I can’t believe how easy and quickly this dish came together. I do believe that this is the perfect week night meal. Full of flavor, healthy and easy. If you aren’t a big shrimp fan I think that bite-sized pieces of chicken tenders would be a nice substitute. Want to take it up another notch? [...]

Cashew Crusted Tilapia on Basil Pineapple Rice
My husband loves fish. I do not love it, but will eat it. That is if it is a mild, white fish. Tilapia fits all my fish criteria. It is mild, white and very budget friendly. The rice is absolutely delicious and compliments the fish perfectly. I really get burnt out on grilling all summer [...]
Angel Hair Pasta with Scallops, Shrimp, Arugula and Asparagus
I rarely eat pasta anymore, but thought I would splurge. I mean it was Valentine’s Day and all. I am glad I did. This dish has lots of flavors and textures with a light and bright sauce to tie everything together. You can really build on this recipe. I can see throwing in some grape [...]
Chopped Caesar Salad with Homemade Croutons and Grilled Lemon and Basil Shrimp
I really enjoy a good Caesar salad, especially when there is shrimp involved. This is a great little Caesar dressing recipe. I love how it doesn’t use a raw egg. I’m always just a little freaked out when I have to use raw eggs, and I’m not sure that coddling your egg would make much [...]
Pineapple Soy Tilapia with Basil Couscous
I guess it really isn’t that hard fitting fish into your weekly meal rotations, especially when you serve it up with this yummy whole-wheat couscous, pineapple and edamame mixture. The couscous in itself was very filing and the sweet basil pops with flavor. It also came together very quickly, making this dish a superb choice [...]
Tilapia with Thai Coconut-Curry Sauce
I have been trying to incorporate more fish into our evening meals recently. Not because I love it, but because I know it is much healthier for us. Fish is lower in calories than its red meat counterpart, high in Omegas and easier for our little bodies to digest. Tilapia is firm in texture [...]
Salmon with Sweet Chili Glaze and Sugar Snap Peas
This is an amazing dish exploding with tons of flavor. My only regret with this dish is that I wish I would have doubled the Sweet Chili Glaze, it was that delicious. You can find the sweet red chili sauce in the Asian aisle of your market. I also wish I would have doubled the [...]
Orzo Pasta Salad as a Main Course
Fox 40 News Orzo Pasta Salad I was on a local news channel today, I think that if you click on the above link it will link you to my segment. I have trouble with all things tech related! So I ramped up this side salad and made it a main course salad by [...]
Chipotle-Glazed Shrimp and Avocado Cups
It is fun finding new and different appetizers to serve to friends. These shrimp are very versatile. You could use them for shrimp fajitas or after grilling you can wrap a blanched snow pea around them and secure it with a toothpick. But here I decided to use those great Tostito Scoops chips. I filled [...]
Garlic and Beer Marinated Grilled Shrimp
These beer marinated and grilled shrimp are my all time favorite, most flavorful shrimp to eat. They are best served warm or at room temperature. They are so good that your guests will gobble them up before they get cold. Even if you are not a beer lover I promise you will enjoy these delectable [...]
