After 28 years working for a local company they decided to let several long term dedicated people go. I feel OK saying this now as I just received my last severance check 🙂 I was a little bitter at first but I have been so unhappy with the twists and turns of the company for many many years now. I stayed thinking what else could … Continue reading Cioppino – cod, sausage and fennel
How many times have you had something stick to your grill, oiled and or hot enough not it happens. I do not proclaim to be a grill master by any means. I have always used a gas grill so it goes without saying that if I were to grill on charcoal flame it would take some adjustment on my part. Who knows maybe some … Continue reading Grilled flounder with a tarragon (mostly parsley) lime Escabeche
Gonna be a scorcher today – we went to a BBQ pool party yesterday. We haven’t been to one since before kids; over 30 years ago. That’s kinda sad. I grew up with a pool in the back yard and LOVED it. I have been asking for a pool ever since we bought our house and asked again when we built the one we are … Continue reading Pan-Seared Fish with Herbed Brown Butter
We should eat more fish – I think this a lot but yet we really don’t eat it very often and that makes me sad. We live in New England and although our coastline is pretty small; not that that matters; we still have one and we all love eating most kinds of fish; my daughter is the only one in the family that likes … Continue reading Baked Cod and Mango Salsa
I mentioned last week that I was heading out for vacation and will be sharing some of the food we had. We arrived home last late night well actually we landed around 7:30 then had to go through immigration and then customs. Pictures of Sandy Island off the coast of Anguilla We are no strangers to going through our international airport over the years. Our … Continue reading Anguilla vacation lunch and dinner
We are going to celebrate May 5th aka cinco de mayo with a little taco party for family and friends. While it may look like a lot of work it really isn’t too bad. Your time will be spent mostly dicing and slicing and a little frying. The reward far out weighs an hour or so prepping for your party. And pulling off a party … Continue reading Taco bar – fish, chicken, beef and shrimp
I am on another trek to try to empty out the fridge and freezer since I can’t fit another thing in any of them (I have another one in the garage) yet I still seem to go to the store and buy more food to make some recipe I just saw. I think I have a problem. This recipe I happen to have had everything … Continue reading Cod, sausage and fennel cioppino
I have always wanted to try making fish e paillote which is a fancy way of saying fish baked in parchment paper. Don’t ask me why it has taken me SO long; it was easy, delicious and was a huge hit with the fam. plus it looks pretty cool. I bought some wonderful cod from my local market along with some asparagus; I really didn’t … Continue reading Fish en Papillote – baked fish in parchment
We are a meat and potato kind of family. It is not that we don’t like all kinds of food, sometimes it is just too easy to make a protein and a potato of some sort and add a vegetable; voila dinner is served. The other day I grabbed a fresh cod fillet that looked awesome. It was pretty hot out so I wanted to … Continue reading Baked Cod with Mango Salsa
I was recently called out for not having any fish recipes; mentioned were two fish that yes I have never blogged about; one being salmon and I am just not a fan. If anyone wants to share their favorite salmon recipe, I might consider trying it but I make NO promises. I think it is a little too fishy tasting for me. The other fish … Continue reading Pan-Seared Swordfish Steak w/mixed peppercorn butter
