Guys, you know I love a good Asian dish.  And you know that my husband is a bit meh about that whole deal-he’s an Italian food junkie.  But these salmon and rice bowls?  His fave.   Totally worthy of your meal rotation, promise!

The coconut rice is a total winner around our home.. .my kids adore it and it pairs wonderfully with basically any protein.  So I started these bowls with a base of that sweet, perfectly cooked rice.   Continue reading

Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

Happy Tuesday, friends!  Nothing like a little healthy ditty like this Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta to get things moving…and so  quick, to boot!

Again, here, I hail the ripe tomato.  I just can’t stop.  They are so lovely and sweet right now and I want to utilize them in any way I am able before they are no more….what a sad day that will be.

This is such a simple recipe that includes a whole lot of freshness.  The sweet, acidic tomatoes and white wine make just the most perfect, bright, simple sauce for the shrimp; and you better grab some crusty bread for sopping up all of that juice, its a must.   Continue reading

How was the weekend?  It’s officially spring, friends..congratulations..you’ve made it!  I’m feeling awfully grateful that ‘technical’ winter is behind us…now if we could just get these temps (and random bouts of snow) out of the equation.

So with spring comes lighter food, which I am feeling so ready for.  You know I’m all about soups, stews and gratins but there comes a point in time when a change of food is in order…and around here our changes in food tend to come and go with the seasons. Continue reading

Coconut Curry Shrimp + Noodle Soup

I love a good soup that requires a couple of different utensils.  Because that usually means I get a couple of different experiences out of eating the dish.   Continue reading

Open Faced Roasted Salmon Salad Sandwich

I once wrote an article about the positives of having a traveling husband.  And I totally forgot to include a very important perk.

When your husband travels, particularly to Seattle, he feels terribly bad that you are missing out on all the ‘fun’ so he has fresh fish from Pike Place Market sent home for you.  That Nickyboy.  He’s a total winner.  Continue reading

I sit here with the intent of being a good friend.   I really do.  I want to know how your holidays were.  I want to know about your resolutions.  The wonderful things you ate.  How much you {hopefully} enjoyed a little time off.  I do.  But I can’t.

I can’t possibly sit here with this little gem dangling over my head and write, even think, about anything else.  This gem I write of is called Shrimp and Cauliflower ‘Grits’ you guys.  And I have got to get over it.  It’s becoming a problem.

Let’s just get right down to it.   Continue reading

Crispy Oven Fish Sticks with Dill Yogurt Sauce

Let’s just get right to it.  I’m not a cod girl.  Never have been, never will be.  It just doesn’t do much for me.  Unless its battered.  And deep fried.  And doused in a lip puckering dunking sauce of deliciousness.  Then I’m a cod girl.

So thats what I’ve done here with this recipe.  I’ve ‘battered’ it.  And ‘deep fried’ it.  And doused it in a lip puckering dunking sauce of deliciousness.  Without truly battering it.  And without deep frying it.  Shh…my family has no idea! Continue reading
