Lime and pepper marinated chunks of fish topped with a yummy lime broccoli slaw!

Trish’s Delicious Fishes

My good friend Trish was telling me last night about the fish tacos she made for dinner. I wanted to try it so bad, so I asked for her recipe. I took the zest and juice from one lime, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 hot sliced fresh red pepper, 1/4 c. chopped & mixed green onion and cilantro (fresh from the garden!) and mixed it up well. I poured it into a large freezer bag over 1 lb. of cod (she used...

lK scores a 4 for 4 on this one; beautiful, tasty, healthful, and kid-approved. Nice!

Peach Mint Salad

Part of why I love summertime so much, is the CONSTANT variety. Right now, in my garden, arugula is running rampant! I harvested some of that, some fresh dill, chives, sage, rosemary, and another green and red leafy head of lettuce. Once I’d brought them inside, I rinsed well (to get the dirt and bugs out), and let that sit on a paper towel with another on top, weighed down with a bowl,...

Delicious, decadent Shrimp, Lobster, and Scallop Scampi. Perfect, supportive, and delicious!

Lobster, Shrimp, and Scallop Scampi

Scampi, one of my favorites. While it does have it’s variations from place to place, one thing remains: it typically is shrimp broiled in garlic and butter. A lot of the time, it’s served over pasta. The reduction/sauce usually also contains wine, which I’ve omitted from this recipe. So to cut corners are far as time went, I bought 1 lb. pre-cooked and shelled lobster (my favorite!),...

Enjoy my super-speedy sundried tomato and basil pesto atop spagetti squash with shrimp, chicken or any other protein. YUM!

Sunny Sundried Tomato Pesto

In celebration of our sunny weather, I made some sunshine tomato pesto!! ……Alright, that was a lie. Really, this recipe was a fluke, but a wonderful one! See what happened was, last night when making dinner, I thought I had a MUCH bigger container of basil than I really did. I realized when I was cleaning my basil that I didn’t, in fact, have anywhere near enough. So, I pulled...

Super fast weeknight cod topped with fruit salsa, ready in literally seconds!

Lightening Fast Weeknight Tropical Cod

If you’re anything like me, you’ve only got a couple of nights a week to get errand-type things done, am I right? Tonight was my grocery shopping night, but I stayed late at work, then ran a couple of errands, then grocery store last. Looking at my clock and seeing it was already past 7PM, I knew I was going to have to do something, or risk eating something unhealthy and unsupportive. ...

Fresh Cherry Salsa with red onions and red peppers

Crystal's Cherry Salsa

So as I told you earlier, I had a get-together with friends this weekend. Most people brought an appetizer, and I snagged the recipe as soon as I saw the beautiful, deep red colors of this gorgeous salsa. Isn’t it beautiful?!? Cherry Salsa Now let me tell you, growing up, I was NOT a fan of cherries. My best friend and I have deduced that the reason for this is that our medicines were all...

So on the Warp Speed Fat Loss low carb day, there’s a derivative of a smoked salmon wrapped around cream cheese. While I love the idea of things wrapped in other things, particularly cream cheese (or…any cheese, really), I find smoked salmon gag-a-licioius, and used turkey bacon instead. To make it supportive, I peeled and cut cukes into small strips, put [...]

Salmon and Asparagus on the 28 day Warp Speed Fat Loss plan

Dinner n' a Good One!

Two Englishmen were walking through the woods with a large Salmon under each arm when they met two Irishmen, Michael and Donal. “Hey there’s some wonderful salmon, where did you get them?” “Don’t tell anyone,” replied the Englishmen, “but we poached them out of the river.” “How did you do that?” asked Donal “Well, Fred here dangles over...

In the Catholic Religion, fish is the meal of choice on Christmas Eve, primarily Cod. The Feast of Seven fishes ( in Italian- the vigilia di magro- a Catholic prohibition of consumption of meat) is a very Italian-specific tradition, an extravaganza of fish; different preparations and recipes. I love fish so much I could have a Feast of Seven [...]

The 12 Days of Christmas- Christmas Eve Fish

In the Catholic Religion, fish is the meal of choice on Christmas Eve, primarily Cod. The Feast of Seven fishes ( in Italian- the vigilia di magro- a Catholic prohibition of consumption of meat) is a very Italian-specific tradition, an extravaganza of fish; different preparations and recipes. I love fish so much I could have a Feast of Seven Fishes EVERY DAY! So I started with an Americanized...
