What Are Your Favorite Spring Recipes? Here Are a Few to Try This Season!

April 16, 2015 by

As the days get longer and springtime (finally!) rolls around, you likely start to crave lighter meals made with bright, fresh ingredients. Retire your usual favorite spring recipes in favor of something new and exciting with these delicious dishes from around the web.

Grilled Artichokes [oprah.com]
Create a tasty side dish for chicken, steak, or fish with Oprah’s recipe for flavorful grilled artichokes. Grilling these layered veggies on a stovetop grill gives them a bit of a blackened taste, and the homemade dipping sauce that goes with them adds even more flavor.

Sautéed Fiddlehead Ferns [localfoods.about.com]
Fiddlehead ferns come into season during the spring, which makes this dish very fresh and delicious. This recipe also takes just 10 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook, so it makes quite a quick last-minute side dish on busy weeknights.

Risotto With Prosciutto and Peas [realsimple.com]
If you’re looking for something heartier and more filling, this rich, creamy risotto recipe is the perfect choice come spring. Thin prosciutto adds a salty taste, while the sweet spring peas make it perfect for warmer weather. Cook the risotto in white wine and chicken broth to add a deep, complex flavor throughout, then serve it with your favorite grilled meats or as an entree with a fresh salad.

See Professional Products and Extravagant Broadway Costumes at The Wick

April 9, 2015 by

To say The Wick Theatre & Costume Museum's lobby is striking would be a great understatement. A photo snapped by one guest and Yelp reviewer reveals extravagant chandeliers, plush sofas and chairs, and scarlet carpet. A colorful mural overlooks the lobby, awash in the natural light that streams through windows. Before productions, visitors are welcome to come and relax amid the opulence.

The atmosphere is just a part of what make The Wick so special, though. Each season it puts on professional productions that, according to guests, are always well done. Current and upcoming productions include the musical Mame, a limited run of The Rat Pack is Back in honor of New Year's, and even Oklahoma! when April rolls around.

The theater is also part museum, and you'll find costumes from more than 35 different Broadway productions. Considering that the costumes' net worth runs somewhere around 20 million dollars, you'll probably want to check them out if you visit The Wick.

Craving Adventure? Check Out These National Parks in South Florida

March 5, 2015 by

Southern Florida is home to some of the few tropical national parks in the country. Travel to one or both of these neighboring areas to enjoy all the beauty they have to offer.

Big Cypress National Preserve
Big Cypress National Preserve lies 45 miles west of Miami and neighbors the Florida Everglades. This tropical national preserve is home to the Big Cypress Swamp, a truly unique natural environment. Take an airboat tour through the trails of the swamp to spot unique vegetation and wildlife, or go off-roading on an airboat of your own. If you prefer something a bit more relaxing, the preserve also offers a wide variety of traditional park activities like camping, hiking, and canoeing.

Everglades National Park
Everglades National Park accounts for 20% of the Florida Everglades. It was the first national park established to protect a complex ecosystem, and it's home to many endangered species like the manatee and the Florida panther. Visit the park year-round to enjoy activities like canoeing, fishing, and hiking, or spot an alligator along one of the airboat tours. The park, which is the third largest in the contiguous US, offers a wide array of activities that are suitable to nearly anyone.

Fresh Seafood Is Served With a View at Two Georges Waterfront Grille

February 26, 2015 by

Locals have been eating at Two Georges Waterfront Grille for more than 50 years, thanks in part to the eatery's reputation for serving fresh seafood. Two Georges's location doesn't hurt, either, as it's perched right on the intracoastal waterway, and regulars recommend requesting a table on the waterfront deck where you can enjoy the breeze as you watch the boats go by.

House specials include seared Ahi tuna rolled in toasted sesame seeds and served rare with wasabi and pickled ginger, as well as broiled sea scallops with a baked potato. Of course, as with any seafood restaurant located right on the water, it's always a good idea to pay close attention to the daily chef specials, which likely include the very freshest items. Landlubbers are advised to enjoy the barbecued baby back ribs, which arrive with coleslaw and pasta salad.
