The Pescetarian and the Pig

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 and Peaches are a match made in Heaven. Period. Peaches are a summer staple, or so I have learned since moving to the south. Being from Seattle, roadside fruit stands selling Rainier Cherries and Blackberries have always been one of the things that signifies summer for me. In Charlotte, it’s peaches. When I found […]

Gelatin-free S’more Cupcakes. S’mores. How can you go a summer without them? Unfortunately, it’s not all that easy to come across vegan or gelatin-free marshmallows… but, luckily, marshmallow fluff does not contain gelatin! Now here’s a recipe for some delicious s’more cupcakes. Instead of adding graham cracker flavor within the cake batter or on top […]

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, […]

Could there be a better dessert than one made out of pure maple syrup? I think not! Growing up in Seattle I fell madly in love with everything maple, especially Maple Bars, which are a doughnut stick covered in gooey maple icing that seem to be only a Northwest specialty (I’ve never found them on […]

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 […]

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 […]

I absolutely love a good coconut cake! There are so many delicious variations, and I just had to come up with one of my own. This is another one of those “3 day cakes” that should be made 3 days in advance and kept in the fridge. It will be so moist and so delicious! […]
