Social Media Roundup Cookout Menu Ideas 2

With Memorial Day and summer cookouts around the corner, we've begun sharing on our social media some of those favorite foods we love to have when it's cookout time - even for those of us who don't really cook outside much!

We've got you covered for beverages and cocktails, appetizers, dips, salads and sides as well as main dish offerings and summer desserts!

We share on social media regularly every day, but unfortunately, algorithms keep a lot of those posts hidden from our members there who have actually "liked" the page! I've starting duplicating some of those shares in roundups right here on my website.

Social Media Roundup Seafood Favorites 2

Social Media Roundup - Seafood Favorites 2, What You Missed! Gulf Coast Style Pan Fried Crab Cakes, Hushpuppy Breaded Fried Shrimp, Godchaux Mixed Seafood Salad with Creole Vinaigrette Dressing, Seafood and Eggplant Dressing and Spicy Orange Pecan Shrimp Stir Fry

Seafood Favorites 2

We've been sharing more of our classic favorites on social media lately and of course, considering I live right along the Gulf Coast that is very often seafood and certainly a lot of shrimp recipes!

I do love shrimp and it's a very versatile protein.

Of course Fridays have always been a seafood day here where I live, as much as Mondays have always been a red beans and rice day, but we have amazing seafood here along the Gulf Coast so any day can be a seafood day!

Social Media Roundup - Seafood Favorites, What You Missed! Skillet Shrimp and Pasta with Asparagus, Classic Fried Shrimp on a Po'boy, Crabbie Melts, Tex-Mex Grilled Shrimp Tacos and Boudin Stuffed Shrimp.

Seafood Favorites 1

My husband, aka to y'all as The Cajun, loves his seafood.

Anytime I fix supper that is seafood based he talks about how blessed we are here along the Gulf Coast to have such great access to fresh seafood, and he's right!

The best deal of course is when you get out there on a boat and catch it fresh yourself. You can even pull in some good eating right off of a local pier, but buying it at the local fish monger is good too, though you do pay a bit of a premium because somebody else did the work!

But... what if you're landlocked?

Lent Favorites - What you've missed on social media recently! Hushpuppy Breaded Fried Shrimp, Salmon Patties, Homemade Vegetable Soup, Mustard Fried Fish, Cheese Delights and Lenten Shrimp and Egg Gumbo.

Man has this been a crazy winter or what?

While we in the Deep South have had some extended freezes, as I watch footage shared across weather media, I wonder how some of y'all deal with that kind of weather in your day to day lives. Watching cars and trucks uncontrollably slipping and sliding on icy roads, slamming into buildings and each other like little matchbox cars, it scares me to death!

And then there's something some of us are experiencing that our elders never really prepared us for.

This sure has been a crazy month in the Deep South with all of these winter storms rolling through. We have readers from all across the country so I know that a lot of you have been affected by them too. Even here in the Deep South we've had multiple freezes lasting well into the day even, and that's highly unusual for us.

Be safe, stay warm and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Social Media Roundup - Comfort Food Favorites 2

Y'all. I can't believe we are halfway through the month of January already!

As much as it seems that life stands still when you're young, I can assure you that when you hit "a certain age" it flies. Seems like my grandchildren were toddlers yesterday and here they are teens and preteens.

I know that a lot of you are on hiatus from your favorite cooking blogs - but don't forget about us!! We're still plugging along and with this crazy weather if you're looking for some great comfort food options to warm those bellies, we've been sharing some good stuff over on social media!

Social Media Roundup New Year Menu Collections

Ever wonder why many Southerners eat certain foods to ring in the new year? Or, what are the traditional foods that make up a Southern New Year's menu and how they came to be?  Read on to find out AND grab some great recipes too, straight from Deep South Dish!

I learned when I shared the image above on my Facebook page, that not every single Southerner today buys into the traditions, and they sure let me know.

That's okay for them, but some of us stand by these rituals year after year as the New Year rolls in!

