Well friends, I've been holding out on you... but I return today from a month-long vacation in New England. That explains my MIA status in visiting not a single blog in the last 30 days. We stayed in a beach house north of Cape Cod where we enjoyed the sun and sand, visiting relatives, evening cocktails, and loads of local seafood. A great, great vacation! Here are some recipe highlights from the trip:
Spicy Crab- Stuffed Mushrooms
Low- Fat Baked Crab Cakes
White Peach Sangria
Black Dog Quahog Chowder
Grilled Striped Bass with Garlic- Mustard Sauce
And plenty of lobstah! Just steamed with butter. And a few lobster rolls too. Oh yeah.
That's just the beginning. I'll have many more fun beach & seafood recipes from my trip to share in the coming weeks.
I look forward to seeing what you have all been up to creating in your kitchens in my absence!

Ooh! You came back from seafood heaven! Those crab recipes look seriously, absolutely delicious :)
Welcome back I am so jealous. That white peach sangria looks awesome and so does the lobster Yummo.
You've been missed!! The food looks so good. I hope reentry into the real world isn't too rough on you!
Glad you are back...looks wonderful.
Well, I just happened to find you via The Hungry Housewive. I absolutely love your recipes, will bookmark you for sure. But had to comment that I am from cape cod. Don't know where you stayed but sounds like you went to the lower cape area. I'm in the Sandwich area. Hope you had a good stay. How did you like the humidity here? Kinda rough at times. I hope to move back to cali someday soon. Love the peach sangria; I am a huge sangria fanatic.
Wow, that's some great looking food! Can't wait to hear more about your trip and your recipes. Welcome Back!

OMG! My mouth is watering! Everything looks sooo good. I need to try some of these recipes. Welcome back!
You should have let me know you were headed this way. I would have rolled out the red carpet. I know the Cape like the back of my hand.....we had a summer home there for years. Next time give me a heads up. I'll treat to lobsta and all the fixins........

I can't lie--New England is an awesome place for a vacation. ;)
Well I'm glad you enjoyed my "backyard" while here....LOL Hull is on the South Shore, about 20 miles south of Boston and about 1 hour north of the "bridges." Next time you head this way, give me a shout. I'll have bisque waiting.
Not fair to make us all jealous.....I am happy that you had a great holiday....a feast by the looks of it.
Oh man, I'm jealous. I lived in New Hampshire when I was young and have such a fondness for the entire area - the scenery and the food. How lovely that you got to spend a whole month there. Welcome back!
