Quick Broiled Barramundi Fillets with Puttanesca Sauce
As I’ve spent the last few months cooking with Barramundi, I’ve seen just how versatile it really is. I love that it is sustainably farmed using revolutionary aquaculture practices. I’ve used Barramundi in several different ways, using flavors of different cuisines from around the globe. All of them have been delicious. A few weeks ago […]
Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie
A flavorful, veggie-filled vegetarian shepherd’s pie topped with garlic herb mashed potatoes. Gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. Have I already told you how much I love the month of March? I know there are some who aren’t big fans. The weather is a little bipolar – windy and cold one day, warm and sunny the next. […]
Slow Cooker Tomato Sauce with Fennel
I really relied on my slow cooker to get me through the winter. I use it almost every day to cook beans and other things. It’s easy for me to accidentally forget to make dinner for my family when I’m working like crazy. Isn’t that ironic? So much food around all the time for various […]
Vegan Risotto with Lemon and Asparagus
Whip up a healthy dinner – this vegan risotto with lemon and asparagus is flavorful and easy to make. Last week I learned how to make asparagus risotto. I have made risotto before, but I was never quite sure I was doing it correctly. Watching cooking shows and reading cookbooks helped, but not as much […]
Slow Cooker Red Lentil Dal Recipe
It’s no secret among people who know me that my very favorite cuisine in the world is Indian, with Thai being a close second, and Mexican coming in third. I will always and forever love Indian food. I could pretty much eat it every day (I almost do in some form or another) and never […]
Heart Healthy Salad with Baked Salmon
This colorful healthy salad made with citrus, avocado, and salmon is great for heart health. The days are getting longer again and I know this is February fooling me, but the weather has also warmed up a bit. The bite is gone from the chilly morning air. Oh, that makes me happy! It’s been a […]
Barramundi Thai Coconut Soup
This is a sponsored post. Thank you for supporting our sponsors so we can bring you great content and recipes. If you remember from last month, we’ve been trying out Barramundi, a farm-raised, sustainable white fish from Vietnam. We are still in love with it! When I was at the store the other day, I stocked […]
Homemade Chorizo Sausage
A few years ago when I first made my black bean and chorizo chili, I decided to start making homemade chorizo sausage. It was for several reasons – first being that I hadn’t found a chorizo sausage I really loved, the second was that all of the packaged chorizo I could find ended up being […]
Pork Tenderloin with Thyme-Fennel Spice Rub and Cider Cream Sauce
Pork tenderloin is incredible when prepared well. And by that, I mean it should not be the least bit overcooked, but still pink on the interior. Because it is a lean cut of meat, spice rubs and marinades are a great way to add some flavor. I’m a big fan of fennel, and when it’s […]
