These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.
Enjoy!

Lobster Rolls

Lobster isn't always accessible, so we used imitation crab meat, and it was really good. Now that we live in Florida, we'll have to try it with real crab...and lobster! :)
Definitely don't skip toasting the buns ~ the buttery crunch is scrumptious!
