One summer bash I’ll never forget was a coworker’s crawfish boil party. Dennis and his roommates had 100 pounds of crawfish flown into Denver from Louisiana for the party and kept it in the bathroom tub on ice along with a few lobsters a few guests had brought. Each guest was asked to bring beer [...]

Campechana is a Baja Mexico-style seafood cocktail and is a favorite of my husband and [...]
Here’s another “Friday Fish” recipe for Lent from Spice Island. Substitute brown rice flour for wheat flour to make this dish gluten free.
It’s the first “Fish Friday” of Lent, so the folks at Spice Islands sent me a few easy recipes to get you excited about cooking up some healthy, delicious fish.

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
