Happy Thursday! I hope your week is going swimmingly. And if it isn’t? At least you can take comfort in knowing that the weekend is just around the corner. This past Saturday we drove to Bay St. Louis to visit Grannie and my mother-in-law. It was such a beautiful day, and we decided to go out…

Roux Dat: The Best Gumbo in ‘Bama
Gumbo is something special. Every family along the Gulf Coast has their favorite, and it’s usually a family recipe, handed down through several generations.

Fine Dining at a “Chicken Shack”
Happy Friday, blog world. I’m excited to say my first full week back from the holiday didn’t kill me. Since we have no dinner staples in our house and planned to grocery shop (yeah, on a Friday night), we decided to eat dinner out. While we were initially going to go to a newly-opened chain…
Exercising my right…to eat shrimp
