Breaking Bread with a Tiger Fan!

What a beautiful morning we are having in South Georgia! Love to wake up and have my coffee in this chilly weather. Today is another grand Saturday for us LSU fans! LSU will be playing in Knoxville to challenge the Tennessee Volunteers at 3:30.The game will be televised to a national audience on CBS. Neyland Stadium seats 102,000 and we all know that Tennessee’s fans will be fired up to take on the top-ranked team in the country. LSU enters the game ranked No. 1 in the nation for the third straight week, and has won all six of its games by double-digits! So with that being said we are getting geared up to watch another exciting game. Today I am cooking a Low Country boil. Low Country boil is a perennial favorite here in the Wagner household.  This recipe is Easy Like Sunday Morning!  You can throw everything in one pot and not have to worry about a lot of prep work. This is how I like it on game day Saturday’s, not much prep work so I can spend my time getting pumped up for the game. It is so funny how I cook a grand meal every Saturday for my Tigers and NO ONE ever comes to watch the game with me. I sit in front of the TV with a “carpet picnic” of fine Cajun vittles and cheer on my team. I kinda like it, like that.  Sometimes friends will stop by and eat a bite, but they leave when the game comes on. If you are not a die-hard tiger fan, you probably would rather not watch the game with me. I am a little passionate over my Tigers! Hope everyone has a Beautiful weekend! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

Home

Looking forward to a weekend at home. For the past several weekends I have been out of town. I have enjoyed getting out of town and being with my friends but there is nothing like being at home. I find so much joy in being at home in my kitchen. Some people feel like cooking is a chore. I on the other hand find cooking to be relaxing and a stress reducer. I have always found so much joy in cooking and sharing my food with others. I was talking to a friend at work and she told me that someone was asking who had made the cookies for the fundraiser we had a couple of weeks ago. She said that a friend of hers was talking about how good they were and that he really enjoyed them. This makes me feel so good when other people enjoy my food and recipes.

Andy and I are going to smoke salmon tomorrow. I have not decided what I am going to have with it. Any ideas? We will post pics and the recipes.

I hope you have a great weekend enjoying whatever it is you like to do!

Beach Trip

Good morning! What a great morning it is in Sea Side. The weather is beautiful and I am with great friends. The weather is perfect. There is a nice breeze coming off of the Gulf and the sun is shining. I have so much to be grateful for.
I had too much Community Coffee this morning and am feeling a little jacked up. I really need some breakfast to take the edge off. The girls and I are about to get dressed and go find some yummy breakfast. Then we are off to the farmers market in Sea Side. I can’t wait to see what all they have. My friend Griff and I are going to get a bunch of seafood and other goodies to cook up for our friends.
When Griff and I were planning the trip we talked about the things we were going to bring with us. We are not your ordinary girls that talk about bringing our hot bikini and our new strapless dress? No, we discussed bringing the deep fat fryer, fondue pot and all of my new products I got from Slap Ya Mama. Too funny! I am excited about cooking and breaking bread with the girls. I will defiantly take pics and post some of the recipes we come up with today. I hope all of you have a great day!

Party Pleasers

 

It is getting to be that time of year where we are planning for the holiday parties. Here are some tips to help with your next party.

Calorie free club soda adds sparkle to iced fruit juices, makes them go further, and reduces calories per portion. 

When possible, float ice in punch rather than ice cubes.  This is not only more decorative, buts also inhibits melting and diluting (you can also freeze fruit juice to make an ice ring).

When serving hors…d’oeuvres on a silver tray, you may want to protect it from acids by covering it with leafy green lettuce.

Cheese should be served at room temperature.

Perfect Weather for Soup, Gumbo or Stew

I am loving this cool weather.  I woke up this morning and made my coffee and headed out to the porch to enjoy this great fall morning.  I am trying to figure out what I am going to cook today.  When the weather changes I can’t wait to cook up some good ol soup, gumbo or stew.  It has always been a family tradition.  I know I want to put something in my crock pot. I have a lot to do today and don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen 😦                      I have some different things going on in my head but have not made a final decision.  I will definitely post my recipe as soon as I get it all together. I am thinking chicken and shrimp.  Any suggestions?
