Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Remember that we kicked off Fish Friday Foodies earlier this year. It's a group of seafood-loving bloggers, coordinated by Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm . We share fish and seafood recipes on the third Friday of the month.  This month, Sue of  Palatable Pastime   is  hosting. Here was her challenge to the group: " It's summertime! Let's "stick" to our resolutions of eating more fish and seafood this year! The event will use recipes for kebabs with fish or seafood of any sort, grilled, broiled, baked, ceviche, fish/shrimp balls...you name it. As long as you put a stick in it, it's good." Hmmmm...I had to think about this one for awhile and decided that I would do a riff on one of our favorite summer meals: a Low Country Seafood Boil. Heck, we don't even wait for summer; we did a Valentine's Seafood Boil a couple of years ago! We even did one indoors for my mom for Mothers' Day . And, then it occurred to m...

I was introduced to  Fire Wire  during #burgermonth. And it was, truly, love at first try. When they agreed to sponsor this event - #10DaysofTailgate - I was beyond thrilled. Here's what I'm sharing today... Keep reading for the recipe. But, first... What I loved about  Fire Wire   ... No pre-soaking! Fire Wire grilling skewers are made of 100% food grade stainless steel, so you aren't having to soak bamboo skewers to avoid splinters in your food! They're big! Fire Wire grilling skewers hold two or three times the amount of food as those bamboo skewers. I always to have leave grabbing space on a traditional skewer. These, you can load up to the end; you just grab it by the loop. Easy clean-up! They are dishwasher safe (I don't have a dishwasher, but that's cool) and have a life-time guarantee (This is very cool). What I didn't like about them...              They only come in a pack of two! ;) I need to get my ...

When I saw that Fire Wire Grilling Tools  was sponsoring #BurgerMonth, I was excited. They seemed like a cool tool. Then a box came in the mail with a set for me to try.* Surprise! Woohoo! I think I might have squealed loudly when I opened the box! It was completely unexpected, but I put them right to use. You have the chance to get a set of your very own!
