Memorial Day is just about here y'all!

As the commemoration of our country's servicemen and women who have died in the line of duty, Memorial Day also kicks off the unofficial beginning of summer in the U.S., with all kinds of events across the country, and, of course, yummy barbecues!

It's a long summer ahead of us, and I just heard that it's gonna be even more hot and muggy than usual. And possibly more tropical storms and hurricanes to deal with too. Ugh.

Well, I say, let's just enjoy the food for now!

We've begun sharing some of those favorite foods we love to have when it's cookout time - even when we may never cook outside! Favorite beverages, appetizers, salads and sides and of course those main dish ribs, chicken, steaks and such, and let's not forget summer desserts!

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 1

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?

Social Media Roundup - Lent Favorites 2

We're having a bit of a strange weather cycle around the country aren't we?

We seem to be cycling between winter and spring even here along the Gulf Coast from one day to the next and I've personally gone from having the heat on in the morning to having the air conditioner on by afternoon way too many days!

But... it is mighty nice to see things blooming up around here finally! My azalea is in full bloom and I had to grab a picture of it before the rain washed all the blooms off.

I call this my "Katrina Azalea" because it started from a clipping that came off of a huge azalea shrub from my previous home and one of the few surviving plants from the saltwater intrusion of that storm into my yard.

We've been sharing some Lent-friendly meal ideas on social media this season, though honestly, these are all recipes for anyone, anytime!

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.

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

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.

Happy New Year y'all!
