. I’ve been obsessed with it ever since and find it perfect for entertaining. This is an oldie,

Courtbouillon

I’ve been craving a lot of New Orleans dishes lately. I made red beans and rice for the Super Bowl and this week decided to make Courtbouillon. What is that you ask? Well…I first had the dish just a couple of weeks after moving to New Orleans in the summer of 2012. Courtney and I…
