Truth be told, I think we all just need to agree that bathing suit season is overrated [I-will-sit-on-the-beach-in-sweats, thankyouverymuch. #trendsetter]. But you know what’s not overrated?

Grilled Cedar Planked Salmon with Asian Glaze
Ya’ll, it’s *almost* officially grilling season, and the sous chef, for one, is THRILLED. Is it because there are fewer dishes to be washed? Probably.

Creamy Lobster Bisque with Sherry and Thyme
Lobster bisque is one of my absolute FAVORITE things to devour. If it’s on the menu, I order it. And naturally compare, judge, and pretend as if I’m the arbiter for all lobster bisques that have ever lived. Totally legit, yeah? I clearly have an incurable obsession with soup [exhibits A, B, and C +…
Spicy Shrimp with an Avocado-Cilantro Dipping Sauce
This is basically a summer shrimp cocktail. And it’s a perfect combination: spicy shrimp with a cool, avocado dipping sauce that discernibly tastes like heaven. The end. Okay, okay – though that sums it up to a tee, this dipping sauce deserves a bit more of a shout out. So the sous chef and I shamelessly…
