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…
Crab Rangoon Dip with Baked Wonton Chips
I’m not a huge fan of Chinese food. I’d eat Japanese or Thai food every day for the rest of my life. But Chinese? Not so much. Chinese food = stomach aches and dehydration. Though I try to stay away from the stuff, there are two things that I really do love: hot and sour…
Jambalaya with Shrimp and Ham
I think everyone knows by now that I miss the South, I’m sick of cowboys, and I’m very ready to get out of this one horse town. Well guess what… my wish has been granted! In just a few weeks, we’ll be moving to Mississippi to continue pilot training with the Navy. Hooray! I never…
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…
Paprika Shrimp with Citrus Cilantro Quinoa
Today’s recipe is another one brought to you (and me) by my mom. This one didn’t come out of the McCormick cookbook she sent me, but it DID come from their website. My mom saw the quinoa and decided to pass the recipe on to me since lately I’ve had a bit of an obsession…
Tequila Lime Salmon
I’m not sure if everyone’s been watching the news lately, but we’ve been having some crazy weather here in Oklahoma this week. Monday night we had bad thunder storms and hail the size of marbles. Apparently this is “small” hail for Oklahoma, but it’s the biggest I’ve ever seen! Last night, we were under a…
