Three Onion Wild Tuna Fish Salad

Three Onion Wild Tuna Fish Salad

I think tuna fish is often overlooked, forgotten or people are fearful to eat it.  It’s a great meal or snack packed with 14 grams of protein and only 100 calories per 2 ounces.  I know there are concerns of mercury levels in tuna.  There is a lot of information out there and I suggest [...]

Pesto Shrimp on Polenta Portobellos

One thing I love about a shrimp dinner is it is fast and easy clean up.  Two things that make me and my husband (clean up duty) very happy.  This what we needed last night.  So I veered off the menu plan and started grabbing things out of the refrigerator, pantry and out to my [...]

Chilean Sea Bass with Spinach and Mushrooms

Mediterranean Tuna Pasta with Artichokes

Mediterranean Tuna Pasta with Artichokes

This recipe has been hiding out on the margins of my blog.  I’ve not made it in some time and I had forgotten how great this meal is.  It’s salty and sweet with the pancetta, tangy with the caperberries and lemon and crunchy with the pine nuts.  It has great mouth feel and taste so [...]

Buffalo Shrimp, No Joke

Ok so I’m a little obsessed with buffalo wing sauce.  I love it.  I like to use it in many dishes because I can get pretty bored eating buffalo chicken wings all the time.  Besides, the chicken skin can be a little fattening if eaten too often.  I was craving the sauce and I had [...]

Gluten Free Crab Cakes, Coleslaw, and Old Bay Potato Wedges

Gluten Free Crab Cakes, Coleslaw, and Old Bay Potato Wedges

I love crab cakes but Sodium Acid Pyroposphates (SAPP) in canned crab does not love me.  This is what you find in canned crab like Phillip’s that is added to prevent the formation of struvite crystals.  Those crystals are harmless, they just look like ground glass and tend to freak people out.  So in order [...]

Seafood Stir-fry On A Budget?

Seafood Stir-fry On A Budget?

As we sat down to dinner last night my husband pointed out this was an expensive dinner.  He didn’t know my secret. Yes there were scallops, shrimp and lobster but I had not spent a fortune on them and the lobster had been in the freezer for months just waiting for the perfect recipe.  The [...]

Swicy Shrimp & Mango, Papaya Corn Salsa- Valentine Meal

I love meals that I can pull together in 15-30 minutes.  I don’t know about you but some nights I’m either so hungry if I wait for an involved dinner I’ll be eating everything else in the kitchen, or I just don’t have a lot of time to cook.  Either way shrimp is a great [...]

Cioppino

Cioppino

This is not going to be one of those 15 minute meals but it is totally worth the effort.  When I make this meal the I double the recipe for everything but the seafood.  After our first serving and all the fish and such are removed I freeze the stock so my next Cioppino dinner [...]

Gluten Free Frito Fish

I’m sure this sounds even crazier than Frito Chicken Nuggets.  Well it may be but my 15 year old ate it all and asked for more.  He’s not a fan of “real” food so eating fish that is not in long rectangles is something he really doesn’t like to do.  I was making the Macadamia [...]
