Hi Reader - If dinner has been feeling a little...meh lately, you're not alone. We just got back from a long weekend in Savannah where every meal was so good, and now I'm in that weird post-trip phase where I'm inspired by all the food we ate...but somehow totally uninspired in my own kitchen.

And if you want...
