	Buttery Brioche by Nikki S. Moore My husband and I celebrated the arrival of 2013 in Paris. Except for taxi rides to and from the airport, we explored Paris by foot. We stumbled upon pastry shops, ate meals that demanded more walking, and drank cups of coffee and wine while resting our feet in bistros. On our last day in Paris, being good tourists, we shopped and…	1 vote 773 views
	Prawn Cocktail by Walter I thought today I do something nice and easy, something that fits well for a Sunday or a dinner party, a Prawn Cocktail. Ahhhh, this is so 70 ties....yes it is but it is an absolute all time favorite. When I was working on the ships I was amazed how many of them we sold every single night during the cruise. It must have been hundreds…	0 votes 349 views
	Southern (or Mississippi) Caviar by Nikki S. Moore Beans are a pantry staple in my house. Economical and a good source of protein, it makes sense to keep them around in canned and dried form. Canned beans in particular are good in an emergency when the pantry is bare and people are hungry. Heated with a few seasonings one can serve them atop rice, throw them into a salad, or blend…	1 vote 374 views

	Weeknight Cooking and Spicy Shrimp Fajitas by Nikki S. Moore Weeknight cooking doesn’t have to be boring, pre-packaged, or microwaved.

The less time you have to cook during the week, the more organized you need to be. I…	1 vote 503 views
	Braised Lamb Shoulder by Walter We are cooking again. It has been a little while since the last post, that is due to the business at the hotel, but finally I have a bit time to write again.We are just about to change the a la carte menu, it has been overdue for a major overhaul as we have started serving a dinner menu now, so the a la carte needs to get smaller…	1 vote 399 views
	Grouper Fillet on Tomato and Chili Salsa by Walter Now it is time to do something fishy, yes, a nice grouper, on potatoes and then a spicy tomato and chili salsa with it.Grouper is a fantastic fish, the meat is nice and firm, very white and so tasty, one of the best fishes here in Ghana, at least in my humble opinion. Often the fish is very big which can make the meat a bit chewy, so…	1 vote 313 views
	Cherry Cheesecake Braid by Shannon Millisor I have always loved breakfast treats, there are always so many types to choose from. Danish, muffins, coffee cakes, doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, biscuits, popovers, scones...It's the details that really make the difference (in my opinion of course). A fresh picked fruit, compound butter made with sweet orange zest, a sugar topping, or a…	1 vote 451 views
	Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce by Nikki S. Moore Last summer, I got into canning. A few classes at my local extension office had me over my fears of botulism and my cabinets filled up with salsas, pickles, jams, and tomato sauce. Over the past year, we topped sandwiches with homemade pickles with just the right amount of tang, spread our morning toast with peach jam that tasted…	1 vote 1007 views
	Polvoron by Walter This Filipino dish is something I have eaten the last couple of years, but never actually made it myself, so it is about time to try it out and share the results. A Polvoron is a cookie, a really amazing tasting cookie and as the name already might give away, it is a very powdery cookie.Originally the Polvoron comes from Spain and is…	1 vote 307 views
	Peanut Butter & Banana Oreo Bites by Shannon Millisor With only 4 ingredients these little cups are so easy to make and addicting to eat! When I took this picture there were maybe eight left for pictures. The recipe makes three dozen. Even my son loved these and kept asking for just one more. I almost venture to say these are healthier because they have banana in them. Anything with…	1 vote 437 views

	Tropical Banana Bread with Chocolate, Coconut, and Pecans by Nikki S. Moore It’s hard to beat banana bread. It requires the use of an ingredient that is on its last legs (that brown and mushy banana in your fruit bowl is just perfect), demands minimal time to make, and a moist loaf, sitting on one’s counter, is a hit with anyone. Yes, anyone. I have never met someone who doesn’t like banana bread and…	1 vote 484 views
