I don’t know about you, but after a holiday season of turkey, pork roast and roast beef, I’m looking forward to eating something lighter and healthier. One way to do that is by eating salads and fruits even though it’s winter time. Luckily, we can get fresh fruit like kiwi and blueberries from Chile, where [...]
For my second post in my American Express Blue Cash® Preferred and Everyday cards Blue Cash Dinner@6 $600 giveaway I’ve chosen a fish dish. After I made it, I realized it’s a bit like the Chicken with Feta and Sundried Tomatoes recipe I made last time. Not only does this fish dish contain six ingredients, it [...]
After camping at Stagecoach Lake near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, we usually come home with a cooler full of lake trout. One of my favorite ways to prepare trout is to smoke it our Masterbuilt Electric Smoker. This recipe is good for any type of fresh water lake fish. Once you’ve tried smoked fish, you’ll never go [...]

I love cornbread and I adore seafood, so this recipe is bound to be fantastic! If you love Cajun food, make sure to [...]
My husband recently came back from yet another Mexican fishing trip. What am I going to do with all this fish I wondered? (You should have my problems, I know.) I decided to grill up a couple of wahoo fillets. Wahoo is related to mackerel and is called “ono” in Hawaii and “peto” in the [...]

A Valentine’s Day dish for the heart Valentine’s Day is around the corner and love is in the air. Want a sultry dish that will have your sweetheart swooning? If you’ve never cooked salmon [...]
In June, I attended the evo‘10 conference in Park City, Utah. The food bloggers were treated to a fantastic lunch at the Alpine House at The Canyons where I had the opportunity to make “Cedar Plank Smoked Caspian Flatbread” with one of their chefs. I’ve taken their recipe and made it healthier by substituting Greek [...]
I like getting my Omega-3s the old fashioned way – by eating fish! One of my favorites is to grilled wild caught salmon. Wild Atlantic salmon (6 oz. cooked) has 3,130 mg of EPA and DHA, and Wild Coho salmon (6 oz. cooked) has 1800 mg according to Nutrition Action Health Article: Omega Medicine? [...]
Fish tacos get a bad rap because much of time the fish is battered, fried and served with a fatty mayonnaise or sour cream sauce. Instead, Jillian Michael’s version from The Master Your Metabolism Cookbook has several nutritional benefits like being heart healthy, an immunity booster and anti-cancer. She also claims it improves your digestion [...]
I thought we had eaten our way through the fish my husband brought back from Mexico. Then I found a nice big package of wahoo in the corner of the freezer. I decided that grilling was the best way to prepare it, but how to make a delicious fish even more special? I didn’t want [...]
This grilled tuna dish hands down was the big favorite because of the smoky tomato salsa. If you prefer a milder relish, remove seeds from the jalapeño before grilling. I didn’t and it was spicy, but no overwhelmingly so. Unfortunately, I overcooked and blackened the tomatoes too much (it’s the fish in the upper left) [...]
What interested me in this dish was the use of kalamata olives. I found them at the Mediterranean style salad bar by my grocery store’s deli. It was the first time I used the self-serve bar and found it full of different types of olives, roasted garlic and other gourmet goodies. The nice thing about [...]
As I posted a few weeks ago, my husband came back from Mexico with a cooler full of freshly caught fish. That’s a picture of him and one of the blue fin tuna. Paul’s the one in the PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) shirt. Well, what can I say? At least he wasn’t wearing one [...]
You give a man a fishing pole – and a ticket to La Paz, Mexico – and he and three friends bring back over 200 pounds of tuna, wahoo and mahi mahi. Thanks to my husband’s recent fishing expedition, I’ll be cooking up a fish dish every week and featuring the recipes here at This [...]
