I have had a giant can of chickpeas sitting in the cupboard for at least 6 months since I went crazy in the canned food section of Smart & Final. It worked out because I also have been meaning to try out this recipe from Food Network Magazine! This is a really simple one to [...]

I am sitting here eating my smushed and bruised banana, wishing I could be eating dinner last night again. It was nothing special and I hadn’t planned to write about it (so no pics, sad face), but it was SO good and SO simple, I thought maybe I ought to share. What you need: yukon [...]

Posted in garlic, Seafood, Uncategorized, Vegetables on March 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Last night I made this meal from a Food Network Magazine recipe (low-cal!) and from a recipe I got from my friend’s food blog. It was all delicious, and will both definitely be new regulars. I also bought and prepared (instant) grits for the first time ever. I have only eaten grits a handful of [...]
Pan fried grey sole

I picked up some fresh grey sole fillets from Whole Foods the other day in an effort to introduce more seafood into my diet (I don’t really eat seafood unless I order it from a restaurant.. I am NOT good at cooking it). This recipe is easy (but a bit unhealthy) and delicious. Batter: 1 [...]

This is a staple at Chinese restaurants and it’s incredibly easy (and much cheaper) to make at home. Diced ginger Diced scallions Minced garlic Seafood broth (I used chicken broth) Salt & pepper So technically, you’re supposed to coat the lobster with flour and fry it a bit in some oil.

Scallops in white sauce with pasta

Note – you can keep the roux thick & add less milk/cream & stock to make this into a chowder but I opted for a pasta sauce instead. I love my carbs! Roux: Flour Butter Be sure not to burn the flour!!! FYI – a roux is a thickening agent. You should be using equal [...]
Fish Tacos

Taco seasoning: Chili powder Oregano Salt & pepper Cumin I marinated cubed white fish in the taco seasoning about 1/2 hour before I started cooking. I also squeezed a LITTLE bit of fresh lemon juice into this mixture. Be sure not to add too much–you don’t want tartare! Just pan-fry this in some olive oil [...]

My friend and I had an AMAZING seafood stew when we were in Barcelona and I wanted to make something similar for him when he came to visit in NYC. This dish sounds fancy and all but it’s SO simple. I put it all in my slow cooker, too! Bonus points for convenience! The thing [...]
Summer seafood dinner

This dinner was my BABY. I spent an entire week researching and thinking about what to cook. First entree: Mexican grilled corn salad with scallops (Recipe: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/grilled-scallops-with-mexican-corn-salad and a note: I didn’t have some of the spices and I didn’t use mayonnaise or cheese; it was still delicious) We paired this with a really good [...]
