Black-eyed Peas and Collard Greens

We always have black-eyed peas on New Year’s Day.  If you want any luck in the coming year, you better have some.  The more you eat, the luckier you’ll be.  

December In Bloom

Oh, the weather outside is… delightful!  Head outside for some sunshine.  You can clean up all that wrapping paper later.

Key Lime Christmas Cookies

All along US1 through the Florida Keys you’ll see signs for “The Best” key lime pie, key lime juice, key lime cookies, even chocolate-dipped-frozen-key-lime-pie-on-a-stick.

Stone Crab Claws & Sauce

Honey & Meyer Lemon Curd

I recently tried to explain lemon curd to a friend who had never heard of it.  The name made her cringe.  I guess it does sound a bit unappetizing. I’m afraid it only got worse after I described how it’s made.  

Smoked Bluefish with Black Mustard Seeds
