Spicy Hummus and Veggie Stuffed Peppers

Posted on July 31, 2017 | 4 comments

I am always so tempted by all the produce at the farmers market during the summer. I want to take it all home, but I couldn’t possibly eat it all! At least I get to go back every weekend to reload for the coming week. Last week I bought a big box of red bell peppers and I really didn’t need them all. To use the the pepper I made spicy hummus and veggie stuffed peppers! Continue reading →

Five Spice Shrimp Tacos with Rhubarb Ginger Sauce

Posted on July 24, 2017 | 10 comments

Have you guys tried chinese 5-spice powder yet? It’s been a popular up-and-coming spice for a while now, and I’m just now getting on board. Chinese five-spice is a blend of Szechwan pepper, star anise, cinnamon, cloves, and fennel. It has a wonderfully warming characteristic that pairs perfectly with other Asian flavors, such as ginger, and is not spicy. My five spice shrimp tacos with rhubarb ginger sauce are an amazing twist between Asian and Mexican cuisines! Continue reading →

Chipotle Cauliflower Hummus Tacos with Cumin Slaw

Posted on July 17, 2017 | 16 comments

One of the most fun things about recipe development is taking a recipe you love, and adapting it. Sometimes it’s about making it healthier, or adapting it to fit different diets. If you read here often, you know how much I love fish tacos. However, a lot of readers here are not looking for fish based recipes (I don’t post many). Therefore, I created chipotle cauliflower hummus tacos with cumin slaw to be vegan, and just as delicious! Continue reading →

Spicy Blackened Fish Tacos with Lime Crema

Posted on July 7, 2017 | 6 comments

When I was a kid, one of my parents favorite meals was blackened salmon. I always remembered that meal because the first time we tried it as a family, we didn’t realize how spicy the seasoning was going to be!! It was so flavorful, but I remember downing glasses of milk try to keep my mouth from catching fire. In subsequent trials, my parents learned the right amount of seasonings to use, and used it sparingly for us kids. Today blackening seasoning is still a favorite of mine, so I decided to try it in one of my favorite foods, fish tacos. These spicy blackened fish tacos with lime crema were a hit at my house!

As a pescatarian, I eat lots and lots of vegetarian meals, with a few fish or seafood meals thrown in for good measure. I am weird and LOVE eating fish. At home, we eat it about once a week. This being said, can you believe that I haven’t posted a fish recipe since I posted Smoked Trout Fish Cakes in October??? Crazy, I know. Well I’ve got a few more coming your way. I have been working on fish tacos recently, and this chipotle baked fish tacos with pico slaw is definitely a fun ad healthy way to enjoy some fish! Continue reading →

I made this cilantro lime southwest black bean salad for a grill out this past weekend, and it was a hit! Continue reading →
