Caramelized Wild Salmon with Veggies & Brown Rice
Love salmon? I think this recipe will just about do it for ya. I usually bake salmon in the oven, fillet-style, but this time wanted to try something different that could be served atop some brown rice and simple veggies. Caramelized Wild Salmon with Veggies and Brown Rice serves 2-3 2/3 lb wild salmon fillet, … Continue reading
Sugar Snap Peas and Shrimp with Thai Basil
This past weekend, I was able to make it over to the Asian supermarket in Houston and buy some more pantry staples. Salt and pepper only get you so far in your kitchen, after all. 🙂 I picked up some ginger, a variety of cooking sauces, herbs, noodles, and rice paper rolls to make our … Continue reading
Guest Post: Ahi Tuna Wraps
I’m introducing you all to my good friend, “Pheobes.” She loves to cook, and I seriously owe her for all the dinners she’s made me the past gazillion years. Here, her inspiration for this dish was Hawaiian poke (pronounced “po-kay”). She took the idea of poke (meaning “small, cut pieces”), sprinkled on a little Vietnamese … Continue reading
Tamarind Noodles with Kaffir Lime Shrimp
When I set out to make these noodles, I didn’t intend to make a pad thai recipe. I wanted to make a lightly sauteed rice noodle dish that had big tamarind oomph, with no heavy sauciness, so this is what I came up with. I had a block of tamarind in my fridge, some rice … Continue reading
Steamed Tilapia with Ginger and Green Onion
Tilapia is a fish that is light with a mild flavor. You can prepare it a number of ways, and steaming is an excellent way to cut the fat down while ensuring full moisture and tenderness in the fish. Adding aromatics such as ginger root and green onions lends some good flavor without overpowering your … Continue reading

They came bearing gifts, of which included a bag of goodies from Trader Joe’s, my favorite store for gourmet treats. In my stash included a bag of whole-wheat penne pasta and a bag of dried mushroom medley. … Continue reading
Dry-Rub Salmon with Asparagus Spears
Salmon is probably the easiest fish to make a meal out of; you can bake it, roast it, pan-fry it, or eat it raw in the form of sushi. I love how buttery the meat tastes, yet you know that the oil from the fish is loaded with some good omega-3 fats. And if you … Continue reading

You say it’s your birthday, eh?
No matter how much hubby is trying not to make a big deal out of his birthday, I’m going to go all-out anyways for a mid-week dinner, sparkly candles and all! I love any reason to celebrate, because it means making something out of the ordinary and, superficially, I like to make pretty little things. … Continue reading
Tombo Ahi Fish and Sweet Potato Chips
This ain’t no regular fish and chips, my dears! I hope I don’t make too many enemies, but regular fish and chips are not something I’d order in a restaurant – I’m not akin to having a fully-fried meal. My arteries stutter! It makes me feel like I’ll resort back to high school and get … Continue reading
