Shrimp Boil without the Mess!

"Shell Yeah!!"  It's Delicious and our friends LOVED it.

Let's Shell-ebrate good times and get cooking!

Slice up your Corn into small pieces like this.

The Trick?

Slice up about one pound of Red New Potatoes

Original Creole Seasoning!

star of the show the way it enhances the The September Bake!

How simple is this going to be?

Lots of Shakes with the Creole Seasoning!

Grab that BUTTER and pour it all over the top.

Mix and off to a 400 degree oven for about 40 minutes.

Half way through the cooking you are

going to want to give it a stir.

 

 "Shell-ebrate" even more good times with 

some Corn Bread while you Devour the

September Shrimp Bake!

I followed the recipe on The Jiffy Corn Mix but added

some Corn & Honey to mine.

stir half way before it's done.

right from the cooking pan but I transfer

mine to a cute Red dish.

CLASSIC POTATO SALAD

 

Nothing screams SUMMER like a cold 

Potato Salad & Lemonade.

Potato Salad is one of those dishes you can find at almost any

picnic or barbecue during the Summer.

I remember my mother-in law Eunice would make a

Delicious Potato Salad all the time back 

in Maryland. Such great Memories!

Everyone has their own version of Potato Salad

which is so fun and this is one is mine.

But now let's get started with mine.

Boil up some small Red Potatoes and let them cool.

Toss in about 4 hard boiled Eggs.

Toss in some diced up Celery & Red Onions.

Dollop in some Mayo, Sweet Relish and Mustard.

Give this bowl a mix.

want to a little more of this or that.
