• Shrimp Tapas
  on Sep 13, 2015
  One of my favorite weekend "dinners" is Ann's (Thibeault's Table) Shrimp Tapas. It's a meal that comes together very quickly, especially if you purchase "easy peel shrimp", shrimp that is already headed and deveined. I picked up a loaf of French brea...

  on Jan 9, 2014
  Several of my fellow bloggers are doing, or have done, their top ten posts of 2013. Well, seeing how how 2013 was a slow year for All That Splatters, I thought I would come up with the all-time top ten posts of ATS (or what I thought were the top ten...
• Pecan Pie
  on Jan 4, 2014 in Desserts Nuts Pies
  I'm not ready to start my resolution of healthy eating just yet. Pecan pie is my all-time favorite pie, and this recipe is my all-time favorite recipe for pecan pie. The filling is not syrupy but "stands up" on its own. It's super easy though super d...

  on Mar 11, 2012 in Seafood
  Simple, tasty dishes are a favorite of mine these days. The days of wanting to try my hand at puff pastry from scratch and recipes utilizing every pot and pan in the kitchen, 42 ingredients, and 2-1/2 days of prep time no longer hold the same sheen t...
• Kale, Cranberry & Quinoa Salad
  on Mar 4, 2012 in V.egetables Grains Salads
  In my efforts to eat healthier and explore healthier food options, I came across this recipe. I had heard of quinoa (say keen-wa) before, I'd even bought some that had been sitting in my pantry for quite a while, but I had never cooked it or eaten it...
