If someone said to me “I’ll pay you one million dollars to tell me your one favorite ethnic food” I’d be hard-pressed to answer, because I have two favorites — Italian and Greek. Basically, I’m putty in your hands if you give me a slab of lasagna, a bowl of baked Ziti, a plate of…

Crispy, Quinoa-Coated Fish
If you haven’t gotten on the quinoa bandwagon yet, this might be a good time to give it a try. This ancient food, sometimes called “The Mother Grain,” is actually a seed packed with protein and fiber, making it a great substitute for meat. It’s also considered gluten-free, but can sometimes carry gluten properties if…
8 Recipes for Flavored Butter
Butter adds richness and deliciousness to just about anything, right? Julia Child surely thought so, as evidenced by her statement “With enough butter, anything is good.” Yes, butter is awesome on its own, but why not jazz it up, especially for that holiday dinner where you’ll be serving your warm, homemade rolls? Flavored (a.k.a. compound)…
Delmonico Fish
Sometimes you find interesting things when you rifle through your grandmother’s old recipe box. I thought I knew about everything in there, but for some reason, never noticed a couple of cards in the ‘Fish’ section, until recently. I don’t even remember her making these dishes, but I knew that if they were in her…
Swordfish & Olive Pasta
I’ve mentioned before that I love reading food memoirs, and one of my favorites is Judith Jones’ The Tenth Muse. . .My Life in Food. In it, she captures many wonderful stories about her experiences in the culinary literary world, including all the amazing chefs she had the privilege of knowing and working with, including…
BLTF (Bacon Lettuce Tomato FISH!)
The BLT – crispy/salty bacon, cold/crunchy lettuce, juicy tomato on toasted bread (there’s no compromise here – it MUST be toasted), smothered with creamy mayonnaise. This classic sandwich is one of my favorites. The best one I ever had was in Charlotte, North Carolina. I had moved there for a job transfer and was anxious…
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,…
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…
Green Almond Sauce for Fish
I love to read food memoirs, and one that I recently pulled off my shelf is a long-time favorite. Laurie Colwin, in her “Home Cooking” memoir, shares delightful food memories and humorous tales of the evolution of her culinary prowess, including her many cooking foibles. One of my favorite quotes in her book is “One…
Fish Tacos with Kumquat, Jalapeño & Napa Slaw
Fish + Taco = Delicious. In our circle of fishing friends, fish tacos are one of our go-to recipes because they’re easy and fast, you can get creative with them, and they’re always tasty and satisfying. When I make them, I usually dust the fish with blackening seasoning then saute or grill it — two…
Fish Wellington with Herbs and Prosciutto
My husband and I work from home, so we get to share lots of meals together. And it’s usually during lunch (or sometimes even breakfast) that he asks “What are you thinking of making for dinner?” Ok. Does anyone else think it’s funny that he’s already wondering about his next meal, while enjoying his current…
Field Trip Friday – Mote Marine Aquaponics
(Field Trip Fridays capture interesting, fun, food-related and/or fishing adventures that I like to share with you.) Have you ever felt there are wonderful things happening in your community but you don’t really know much about them? To answer my burning questions about what’s happening at Mote Marine Laboratory’s Aquaculture Park, I took a field…
