There's been a half-full bag of frozen catfish lounging in the back of my freezer for a few weeks now. I've been desperately trying to figure out what to do with it, but my mind kept drawing a blank. The only thing I could think of was to make fried catfish...I know, boring. There had… Continue reading Cajun Catfish Salad

Almond Crusted Fish
There's an unspoken rule in most workplaces: you don't microwave fish in the office. So what happens when fish is what you meal prep for the week?

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
