Greek Lemon Potatoes

These Greek Lemon Potatoes are so good, crisp, and tangy. Anything with lemons in the title is worth making, as far as I am concerned. They are made with potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Rosemary, thyme, and parsley. The potatoes are roasted until they are golden brown and tender, and the lemon juice gives them a bright and tangy flavor. This would pair well with some breaded chicken breasts and a salad.

Pickapeppa BBQ Shrimp

Pickapeppa Sauce was invented by a 16 year old boy in Jamaica in 1921. The sauce is sweet, sour and mildly spicy. One traditional use of the sauce is to pour it over a block of cream cheese, to be spread on crackers. You’ve got to try this Pickapeppa BBQ Shrimp. Despite the "BBQ" in its name, it's not cooked on a barbecue grill but rather baked in the oven or sautéed on a stovetop. It's often referred to as "Jamaican ketchup" due to its versatility and unique flavor profile. It’s very simple to make. The complex, savory flavor that comes from the Pickapeppa sauce perfectly complements the shrimp. It’s a New Orleans favorite.

Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola and Arugula Salad

My husband created this absolutely delicious Balsamic Chicken, Fresh Figs, Pistachios, Gorgonzola, and Arugula Salad. The sweet figs, salty pistachios, creamy Gorgonzola, and peppery arugula are all perfectly balanced in this salad, and the balsamic dressing adds a touch of acidity that really brings everything together. It's such a great combination of flavors. We used to have a huge fig tree at our old house and miss it terribly.

Lobster Rolls

Lobster Rolls are one of my favorite things to eat while on the east coast. It’s heaven in a bun. The lobster roll was originated at a restaurant named Perry's, in Milford, Connecticut, as early as 1929.
