I missed National Ceviche Day on June 28. What the heck was I doing that was more important than writing about ceviche?!? I’m always on the lookout for interesting ways to prepare fish, which is why my ears perked up at a cocktail party after hearing my friend Claire talk about her global sailing adventure….
My Delicious Blog is One Year Old!
It’s hard to believe that it has been one year since I launched My Delicious Blog! When I started, I had no idea where it would go, if anyone would even subscribe/follow me on social media, or if I’d be able to come up with new content regularly. But here we are, one year later…
Ikan Bakar (aka “Burned Fish”)
I love to learn how my circle of foodie friends is preparing fresh fish, which is why I was excited to read my friend Danielle’s recent post on her beautiful blog Suwannee Rose. Danielle grew up in Florida so she’s no stranger to fishing and cooking with all the beautiful produce that grows in her own…
Ahi Tacos w/Cuke-Mango Salsa & Wasabi-Cilantro Sauce
Remember the movie “Mystic Pizza” with Julia Roberts? It came out in the late 1980s and took place in Mystic, Connecticut. It’s the story of three young women who work in a pizza place in a fishing town where the main industry is lobstering. I love the scene in which Julia Roberts’ character opens her…
Lettuce-Wrapped Fish Tacos
When it comes to tacos (you know, the ones with seasoned ground beef, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and a tasty sauce), I could eat them all day long, and I’m sure I’m not alone. As a matter of fact, my favorite comedian Jim Gaffigan once tweeted “There should be more awards for eating tacos.” Right on,…
Baked Tomatoes with Basil Pesto
I remember the first time I ate a stuffed tomato. . . I was dating my (now) husband and he was making dinner at his tiny apartment on the beach. What a place! Everything in his kitchen was miniature-sized. The stove was a vintage unit with tiny burners and its oven was a quarter of…
Heirloom Tomato Galette
As a kid in Massachusetts, my family had a beautiful garden filled with string beans, zucchini, yellow squash, potatoes, carrots and tomatoes, and every summer we got our fill of tomatoes, when they all seemed to ripen at the same time! When a tomato is ripe, sun-warmed and fresh-picked, there’s nothing better. Am I right?!?…
Fresh Blueberry & Watermelon Salsa
Follow my blog with Bloglovin There are many fruits that work well in sweet AND savory dishes. In the case of blueberries, they can be a little challenging when it comes to the savory side, but all they need is a little creativity. Blueberries can be paired successfully with obvious flavors like lemon and mint,…
Sausage Waffles with Blueberries
Waffles. Don’t you just love saying that word? I do. It makes me happy. Not only do I love to say it, but I also love to eat them. . .homemade waffles, that is. My go-to recipe comes straight from my grandmother’s recipe box — one that she hand-wrote vs. the many she typed on…
Spicy Tuna Ceviche
Ceviche is simply a beautiful word for raw fish that’s been ‘cured’ in citrus juices and flavored with any number of ingredients. I must admit, before my fishing lifestyle that started soon after I met my (now) husband, it was a dish I wouldn’t consider ordering or making. It’s an acquired texture, but one that…
Blackened Yellowfin Tuna
Recently, some friends hosted a birthday dinner on the beach for me and my hubby. . .it seems that the both of us have magically hit the mid-century mark, so it was a good reason to celebrate! We enjoyed a gorgeous Florida Spring evening – beautiful sunset, cool breeze, white sand and delicious food and…
Fish with Agrodolce Blueberry Sauce
Fish and blueberries. Not really a combo that comes to mind when you’re thinking about dinner, right? Well, in my quest to incorporate fresh blueberries into a fish dish, I was determined to find out if anyone had ever done it. I thought I was coming up with something pretty unique, only to find there…
