Sugar Snap Pea Shrimp and Quinoa Stir Fry

My snap peas are in full flush now and I pick handfuls each day. Sugar Snap Peas are one of the easiest and cleanest veggies to grow. Peas like it cool and wet so spring is the perfect time to plant them. I planted mine back in early March and the vines have grown to [...]

Salmon with Quinoa Feta and Spinach

April 8, 2013

When you write your own recipes, you have to not only think about ingredients, measurements, but titles. I really wanted to call this one the Superfood Bonanza Bowl, but at the last minute went with a more conservative title. I have made this Salmon with Quinoa Feta and Spinach, so many times since I wrote [...]

Langostino Ceviche

February 18, 2013

The first time I had ceviche was in Cabo San Luca Mexico years ago. My boys were little buggers full of piss and vinegar. My husband and two friends decided to go deep-sea fishing and were brave enough to take our boys along. On their adventure at sea they caught a Maco shark. Now my [...]

Tuna Lemon-Aioli Bruschetta

August 24, 2012

Do you ever look at a dish you order in a restaurant and think that it would be too much trouble to recreate? I do it. If it looks like the work won’t be worth the reward I turn a cold shoulder to the dish and move on. I saw this dish at one of [...]

Salmon and Lentils with Herb-Mustard Butter

August 1, 2012

I went on a 26 mile bike ride with my friend Tami in 90 degree heat, and we finished up at 4:00 p.m. To say I was wiped out would be an understatement. After I got home, took a quick shower and guzzled a gallon water, I had to start up dinner. Usually trying out [...]

Shrimp Salad

July 13, 2012

This is a Spanish salad called Escabeche (which means pickled), but telling you to make pickled shrimp just sounds gross, so we will stick with the name shrimp salad! Nothing about this is gross, it is GOOD! You need at least 12 hours for this to marinate. I think it would make a great [...]
