Today was one of those days that my professors warned us about in “teacher school.” Apparently, there are some months where the full moon (this is all speculation here) causes middle school students to go from relatively normal (for middle school students) to completely whackadoodle insano student-like animals. There was one point today where I [...]

When Jenn posted her recipe for Humbecue Salmon Salad, I thought that it was something I absolutely had to try. Reasons? I love salmon. I love hummus I love barbecue sauce I love cold, non-lettuce salads So yeah, reason enough to try it. The first time I made it 2 weekends ago, I ate the [...]

I happened upon a recipe today for something that had roasted red peppers in it. Then my mind started to wander… what else can I do with roasted red peppers? Salad? Nope, too cold out. Sushi? Nope, too difficult for a Tuesday. Pasta? Maybe… I need more protein than that. AH! I’ll make a roasted [...]

Last night, Adam and I got taken out to dinner by his mom to Red Lobster. Not generally my favorite seafood place, but I’m a food snot. I ordered grilled shrimp, scallops, and lobster, no oil, sauce on the side with a salad and baked potato. Quite a good decision, I thought! THEN, the basket [...]

We went to a local favorite restaurant, Davis Street Fishmarket, and got some truly amazing food! I’m not at [...]

I went through the cupboards and the freezer and came up with this simple and delicious dinner. Adam even went back for [...]

Yep. One word to describe tonight’s dinner. That word? SUSHI! I was so excited when Adam told me that we were meeting a couple friends for a sushi dinner, mostly because it’s been a good month since we last had sushi, and we used to get it EVERY WEEK! The place we went, Hanabi, is [...]

What a delicious dinner I made today! I had just over a pound of beautiful tilapia filets, and while tilapia isn’t the most politically correct or environmentally friendly fish, I do really love it. I had to cook them today, or else they’d have to be frozen, and I really don’t love frozen and then [...]

I had every intent of making cornmeal-crusted tilapia tonight, but I just did NOT want to deal with the egg wash/cornmeal mess, so instead, I went with the simple. I took 1 lb tilapia filets, and lightly dusted them with my Penzey’s Cajun Style Seasoning and sauteed them in a pan with some garlic and [...]
