Master Your Metabolism with Jillian Michaels’ Spicy Mahi-Mahi and Mango Tacos

Fish tacos get a bad rap because much of time the fish is battered, fried and served with a sauce filled with fatty mayonnaise or sour cream. 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 [...]

Grilled Wahoo and Orange Butter

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 [...]

Grilled Tuna with Smoky Tomato Salsa

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) [...]

Greek Mahi Mahi with Kalamata Olives

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 [...]

Weekly fish challenge restart: Tuna Lemon-Cilantro Vinaigrette and Couscous

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 [...]

The start of the weekly fish dish project: Muir Glen Fiery Fruit Salsa

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 [...]

Partying with the Mad Men: retro shrimp appetizers

Shrimp is a wonderful party food since 2 ounces is equal to 1 Weight Watchers POINT. And if you’ve ever weighed out shrimp, that’s a lot of shrimp. Since shrimp cocktail always reminds me of gambling in Vegas and listening to the Rat Pack, it’s the perfect retro food for a Mad Men viewing party. [...]

Summer salads: Holly Clegg’s Marinated Shrimp Edamame Salad

Summer has finally arrived in Colorado, meaning it’s hot and the AC and fans are most of the day. In this heat, the last thing I want to do is cook. Actually, I want to lie down next to one of the vents and read books all day. (I’m not good in the heat.) So [...]

Food on a stick week: Grilled Shrimp and Scallop Kabobs

Last week I was tweeting with my friend Michelle Lamar, also known as White Trash Mom, that food on a stick like the kind you get at carnivals and country fairs is the ultimate in white trash cuisine. Well, food on a stick doesn’t have to be fried and unhealthy. It can be fun, low [...]
