We’ve been curious when walking past it a time or two, but we’re never in town early enough to go inside. I will now make a point of going in the near future.
As I was flipping through What’s Up? Annapolis magazine, I ran across [...]

We had a substantial lunch whilst watching Sunday football up at the local neighborhood watering hole. So, for dinner, we made these fun shrimp cakes and not much more. However, they can be served up as a main course alongside some corn or the fruit [...]

Ingredients
1 lb. reduced fat [...]

I think it was choosing a honey ham and using baby carrots that made the difference. The liquid smoke was also a nice touch. Throwing something in the slow cooker and forgetting [...]
