One Pot Lemon Shrimp Orzo

March 22, 2026 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I love an easy one-pot pasta dish – easy to make and clean up but full of flavor and interest. I add a slightly Greek twist here, with lemon, dill and feta on a base of orzo with some lovely juicy shrimp in the mix. This is a less than 30 minute weeknight meal but is unique and pretty enough for company. This has the bright, fresh flavor of Spring about to spring, so it’s … [Read more...] about One Pot Lemon Shrimp Orzo

Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)

March 8, 2026 by The Runaway Spoon 1 Comment

I am reposting an old St. Patrick's Day recipe that's become a firm favorite on the site throughout the year - for good reason! I absolutely discovered this dish because of the name. I first saw it on a pub menu in London and had to ask. After it was described, my dining companion switched his order to it and we both relished bites. But I had to know where the name came … [Read more...] about Dublin Lawyer (Shrimp in Irish Whiskey Cream Sauce)

Street Corn Chicken Enchiladas

February 22, 2026 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

I am going to be honest and say that this is one of my favorite recipes I have developed. It is so layered and flavored, and everyone I have served it to has raved, and asked for the recipe. And I have made it many times, for family and friends. But I haven’t posted it before, because my photography skills just don’t do it justice. Some foods, like casseroles, are just hard to … [Read more...] about Street Corn Chicken Enchiladas

Weeknight Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Sauce

September 21, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

As a recipe developer, I sometimes get overwhelmed with the thought that every recipe must be new and unique and dynamic and multi-layered. I am starting to let go of some of that drive. Because cooking shouldn’t always be a project (though I do love the occasional kitchen project). Sometimes, you just want a really lovely dish to gather round but need a little direction, or a … [Read more...] about Weeknight Pork Tenderloin with Dijon Sauce

Barbecue Chicken Platter Salad

September 7, 2025 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

A platter salad meal is just the thing for these in between times. Not the full heat of summer, but not the cool kiss of fall either. The bulk of the summer fresh produce is fading but the winter squashes and apples aren’t quite here. Not quite time for soups and stews. And it tends to be the best time of year for eating outside, as the days get a little bit fresher. A big, … [Read more...] about Barbecue Chicken Platter Salad

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
