The Pescetarian and the Pig

So I have been in super musically reminiscent mode lately. I blame it on How Sweet It Is. She wrote a blog a few weeks ago and mentioned her love for Boyz II Men. I was getting so tired of the Pandora stations I’d created and I thought “HOLY COW! I totally forgot that they […]

Modifying your chocolate is so easy, yet so satisfying. Sometimes I fantasize about all of the various flavors I can combine with chocolate that I wouldn’t normally be able to find in the store and I just start experimenting. This here recipe is an experiment gone totally right. This combination of flavors… OOH-WEE! And the […]

Alright, before we get to this awesome blend of spicy, zesty, juicy, and sweet shrimpy deliciousness, I have to point out this incredible gem of cinematic genius: I just can’t get over how funny this scheme is. All the effort to turn him into a flea, put him in a box, in yet another box, […]

So you hate Brussels Sprouts, do ya? Trust me, I get it. I had this sort of vague memory that as a child I once ate brussels sprouts at my grandma’s house and really loved them. But then I never ate them again. So when I was about 22  I remembered  loving them so much […]

People are funny about resolutions. There is a huge rise in the amount of people at the gym for the first 20 days or so of the year. Most people pledge to eat healthy and exercise more for the new year and finally get into shape. Some are just trying to lose the 5-10 lbs […]

Have you seen Coneheads? I saw it way back in the day… I think I was about 9 or 10. Anyway, it happens to be on HBO on Demand at the moment, so I decided to take a quick trip down memory lane and watch it again. Holy cow, I swear every comedian ever is […]

Vegetable lasagna is one of my favorite dinner meals. There’s no doubt that the vegetable version is healthier than the meaty version, but I wanted to make it even healthier and take out a ton of carbs and calories. The easy solution? Remove the pasta! Especially during the summer when eggplant and zucchini are so […]

Man oh man oh man I love Quinoa! Man oh man oh man I love Mushrooms! Man oh man oh man I love this combination! These stuffed mushrooms work great as an appetizer, a side dish, or a very tasty and healthy snack! Quinoa (keen-wah) is rich in protein and has perfectly balanced amino acids, […]

I swear I had almost forgotten what a delightful fish Grouper is. Every time I make a fish dish, I tend to go straight to Salmon or Tilapia. They’re such reliable fish, and they’re almost always available at the local market. But Oh Goodness, when I happened upon fresh filets of Grouper the other day, […]

Ceviche, for those who are unfamiliar, is a dish consisting of seafood that has been marinated in lime juice. The seafood is put in the lime juice raw, and the acids in the citrus actually cook it! The first time I remember ever having great ceviche was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in a boat in […]
