what we’re eating

Anyone surprised that this is another pinterest recipe? I had been looking for an excuse to make a 5 pound chocolate bundt cake because well, I don’t know that it’s a good idea to have so much chocolate sitting in your house staring at you. But it is a good idea to bring 5 pounds [...]

recent eats

Holy moly, I have cooked some good things recently and have not been sharing them with you guys! Instead of writing up too many food posts, I decided to just dump them all here into one post. You guys don’t mind, right? Let’s get started. Back in July, I made some Beef Empanadas for a friend’s birthday [...]

Chicken Piccata (kinda)

Alright, I have a confession to make. That’s what blogs are for, right? Confessions? I haven’t been focusing on eating healthily lately.

They also happen to be a very inexpensive, sustainable and safe source of seafood. Not many fish these days can claim both [...]

Grilled Mahi-Mahi with Thai Coconut Sauce

Quality Seafood, why did it take me so long to make it to your fish counter?

With this new knowledge, I bought a couple pieces of mahi-mahi [...]

Jerk-Rubbed Catfish with Spicy Cilantro Slaw

I’ve been trying (once more) to incorporate a little more sustainable seafood into our diet. US Farmed Catfish is rated as a ‘best choice’ by Monterrey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch, so I figured we should add a bit of catfish into our life. And it’s pretty affordable too! Cooking Light ran a recipe section last [...]

Spicy Shrimp and Grits

I love grits. I was raised on cream of wheat, which is similar, but in my opinion, inferior to grits. I hadn’t had grits until I got to college, and then I started eating them every morning for breakfast. Some butter, some cheese, some salt and pepper. Yum. Breakfast of champions. Ha. Now, something else [...]
