While strolling through the ales of my local World Market one day, I spotted several interesting pastas of the dried variety. One in particular that really got me excited was the Squid Ink Spaghetti. Wow! I’ve always wanted to try squid ink pasta. Here was my chance.

One-Pan Mediterranean Baked Halibut with Vegetables
After my bypass surgery, the discharge nurse went over the restrictions and recommendation for a healthy recovery and longer life. One of the recommendations was “heart healthy” eating. When I asked just what do they consider “heart healthy”, the nurse shrugged as though uncertain and replied “Oh you know, Mediterranean.” Really? That’s a pretty broad answer. With the internet and everything under the sun searchable, it’s up to us to do the leg work and become our own advocates.

Foil Baked Salmon for Garlic Lovers Everywhere
Salmon is an unusual fish in that I like salmon better than Hubby likes salmon. That says a lot when you consider it was Hubby who turned me around where fish was concerned. The last meal I ate in a hospital was salmon and it was good. Salmon is something delicious from the kitchen no matter who is doing the cooking.

For whatever reason, we’ve been in a Pasta-Scallop frame of mind. Hubby is a big fan of Scallops. I really don’t think I had ever tasted a scallop before marring him. And to be honest, the first time I tried scallop anything I was not thrilled. So what changed?

Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
It’s another feast day within the Church. October 7th is known as Our Lady of the Rosary or Our Lady of Victory. This Feast Day was intended to honor a 16th century Naval victory that secured Europe against a superior Turkish invasion. If you want to learn more and have a wonderful meal, stick around. If not, that’s okay too.
Spicy Shrimp Linguine Marinara
You know me, if it’s Friday, it’s gotta be meatless or a seafood or some other pre-Vatican II throw back. Say what you will, eating “meatless” once a week really is a smart, healthy choice.
Lemon Curd Archangel Cake
Have we met? If you are new to my kitchen table, let me begin by saying that I am a practicing Catholic. While most of my recipes and fun little tales have nothing to do with being a Catholic, there are times when my faith comes into play. Today is once of those times. If that bothers you, my feelings won’t be hurt if you skip today’s recipe. Of course, if you’d like a delicious recipe for a “Heavenly” cake, please stick around.
Baked Cod Piccata with Asparagus at Last
Have you ever had a meal on the menu for weeks and yet something (like life) keeps getting in the way? Such was the case of for Cod Piccata. The first obstetrical was acquiring Cod, as in not the stuff from the freezer but the fish counter.
Jazzy Cajun Fish over a Bed of Yellow Rice
Next month we have three different festivals up in the Gold Rush country of California. These events are all on the same day. It’s going to be hard to pick just one.

Bayou Country Cajun Crab and Corn Casserole
Bayou is a French-English word for a body of water found in low-lying areas that creeps along its undefined shorelines. It’s a bog, a swamp, a marshy-green thing. The color isn’t necessarily in the water but rather in the reflections. It’s sticky and smelly and bug-infested. It’s also filled with amazing beauty.

Broiled Halibut with Moroccan Chermoula
Although it’s been a while, we’ve talked about Chermoula before. Basically, this is a condiment, much like Ketchup is to the American Household, that is found in North Africa. While used for fish, like Ketchup goes with more than just Fries, Chermoula has been known to flavor rice, chicken and even vegetables.

Eating Smart and Seasoned Tilapia Fish Fry
Can we talk fish for a moment? Tilapia sure have been getting a bad reputation for a while now. These fish are generally farm-raised, cheap to bring to market and best of all don’t have that strong “fishy” taste that generally turns people off. Cheap and tasty – that’s what makes Tilapia so popular. Yet we hear warnings. So are Tilapia bad for us?

Louisiana Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo
There ain’t nothin’ in this world more awesome than Gumbo. Even the name – Gumbo – is awesomely fun to say. There may be some “traditions” when it comes to Gumbo, like most stew-soups, just about anything goes into the pot and often does.

Grilled Lemon with Salmon-Rice Foil Packs
There is a great importance in remembering the past. So often I hear “get over it, leave the past alone, don’t look back” and so forth. That has always bothered me. If we forget the past, we are bound to repeat mistakes. It’s one thing to wallow in the past and feel sorry for ourselves. It’s another to remember. And to honor the importance of that past.
