Lobster Roll Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette
This amazing salad features grilled lobster, toasted bread croutons, salad greens, tomato, cucumber, and sweet red peppers, all served with a homemade bacon dressing......


Lobster and Corn Chowder
The trick to making this healthy lobster chowder recipe have tons of rich flavor is to start with great fish stock. (The best is often in the freezer case at the supermarket.) Then cook the lobsters in the stock to intensify its flavor. There is no flour added in this healthy soup, so it's lighter than a typical creamy chowder—plus it's gluten-free..........


Stovetop Clambake
Lobsters, clams, mussels, potatoes and corn star in our stovetop clambake. Serve with flavor-packed sauces, like cocktail sauce or tartar sauce, and there won't be a need for the bowls of melted butter that so often turn otherwise virtuous seafood into a nutritional disaster........

Grilled Cheese Sandwich w/ Portobello Mushroom and Madeira Bisque

Dinner Tonight: Grilled Cheese Sandwich w/ Portobello Mushroom and Madeira Bisque

Heavy rain on and off all day. We are on a tornado and high wind warning till about 9:00 tonight. Hope we avoid that weather! Well they finished my new ramp into the house. They did a great job, it looks fantastic. Paid for the new ramp and our Microwave goes out, when it rains it pours! Hopefully get a new one sometime tomorrow. Kept it simple for dinner tonight preparing a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with a Portobello Mushroom and Madeira Bisque.






A Grilled Cheese and a Soup (Bisque) just sounded good! For my Grilled Cheese I used Sargento Ultra Thin Sharp Cheddar Cheese and Klosterman Wheat Bread. Buttered the top and bottom of the Bread with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and put my Cheese in between the slices and Grilled it on a flat-top griddle. Made sure both sides were browned and then served it.

For the Bisque or Soup I used a new one that I haven't tried before, Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Portobello Mushroom and Madeira Bisque. It comes in a microwavable container but since our microwave has died I went with heating it up in a sauce pan. Just heated it on medium heat until it started to simmer. Campbell's has a winner with this one! Nice chunks of Mushrooms with excellent seasoning. Served it with a side of Oyster Crackers. Fantastic Comfort Food Dinner tonight! For dessert/snack later tonight some slices of Cracker Barrel 2% Sharp Cheddar Cheese on Ritz Whole Grain Crackers.
