Habanero Shrimp and Jicama Salsa

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, […]

Gooey Peanut Butter Cookie Brownies

Gooey Peanut Butter Cookie Brownies. Do you remember when I said I was on a diet? Do you remember when I said I was going to stick to it ever so strictly because I’m so close to my goal and I just want to be done with it already? Do you remember when Peanut Butter […]

Toffee Peach Cupcakes with Coconut Buttercream Frosting

Toffee and Peaches are a match made in Heaven. Period. Peaches are a summer staple, or so I have learned since moving to the south.

Chili Lime Grouper With Rainbow Salsa

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, […]

Shrimp and Grouper Fiesta Ceviche

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 […]

Sun-dried Tomato and Basil Pappardelle

I’m a sucker for cold foods, especially in the summer. This pasta dish is, in my opinion, best served cold. It’s light, healthy, really easy to prepare, and packs a ton of flavor with few ingredients. The Cinnamon Basil adds a warm flavor. I have never seen Cinnamon Basil in the grocery store, so you […]
