Call of the Ocean – Vacation Time
Sometimes I just NEED the beach.
Seeing the coast relaxes my mind and heals my soul. There’s just something about it – something calming about the ocean.
In our area, most people we know go to the same beach – Destin, Orange, Rosemary – somewhere around the corridor of 30A. Many of our friends are drawn back to the same place year after year – and it becomes a tradition and a way to connect with extended family and friends.
I grew up going to those same beaches, in the summers and around Easter. We enjoyed it and made cherished memories with our family. As a college student, we visited Florida beaches and had a great time with friends.
Get Your Boil On with Frogmore Stew: Simple and Fabulous
There’s something magical about spending quality time with your family at the beach. Four generations together, time in the sun & sand, laughter that echoes through the salty air, all create memories that last a lifetime. And for our family, one cherished tradition adds extra flavor to our beach getaways. Without fail, Frogmore Stew always makes its way to our table.
This dish originated on St Helena’s Island in South Carolina, in a small Gullah-Geechee fishing community named Frogmore, between Hilton Head and Beaufort. We call it Frogmore Stew, but it is also referred to as Beaufort Stew, Low-Country Boil or Tidewater Stew. No matter what name you give it, one thing remains constant—it’s the embodiment of southern coastal deliciousness.
