When I think of America, one of the many things that spring to mind are the cheese biscuits from Red Lobster. These make a wonderful accompaniment to your BBQ. Simple to make. Eat them hot but believe me when I say they won’t last long on the dinner table!
Pulled Pork
An American tribute. Back in the day before kids, Daniel and I travelled a fair amount. Our biggest trip was in 2012 in a RV where we drove from Key West in the Florida Keys to New Jersey. This was a massive RV and slept 6 people which we hired for $1 a day to…
Lemon Crinkle Cookies

Mini Pecan Pies
American inspired. The first time I had pecans was when one of our Workawayers (Andrea from North Carolina) made Pecan Crisp for dessert. I haven’t made that myself but will one day – it was truly delicious. A very typical American dessert is pecan pie that is commonly served during Thanksgiving. However, these mini pecan…

She also used it to make a creamy sauce with green beans. I personally love dill with seafood. That’s why…
