When you live on the Mason Dixon Line, you need to add some true southern dishes to your rotation. I lightened it up a bit by using part chicken stock and part fat free half n half. A quick and delicious dinner. To make this you will need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ounces of Prosciutto, chopped
1 bunch of green onions, chopped (save the tops for serving)
1 medium green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
quick-cooking grits
1.) In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the prosciutto, onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
2.) Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the white wine and let it bubble until it is mostly evaporated.
3.) In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with the chicken broth and stir until dissolved. Add the mixture to the skillet along with the half-and-half. Bring to a gentle boil and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes.
4.) I have not posted an amount for the grits as some like more grits than others look on the package and then cook the grits according to the package directions.
Down at Sweet Sue's Bakery in North Beach, MD they make the best Pecan Sandies. Unfortunately, I got the urge and I am not down at the beach. So I had to make my version of these delectable cookies. They taste even better than the Keebler version, but not quite as good as Justin's at Sweet Sue's! To make these you will need:
I found this recipe online years ago. I don't even remember who authored it. But it's our favorite salad dressing. You can also use this as a sauce for barbequed Chicken, fish or steaks. I have even used it as a vegetable dip. Incredibly delicious! 
2 tablespoons of sugar or Stevia equivalent
1.) Add all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Using a hand blender, mix everything until well incorporated (approx. 30 seconds). If mixing by hand, whisk everything until fully incorporated. 
This is an easy and delicious recipe for weeknight pork chops. This dish comes together quickly, truly making it a midweek keeper. I use dried herbs for the ease of rubbing the chops. To make this recipe you will need:
2 tablespoon olive oil1 medium onion thinly sliced
2.) Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides. Remove the chops from the skillet.
3.) Add the onions and cook until the onions are tender. Add the wine and let it absorb into the onions. Add the apple and cook for 5 minutes.
What's not to love? Grilled chicken, ham, cheese, tomato, avocado? All the best flavors. About the Rosa Maria seasoning. I buy the Dean Jacobs blend from Amazon or from a gourmet store. You can make it yourself by mixing together some rosemary, garlic, parsley, thyme, oregano and black pepper. To make this you will need:
1 large tomato sliced
3.) Towards the last few minutes of cooking the breasts, top each breast with two tomato slices, 2 slices of ham and the pepper jack cheese. Once the cheese has melted remove from the grill. Top each with the sliced avocado and serve.
