You can make the tomato sauce base as mild or spicy as you prefer. I started with a mild tomato sauce then added the spicy goods at the end when I brought the shrimp and sauce together. I kept aside half of the mild sauce for the sensitive folks in my family. That's just the way I have to roll. HERE'S HOW EASY THIS IS 6 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 stalk celery, finely... More...

Zesty and light, shrimp sauteed in butter and lemon juice mixed with rice is a great lunch treat. I caught this shrimp, on sale of course, and couldn't resist treating myself. My husband and kids are NOT shrimp eaters, so I rarely cook it. Have you ever noticed that you don't see a lot of fish or shellfish on this site? That's why. Anyhoo. HERE'S ALL I DID 6 to 8 shrimp, already shelled &... More...

It's that time of year. We're all feeling it. If we see one more dirty snowpile, one more pair of salt encrusted snow boots or one more sidewalk to shovel, we'll go insane and smash the snow shovel into little pieces. Don't do it! I have a tasty alternative. Close your blinds, turn up the thermostat for one hour and put on some shorts...or not if you look into the mirror to find that your pasty... More...

This recipe comes from a good friend, Susana R. Susana and I went to the same high school and her sister, Carmen, and I were running buddies. We found each other on Facebook; I love Facebook. One thing led to another and well, we're swappin' recipes now. Grilled Garlic Crusted Chilean Sea Bass by Susana R. Chilean Sea Bass is an oily fish, so the taste is very flaky and and buttery. This dish... More...

I forget how delicious, healthy and filling tuna salad can be for us. I skipped toasting whole wheat bread slices this time and filled a few large spinach leaves instead. YUMMO! I was completely satisfied. "Now I'm strong to the finish, cuz I eats my spinach. I'm Popeye the sailor man! TOOT TOOT!" I don't know where that came from? Let's move on. HERE'S MY FAVORITE COMBINATION 1 (12 ounce)... More...

Living in East Texas, there's plenty of All-You-Can-Eat Catfish joints. I believe it's a state law to have one catfish restaurant in every East Texas town. However, the closest "seafood" restaurant is 40 minutes away and it's Red Lobster... If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Mix that with my newest food item to explore, Panko Bread Crumbs, and I have a new post. Now,... More...

It's taken me a looooong time to try fish tacos. They're super easy to make and have a lot of flavors wrapped up in that little corn tortilla. But like my friend Teresa's experience, my first attempt didn't win me over. My pico de guy-O was very good. The habenero sour cream was very zesty and a good condiment for this mix. The purple cabbage gave these tacos a fresh crunch. However, the... More...
