0The heat is on! It’s too hot to be cooking so I do a lot of salads in the summer. Topping your salad with some marinated butter beans add flavor and a substance to a salad. For a long time, I avoided butter beans. They looked too much like lima beans and my lima bean…

Summer Coquito | Rum and Coconut Popsicle Cocktail

If you are familiar with coquito, you might be saying, “Coquito in the summer?” Yes! If you have never had coquito, allow me a moment to change…
Cedar Plank Salmon and Herb Yogurt
Cooking salmon on a cedar plank infuses smoky flavor into the salmon. The tangy herb yogurt sauce is a perfect complement to the cedar plank salmon. A great summer dish for a summer barbecue. I don’t eat much seafood. If you search The Noshery archives you will find very few seafood recipes. It’s not that I…
Fancy BLT with Balsamic Mayo
Bacon, lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread! What is there not to love? I love a good BLT because…hello, bacon! And then I added a runny egg. I know! It’s almost too much to take. When I was a kid, my father played in a bowling league and sometimes I would get to tag along….
Blistered Tomato Mozzarella and Arugula Salad
It’s starting to get hot! Blistering hot, like these tomatoes. Summer is for salads and this tomato mozzarella and arugula salad is a winner. Blistered tomatoes are where it’s at my friends.

Rain and Getaways
All it has done lately is rain and rain and rain. Did I mention it’s been raining? Constant rain means my productivity level is much like a sloth’s. All I want to do is lay on the sofa under the blanket curled up with my fur ball. Thank goodness we’re not having any flooding issues just mud everywhere….
Spicy Guava Glazed Shrimp and Coconut Milk Grits
Having spent a good chunk of my childhood stationed in Georgia, I became very familiar with shrimp and grits. And, I have to confess I was not a fan of grits. In fact, for years, I declared my hate for them without abandon. I would make twisted and contorted faces whenever I even heard them mentioned….
Asian Chicken and Toasted Coconut Rice Bowls
Between you and me I love bowls. More specifically I love to eat out of bowls. There is just something about eating from a bowl that makes food more satisfying. I can sit in a chair with my legs crossed holding a bowl in one hand and a fork in the other. I can hold the…
Elderflower Mint Julep
The weather in Texas during May is fickled but the sun is starting to make a regular appearance and I am digging it! We are spending long evenings out on the deck grilling and enjoying some refreshing adult beverages. The one cocktail that I think is the most refreshing on a warm day is a mint…
