Cracking eggs one carton at a time.
Lately, I've been trying to make all my favorite meals into salad form. That includes fish tacos, steak, BLT sandwiches, and lox & cream cheese bagels. Not everything works. I don't think a mealoaf salad would go down very well. This weekend I set out to make another fave dinner: chicken fajitas. Tortillas are a… Continue reading Chicken Fajita Salad
Seafood is an extravagant purchase where I come from. We're only about 1,000 miles away from the closest coast and good, cheap seafood is really hard to come by. My main seafood purchases are shrimp and catfish, and I do that sparingly. I'm talking a once-a-month meal. So imagine my surprise when my local grocer… Continue reading Shrimp & Scallop Divan

Cauliflower rice desperately yearns for seasoning. Even if it's as simple as a little pat of butter, salt and… Continue reading Verde Chicken Bowl
I haven't quite mastered the art of the grill pan. A wedding gift we got last year, my grill pan has seen many an attempt at mimicking the real thing---a charcoal grill. Since I can't grill to save my life, I thought the grill pan would help out. If you're unaware, a grill pan is… Continue reading Tandoori Shrimp
Sometimes you just need a quick and breezy dinner to get on the table in seconds flat. This is one of those meals. Born out of my obsession with sausage & peppers, this recipe has become my go-to on super busy workdays. It takes no time to put together (less than 20 minutes) and keeps… Continue reading Sausage & Peppers with Cauliflower Rice
