Linguini with shrimp, artichoke hearts, capers and local tomatoes, oregano and basil. Served with a healthy shave of parmesan cheese. Very comforting dish on a chilly evening.

Grilled "porterhouse" pork chop with Michigan corn and spinach with garlic and lemon. Pure Michigan!

Leftovers from weekend lake party. Frank's fried chicken (the best in this area), local corn, homemade potato salad and a delicious salad made from spinach, apples, dried cherries, candied walnuts, bacon and goat cheese. Dressed with bacon fat and balsamic vinegar.

Fresh local Lake White Fish, Corn on the Cob and Green Beans. Served with homemade tartar sauce. The last rays of summer.

Made hash and eggs with leftover mixed sausages. Was very delicious! To me, hash is leftover protein, red bell pepper, onion and potato.

Grilled smoked pork chop, local corn and delicata squash. Smoked pork chops are so tender and juicy, no need to cook, just hit the grill for a warm through and a few grill marks. yum

Jerk wings served with black beans and rice and garlicky lemon spinach.

Grilled kielbasa, onions and peppers served with my favorite summer salad; tomato, basil and mozzarella pearls, dressed in olive oil, salt and a splash of rice vinegar.

I simmered corn cobs in water for a few hours. Strained for a nice corn broth. Wished I had crab meat but only had cod loins in freezer. So, I made a lovely corn and fish chowder. It was very delicious and almost as good as crab and corn chowder.

Gotta love my Polish Deli! Black Forest Ham and herbed Havarti with Bacon Jam on bakery Pumpernickel. Served with fermented dill pickles, fresh corn and soup. So very yummy!

Grilled Jerk Turkey Breast Tenderloin. Served with spicy black beans and rice and garlic green beans. The turkey was so tender I could cut it with my fork.

I'm getting pretty good at making seared tuna. This meal was delicious!

Soft Shelled Crab BLT with homemade potato salad and asparagus soup garnished with parmesan cheese. I used Yukon Gold potatoes, which gave the salad an odd color. Husband and I can't get enough of these crab BLTs!

Leftover red snapper fish cakes were so tasty. I used the standard crab cake recipe and sauteed them in olive oil. Came out way better than I was hoping they would. Weird pasta side dish was also a leftover. So waste not want not.

Linguini with Italian sausage ragu, topped with parmesan cheese. Very comforting meal. Yumm!
