I has a new boyfriend! And that means I've been cooking him delicious meals which I'll share with you below. He even cooks for me sometimes! :o)
Meal #1
This was my first home-cooked meal for Michael, so the pressure was on to create a great menu. He stuck around, so he must have approved. :o)

Beaufort Stew
Being from South Carolina, Michael made us this traditional southern-coastal dish to enjoy as we watched a full Saturday of SEC football. It was so delish! Here's the recipe: http://www.discoversouthcarolina.com/see-do/food/flavors/appitizerssoups/frogmorestew/default.aspx.
Pizza Dip
Yesterday was another day of AR and SC college football and after the afternoon at Foghorn's, we baked some pizza dip for the evening game. A classic local dish from Grub's, we made our very own: http://southernfood.about.com/od/cheesedips/r/bl90129d.htm.
More to come of course! :o)
Thank you for the 'sweet potato' love! I hope your boyfriend enjoyed them!!
