My take on the Ponchartrain sauce served at a popular seafood restaurant chain in my town. Although I prefer snapper, it may be ladled over any grilled, blackened, steamed, or pan fried fish. Very elegant and easy! Great idea for a romantic candlelight dinner for two.

Potato Waffles
These savory potato waffles are a quick and delicious way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. You will need a waffle iron. These are basically potato pancakes (a.k.a. latkes) but without all the greasy clean-up and calories from pan-frying. I usually serve them with fish or chicken and sautéed apples.
Cranberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Frosting
This recipe makes light, tender cranberry cupcakes with a subtle hint of orange, topped with a creamy, buttery white chocolate frosting—delicious! The frosting generously frosts at least 16 cupcakes, so you may want to halve the recipe.
Fresh Sweet Corn Fritters
Unbelievably light, these fritters are best with fresh sweet corn. Great for breakfast and with ham or ribs. Serve with maple syrup. Easy to make too! My husband loves these and anticipates corn season.
