I can remember the first time I ever tried shellfish. My grandma always bought the holiday platters with shrimp and cocktail sauce to serve at our family gathering on Christmas Eve. In my childhood curiosity I wanted to try one so badly, but I was nervous because my dad was allergic to all forms ofContinue reading “Garlicky Grilled Shrimp”

Fish Tacos
All types of tacos are delicious, but when given the choice, fish or seafood tacos are always the winner in my opinion. When creating my own fish tacos, I use bluegill or crappie fillets because I live in lake country, and I have a friend that loves to fish and keeps my freezer stocked allContinue reading “Fish Tacos”
Chipotle Lime Surf and Turf
I love a good steak dinner, but I’ve only recently begun to branch out from the typical steak and potatoes combo. My recent vacation to Mexico opened my eyes to the numerous different flavor combinations that can be used to enhance a tenderloin though. For example, our first night there we had a tenderloin thatContinue reading “Chipotle Lime Surf and Turf”

As summer approaches, I’m ready to start utilizing my grill again. There’s nothing quite like grilling on a nice, warm, sunny day, and my goal for this summer is to focus on fish and seafood. I truly am trying to eat lighter and healthier this year, and I know that fish and seafood have aContinue reading “Grilled Crappie”
Salmon Alfredo
I know I already posted a salmon recipe recently, but what can I say? Now that I’ve tried this meat, I’m using it all the time. Recently, I got to thinking about pasta, and I figured that people put chicken and shrimp in Alfredo all the time, so why not use salmon? I baked theContinue reading “Salmon Alfredo”

While most people get pan fish on Fridays, one of my favorite items to order wasContinue reading “Crunchy Parmesan Shrimp”
Crab Rangoons
After I was diagnosed with fructose intolerance, my family started focusing more on using fresh and local ingredients. This meant that when summertime rolled around we would make a weekly event of going to the local farmer’s market. In my opinion, the best part of this excursion was that my mom and I would alwaysContinue reading “Crab Rangoons”
Parmesan Garlic Oysters – Shucked and Grilled
Within the last year, one of the greatest foods that I have tried for the first time is oysters. Let’s face it, one of the unfortunate aspects of living in the Midwest is a lack of seafood in the area. Although, occasionally fancier restaurants will have oysters on the menu. I had always wanted toContinue reading “Parmesan Garlic Oysters – Shucked and Grilled”
Baked Bluegill
It’s summer, and people are out fishing on the lake like crazy. This means the ever popular Friday Night Fish Fry is more popular than ever. I love a good fish fry, but occasionally I aim towards the healthier side of life. This means the fish should be baked instead. However, the problem with bakingContinue reading “Baked Bluegill”
