Sweet & Spicy Grilled Shrimp Recipe with Marmalade Molasses Sauce

Sep 3, 2012

I fancy myself as a hardy sort of gal. You know, going for more than a day without my favorite sparkling water or only packing four pairs of shoes for a vacation. Tough girl, right? Yeah, yeah…just kidding. Truth be told, I’m more likely to run an extra mile in the rain just to feel [...]

Grilled Curry Shrimp Skewers with Grilled Onions & Red Pepper Recipe

When it comes to grilling, the passing of Memorial Day in the United States is like the ringing of the bell on Wall Street or the starter’s pistol at the beginning of a 100 meter dash. Barbecue enthusiasts set to work in a kind of charcoal-induced frenzy as though someone yelled, “Ready…set…grill!” If you’re one [...]

Baked Tilapia Recipe with Arugula Walnut Pesto & Breadcrumb Crust

Mar 26, 2012

Okay, this story doesn’t actually have anything to do with baked tilapia or arugula walnut pesto, but it was a story that needed to be told. “Aaahh-ooooo, aaahh-ooooo…” This sound drifted from our backyard nearly every day last week.

Salad Cups with Quinoa, Shrimp, Avocado & Lemon Dressing Recipe

Rice Noodle Salad with Endive, Shrimp & Soy-Ginger Dressing Recipe

Jan 9, 2012

Belgian endive, as the name suggests, was first a product of Belgium (though there are now many growers in North America). So, why the heck am I pairing it with Asian ingredients, such as rice noodles, ginger and soy sauce? Why should the Belgians get to have all the fun, I say? Endive, with its [...]
