Hot summer days call for a sandwich lunch and a tall glass of lemonade. Cucumber sandwiches, tomato, turkey clubs, tuna or egg salad...any sandwich your heart desires. I could eat a sandwich every day from June through August. Another classic summertime sandwich: pimiento cheese.

Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Cream cheese is a godsend. I'm constantly impressed with the versatility of it. It's been used in my cheesecakes (duh), lemon bars, icing, casseroles, and stuffed chicken.

BLT Breakfast Salad
I was a photographer for television stations at the beginning of my career. The term "photographer" is a little misleading, though. I was a videographer. There's a massive difference between how people shoot pictures and how people shoot video...and how people shoot television news. I knew my camera like the back of my hand (a… Continue reading BLT Breakfast Salad

Happy Mardi Gras! Every year I try to remember to make some Cajun food for the holiday and every year I forget. Not this year! We went all out this weekend with boudin and King Cake.
