Making homemade marinades is always fun. And it’s usually results in a much tastier marinade than those store-bought marinades. One of my favorite fruits to use in marinades is lime. Chipotle Lime, Cilantro Lime, Mint Lime. You can get pretty creative with limes when making marinades. Citrus usually mixes well with seafood. Over the past [...]
Last week while in the checkout line of the grocery store I was checking out the magazines. Do you ever do that? Browse the covers of the magazines, searching for anything good? I’ll admit, I even scour the cover of the tabloid magazines; they either make me laugh or make me grunt in disgust. But [...]

I’m in love with chowders. Clam Chowder, Crab Chowder and Corn Chowder are my favorite types of chowder. After having a bowl of delicious Corn Chowder recently at a restaurant in our area, I decided that I wanted to make a corn chowder. Then, earlier this week, I decided that I wanted to make a [...]
