About me
Cooking is second nature to me and my passion features Gulf Coast seafood. I like the simple pleasures of home-style meals, the love of local Creole & Cajun food and my enjoyment of Mexican and Western style cooking. Oh, and I love outdoor cooking, not just to past time, but 'cause it's a southern tradition.
Cooking Influences
Licking spoons and bowls made me appreciate good, home made cooking. Living in a small town during my youth, growing up on a farm and appreciating the hard work of family made me who I am today. My mother, grandmother and our cooks are a few of the people who taught me to understand the significance of eating good, homespun foods.

- May 16, 2013I just took a close look at some of your your recipes and can't wait to try some of them. Your gumbo recipe will be the first, I think. My Dad was stationed at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery on two different occasions when I was a little girl and we had some of the BEST seafood down on the coast there in Ala. I lived 30+ years on the Texas Gulf Coast, too, in Galveston, so seafood is a real love of mine.

I'm looking for a recipe for Shrimp & Grits where the grits are actually fried before adding the sauce and shrimp. Any ideas?
Martha- September 20, 2012Martha, I am so sorry I just found this in my CES message box... I know it is too late but here is how I have fried cakes made from grits in the past.... http://dricksramblingcafe.blogspot.com/2010/10/creole-casserole-of-grits-fried-grits.html
