The Pescetarian and the Pig

Roasted Garlic Hummus. Fall is so close. SOOOOOOO close. It’s the only thing I can think about right now as I sit here praying for cooler weather. As a Seattle native, this business of weeks and weeks of over 97 degree weather has me somehow feeling depressed and super housebound. Any time I hear a droplet […]

Skinny Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip. I absolutely salivate over spinach and artichoke dip whenever I go out to a restaurant and see it on the menu. It is one of the tastiest, creamiest, garlicky-est (yup, just made that a word), and yet most fattening appetizers you could possible imagine eating. I love every moment […]

Greek Yogurt Avocado Spread OMG, this is the most perfect avocado spread ever. It’s the creamiest, dreamiest spread mixed with a blend of tasty spice, zesty lime juice, fresh cilantro, and protein-packed Greek Yogurt. It tastes so good if you want to just use it as a dip, like guacamole, with chips or on veggies. […]

Light Rotini Pasta and VeggiesOh Rotini Pasta… Your beautiful spirals, your tender texture, your amazing capacity to hold flavor in your shape…how is it that I could have gone all of these years and not fallen in love with you until now? You were there the whole time, but I never noticed… Perhaps it’s because […]

Low-carb Shrimp and Angel Hair Pasta Have you heard of Miracle Noodles? They are literally a no-carb, no-calorie, gluten-free, vegan, “shirataki” noodle made out of a yam. Amazing, eh? It’s a miracle! 😉 I found these at the local Harris Teeter in the Asian/International section. I know you can find them at Asian grocery stores, […]

Garlic and Herb Steamed Crab Crab. Sweet, juicy, ocean-y (?) Dungeness Crab. Dungeness Crab is a childhood tradition. For years and years and years my family would go to my Uncle Toshi’s cabin at the Hood Canal, WA. We would set crab traps out in the canal in the morning and at the end of […]

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, […]

This is my “go to” recipe when I need something light, tasty, and delicious for dinner. It’s especially great for a summer cookout, especially because you can get all of the ingredients straight from your very own garden! The roasted vegetables are delicious hot out of the oven, and they’re just as good chilled. It […]