I'm not a particularly superstitious person myself, but somehow I just don't seem right unless I have some kind of pork on New Year's Day along with some kind of greens or cabbage and always black-eyed peas and cornbread. Besides y'all. It's all so tasty!

For me, it's a bit of a nod to those who came before me, as well as a nod to our future generations that when things seem dire, there is always hope.

I've provided the history, well as I know it, as to why these things are traditional, along with a variety of my classic recipes for each of those elements.

Just tap or click on the photo above or this link to get your choices for your New Year's Day pork roast, greens, black-eyed peas and cornbread - there are a lot of recipes, just scroll through them to find your own favorite!

Of course can't miss the party before too!

I've gathered up some of my favorite appetizers for New Year's Eve including Grape Jelly Sausages or Meatballs, Shrimp and Grits, Sausage Cheese Balls, Green Chile Cheese Squares, Shrimp Cocktail, Crab Stuffed Potatoes, Sausage Hanky Pankies, Chex Mix and much much more, including the "after party" things you might need, and for convenience, some of the next day recipes as well.

Tap on the champagne glasses above or this link to check out all of the New Year's Eve goodness!

Happy New Year y'all!

A collection of cabbage soup and stew recipes all from the Deep South Dish website. Pictured above are Old Fashioned Vegetable Cabbage Soup, Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup, Cajun Cabbage Stew, Ham and Cabbage Soup, Sausage and Sweet Potato Soup with Black-eyed Peas, Leek and Cabbage Soup with Andouille Sausage and Diet Cabbage Soup with Turkey.

Cabbage Soup Round-up

I love cabbage cooked all kinds of different ways, but I especially love cabbage central soups.

Unfortunately, my husband aka The Cajun, isn't as big a fan of it as me, meaning when I make any kind of cabbage dish, well... it's all for me.

That doesn't stop me though y'all, and neither should it stop you.

If you love a certain dish the rest of your family isn't interested in, I say treat yourself occasionally and make it. Just for you. The rest of the family can get along just fine on leftovers or sandwiches, trust me.

Well, the weather has certainly been wackadoodle here lately in the Deep South.

We are back to near summertime temperatures, or rather... what should be "normal" pleasant, but warm summertime temperatures that so many of you love and enjoy... not the oppressive, unbearable summertime heat we actually experience down here and frankly, are over!

In other words, it's warm, but it's not too bad, so, yeah... we're a little warmer right now than I would like, but it is fall, so fall focus continues our roundup today.

Besides, stay tuned. Winter is heading in next week I hear, yes, even here in the Deep South, though we probably won't see those freezing temps lots of others will.

'Mary’s Mint Infused Southern Sweet Iced Tea'

My potted mint struggled a bit this summer, but it's making a comeback! Time for some adult mojitos and maybe a little sweet tea infused with fresh mint.

The Vidalia onion season is near the end y'all, so get them in while you can! Caramelizing the onions for this classic sour cream and onion dip really takes it up a notch.

Unfortunately, although I do continue to share to social media on a regular basis, it seems that quite a few folks have left those venues these days. Because of that, I'm publishing an occasional summary of those roundups here on the website for Deep South Dish readers who primarily follow the website via email alerts.

This will give you a chance to catch up!

Garden fresh corn, sweet bell peppers, tomatoes and some red onion, combine with a sweet and sour vinegar and oil dressing for a wonderful summer salad!

A collection of home cook rib recipes from DeepSouthDish.com, from rubbed and sauced and cooked low and slow in the oven, to grilled, Memphis-style dry rubbed, slow cooker, Instant Pot, oven-braised, country-style, and more to come!

Ribs!

I love ribs of any kind!

Put a few delicately smoked ribs that have been pampered over for hours on end in front of me, and I'll gobble them up for sure!

I'm just a home cook though, so I'm just not likely to be the one to stand over that wood fired smoker to make them. I'll leave that business to the experts.
