Since the Navy owns Nick now, he was not able to accompany me to Massachusetts for my week long vacation. He did, however, get to come up for about 28 hours to make it to our friends’ wedding. In the 28 hours that we were both out of our house, tragedy struck. I got back…
Grilled Grouper with Basil-Lime Pistou
What is pistou, you ask? Good question. I wondered that too. Turns out, it’s pretty much just the snotty French way to say pesto. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Apparently, pistou doesn’t include pine nuts, like a traditional pesto does. But basically, it’s a snotty French nut-free pesto. I’m allowed to make fun of the…
Thai-Style Halibut with Coconut-Curry Broth
Though I normally enjoy grocery shopping, sometimes after a day at work, even though there’s a supermarket right on my way home, I just don’t feel like stopping. This was a meal I managed to make on one of those days, with things from my pantry, fridge and freezer. It was sort of a throw-together…
Beer Battered Fish Tacos with Tomato Avocado Salsa
I’ve mentioned a couple times now that a month or two ago (has it really been that long?), Nick went to California for some training and came back with pounds of moose, deer and halibut from his aunt to stock our freezer. Well, this week, Nick had a buddy going out there and enlisted him…
Broiled Halibut with Thai Coconut Curry Sauce
So, some big changes are coming! New year, new project. Since I have some time right now, and haven’t found a job here in Mississippi yet, I’m going to focus on trying to make my blog better! I’m moving the blog from WordPress.com to a self-hosted site on GoDaddy. WordPress.com is very restrictive and doesn’t…
Provencale Fish
My sister mentioned to me the other day that I haven’t been posting anything healthy lately. Well, it’s true. I haven’t. It’s holiday season, and I’ve had plenty of excuses for making delicious treats. But, in an effort to not gain 10 pounds before Thanksgiving even hits, I’ve decided to kick up the healthy cooking…
Shrimp and Clam Cioppino
A while back, when we were still living in Pensacola, I briefly mentioned an awesome fish market that we had there and frequently visited. It’s one of the things we miss most about that city. Last week, Nick had to go to Pensacola for a couple days to do some Navy stuff. He brought me…
Almond Crusted Bass with Warm Coconut Peanut Sauce
Though Nick often jokes that I won his heart over through his stomach, it’s actually the other way around. That’s how he suckered me in! You see, when I first met Nick, he was quite the cook, always whipping up something new for dinner for 4 or 10 different friends. I remember homemade Thai chicken…
