My Great Grandmother's Ham Croquettes
These tasty ham croquettes are made with diced ham, covered in bread crumbs, and baked. I don't know how this recipe came to be, but we know my great-grandmother made them like this. After shaping them, you can put cheese or anything you want into the middle for a filling.
The Best Post-Workout Shake
This is the best post-workout shake. It's delicious, nutritious, and filling — a perfect drink after a hard workout at the gym. I've been drinking it every morning for years after I finish my workout around 8 am, and I stay full until 11:30 am!
Garlic Butter Smoked Shrimp
This smoked shrimp is one of the quickest meals you can make in your smoker. It's ready in just 30 minutes. These shrimp are lightly seasoned to let the smoke flavor shine, but add more seasoning if desired. Because of the short smoke time, feel free to use a stronger-flavored wood such as hickory or mesquite. Serve with cheesy grits, rice, atop a salad, or as an appetizer with a remoulade sauce.
