My grill pan and I have a love-hate relationship. I love it because I'm able to get some great grill marks on things like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken. I had it because I almost always set my smoke alarm off when I cook with it. It doesn't matter if my ventahood is going at… Continue reading Shrimp & Red Pepper Kebabs with Jalapeno-Lime Marinade

Parmesan Fish Sticks
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Chef Boyardee beefaroni. A can of Beenee Weenies. People are turning to their childhood favorites right now, and I'm no different. Hamburger helper. Kid Cuisine. Cheez Balls. Instead of falling into the trap of buying all the premade, loaded-with-chemicals food, I've been trying to make my own homemade versions. I've been… Continue reading Parmesan Fish Sticks
Simple Nicoise Salad
This recipe was originally going to have chicken in it, to make it different from a traditional Nicoise salad. But alas, the forgetful grocery shopper strikes again. It doesn't matter how detailed my list is when I go to the supermarket---I will always forget something. I'm usually able to get my husband to pick it… Continue reading Simple Nicoise Salad
Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
That's a lot of alliteration right there in the title. Shrimp. Scampi. Spaghetti. Squash. I swear it was unintentional. It just happened. I just had a spaghetti squash ready to go the other day and shrimp scampi sounded like the perfect meal to make with it. I love that buttery, garlicky dish. It's so rich… Continue reading Shrimp Scampi Spaghetti Squash
Thai Salmon Stir Fry
I've been hoarding all of these keto ideas and recipes and I'm finally getting around to posting them. Anytime inspiration strikes, I jot it down in my notes on my phone. I'll be laying in bed, about to fall asleep, when I'll think of something like, oh what if I make sloppy joe's but with… Continue reading Thai Salmon Stir Fry
Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas
Fajitas are a way of life. Growing up, I knew it was going to be a good end to the day if my mom was cooking up a batch of fajitas for dinner. A sizzling hot plate of chicken fajitas with crispy peppers, onions and mushrooms was always a great dinner to be had in… Continue reading Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas
Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
If you look through ANY food boards on Pinterest, you'll be inundated with copycat 'bang bang' shrimp recipes. What is that, you ask? Well---I actually don't know. I've never even had bang bang shrimp before from any of the restaurants claiming to serve it. Even though I've never tried it, my mouth still waters everytime… Continue reading Bang Bang Shrimp Bowls
Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
One of my favorite things to get at the grocery store is catfish nuggets. It's simply chopped up catfish filets, but it's half the cost of an actual filet. My mom always uses catfish nuggets to make fried catfish, and now I can see why. I bought nearly 3.5 pounds of catfish for less than… Continue reading Quick & Easy Catfish Wraps
Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Happy 4th of July! This is the 10th holiday in a row I've had to work. I'm not complaining, though. Not only do I get holiday pay (yipee!) but I'm not really a fan of smaller holidays like this one. I'll soak in the fireworks and patriotism in my drive home tonight---I don't need a… Continue reading Gulf Coast Cobb Salad
Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
Here we are again. My favorite day of the week. I've already slurped down 3 cups of coffee and unloaded my clothes dryer to make room for another load. The kitchen is sparkling clean and ready for a long day of meal prepping. I'm currently trying to decide what to make for breakfast before I… Continue reading Spicy Crab Stuffed Avocados
