As far as fish sandwiches go, this one is pretty classic. As I did my research for creating this recipe, I found that traditional crispy fried fish with slaw is really the way to go. It just works so well, don’t fix it if it’s not broken (I say that, but I will still try, sigh…life as a food blogger). If you’re not a huge fish fan, or eat a lot of it like I do, this sandwich is a great way to consume more fish without feeling like you are… it’s just a sandwich!

Black and blue is a flavor combination that is hard to beat! Tangy blue cheese and spicy blackening season complement each other so well, it is a classic combination. Before I started to focus on whole foods, I would put blackening seasoning and blue cheese on frozen burgers. This homemade black and blue veggie burger is so much better, and better for you!

When I was a kid, scotcheroos were a thing. Way bigger and cooler than the rice crispy treat. In my adult days, I tend not to indulge in such treats because of their effect on my waistline. With these bars I decided to make an exception. They are my adult version of scotcheroos. I made the ingredients a little more wholesome, and the process a little more simple.

Burgers are a favorite dish in my house. I love to play with flavor combinations, and burgers make this so easy. Because it’s a burger you can fold anything into it, and top it with anything that will fit inside the bun. Tangy mustard and sweet apricot compliment one another to make a gourmet burger that’s out of this world!

I know I said that I was going to embrace fall. Yet here I am posting about summer vegetables…still. At the farmers market this morning there were still so many yummy summer vegetables to enjoy, I couldn’t help myself! There were a few butternut squash, but I have all winter to enjoy the long lasting squash (which is another great vegetable to roast, by the way). So there you have it, summer roasted veggies with my special seasoning blend!

Hello Friends! This is another recipe fantastic for football season! Some thin crust pizzas lack in crust texture. You get a slice and it flops in your hand. The flavor is all there, but that’s just because you have a delivery service for ooey-gooey cheese. This pizza crust is thin and crispy, the best of both worlds!
This is my second post using yeast to make a pizza crust. I promise, it’s worth the trouble. You can let the dough rise, or not. It’s the baking method that matters. See the photos below of the dough and crust. The crust is laced with herbs, which add a fresh flavor. On the first bake, the dough will puff up into a pocket; this separation of the layers allows for extra crisping which make the crust special. Continue reading

I love to make enchiladas because they are simple. Simple ingredients and simple to prep. All you have to do is make your filling, stuff tortillas, and bake! Anyone can do that. This recipe is made almost entirely out of my pantry staples. It’s easy to add to the end of my weeks meal planning because I generally don’t need many ingredients.

Blueberries are out of season now, but you can always find frozen berries to use in there place. I was recently given some local, hand-picked berries that had been frozen for long term storage. In an application like this one, you can’t even tell that they were not fresh berries!
