I find Mexican food comforting in these trying times. It's not so much the days are hard to get through, but any time I feel super stressed out or have had a bad day--Mexican food is there to cure my blues. Usually I would dive head first into a pile of salt tortilla chips and… Continue reading Fish Taco Salad with Shrimp & Avocado Salsa

Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Around 7 o'clock every morning, long after my coffee for the night has worn off, I get this surge of energy. I don't know where it comes from or why, but I get giddy and excitable and extremely hyper. It could be because all of my energy is released during the morning newscast, and I'm… Continue reading Sheet Pan Shrimp Fajitas
Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
Is there anything better than a bowl full of food? Or anything better than a bowl? I'm talking a complete meal that fits snugly inside a bowl. A meal rounded out with a protein, some grains, and some delicious veg. Seriously, I need an answer to this question. I'm struggling to find a dinner more… Continue reading Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
Chili Lime Catfish & Corn Tacos
Oklahoma City is blessed to have such a diverse cuisine range in its restaurants. We have a little bit of everything here; Southern homecooking, Korean, Thai, Indian, even African food. But one of the shining stars in the food establishment engrained in our city hails from the southwest side. Once you drive south of I-40,… Continue reading Chili Lime Catfish & Corn Tacos
Buttermilk Fried Catfish with Southern Gremolata
Is there anything more summer, or Southern, than a fish fry? Just the smell of catfish fillets (or nuggets) dipped in golden cornmeal and then fried until crispy makes my mouth water. I've grown up around catfish, and good 'ol fish fries, my entire life. Catfish may be a bottom feeder, but it sure does… Continue reading Buttermilk Fried Catfish with Southern Gremolata
Spicy Baked Flounder with Peach Salsa
I would definitely say that I'm one of those people that enjoys experimenting in the kitchen. Does it always work in my favor? Of course not. At the same time though, you learn a lot from experimentation. There have been quite a few disasters in the kitchen that I've made. Y'all only get the good… Continue reading Spicy Baked Flounder with Peach Salsa
Baked Fish Parmesan
Rob is off galavanting around all over Kansas City for his Bachelor's party this weekend. You know what that means? Tons of cooking and endless hours of Netflix binging for me! I've barely managed to scrap myself off the couch this weekend. I'm perfectly content with that. Of course, I cooked up a lot of… Continue reading Baked Fish Parmesan
Blackened Catfish Alfredo
When you live exactly 1.5 million miles away from the ocean, seafood can be pretty hard to come by....most of the time. Thankfully, Oklahoma adapted. No seafood? No problem. We've got the bottom-feeder catfish to sustain our fishy fantasies. The freshwater fish is probably an acquired taste to most, and most of the time it's… Continue reading Blackened Catfish Alfredo
Catfish Pasta Primavera
Okay, I know it's only January 2nd. I know it is just the beginning of winter. But guess what? It was nearly 70 degrees here today, so it felt like Spring. I feel like I'm always way far ahead of the seasons. I set up my fall decor in August this year. August. Christmas decor and tree… Continue reading Catfish Pasta Primavera
Mexican Fish Stew
The past few times that I've cooked any bit of seafood, it has seriously stunk up my house. I love any and all seafood, so I don't have a sensitive nose to the smelliness that may accompany fish---but man, my house sucks in that smell and keeps it lingering for days at a time. So, when I… Continue reading Mexican Fish Stew
