Cornmeal Crusted Catfish with Mango Salsa
I’m obsessed with my southwestern-style cookbook here lately. I feel like it’s my go-to book when I’m having mental blockage on recipe-making. Last night I decided to adapt one recipe that I’ve been wanting to make ever since I picked up this amazing cookbook. In their recipe, they used roughy. I don’t know how you […]
Chipotle, Mango Chicken Salad
Well it’s Sunday. How was everyone’s weekend?! Ours just flew by way too fast. Way. Too. Fast. It was beautiful here. Perfect 75-80 degree F weather. You can’t get much better than that. We unfortunately have snow in the forecast for Wednesday…right before my sister arrives for a visit. I’m sure she will just LOVE […]
Crispy Duck Salad with a Dried Cherry Compote
We’ve been on quite a duck kick lately. Not that I’m complaining. It’s just so freaking good. We can’t get enough of it. What’s so great about duck, is that it isn’t terribly expensive, so when we see it, we have to buy it. When we roast a duck, we usually incorporate it into a […]
Smoked Salmon and Pesto Pizza
So I’m currently writing this post from the comfort of the backseat of a rental car driving on the Western slope of the Rockies and into Utah. It’s been fun really. We have experienced almost every type of weather you can imagine. From snow, to rain, to sun and more…Well I guess we have yet […]
Ramen Noodle Soup
That’s right, it snowed. Well, it’s snowing. Still snowing. At this point, I don’t think it’s ever going to stop. Oh, and it was almost 70 degrees yesterday. Crazy! We all knew it was coming. How bad it would be? We still have yet to know because it’s STILL snowing. You all know that I […]
Duck Fried Rice … with a Sunny Side Up Egg!
Yes, we are skipping the addition of “scrambled” eggs for this fried rice recipe and just dumping an egg on top at the end. Here is why…there is nothing I hate more in this world than a crusty, tough piece of scrambled egg. I think that it’s quite possible that I’ve only ever had fried […]
Melon and Prosciutto Salad
Few things go better together than prosciutto and fruit, especially melon. Now, I know that it is yet to be “melon season,” but I just couldn’t help myself. The sweet and salty combination was calling my name, and I’m not talking about chocolate covered pretzels. Although, that does sound incredible right now. Hmmmm, maybe after […]
Rosemary and Pecorino Butter Crackers
Let’s just say I have tried to make crackers before, and I’ve been completely unsuccessful. I actually think I may have burned a batch at one point. I decided to give it another go. I was a bit more successful this time around. This time I decided to incorporate some more butter and cheese and […]
Striped Bass with Mango Salsa and White Wine Reduction
Zach and I knew that we wanted fish last night, but that was about all that we knew. We played things a little differently yesterday and decided to just wing it: we would figure out what we were making once we got to the grocery store. The first step was to find the perfect filets. […]
