Easy Salmon Cakes

March 8, 2010

I love a good fish cake! Crab cakes are my all time fave, but are expensive and often tedious to make. So, when I’m cooking at home, I prefer to make the salmon version. All you need is canned salmon and a few pantry ingredients to whip up this quick and super delicous meal.
Ingredients: (serves [...]

One of the most creative and easy ways to incorporate more veggies into your diet is through stir fry. I love using crisp fresh vegetables in them, but I am STILL perfecting that perfect stir fry sauce. This is the latest edition but I’m sure there will be many more.

Creamy Cauliflower with Thyme

August 6, 2009

Creamed cauliflower is a great alternative to mashed potatoes. Less carbs, just as filling and doesn’t weigh you down. Plus, it’s easy to make and is ready in about 20 min.

Summer Shrimp

July 28, 2009

I love eating shrimp in the summertime! It reminds me of the low country boils we used to have in Charleston every summer where we feasted on fresh seafood and washed it all down with ice cold beer. The memories are absolutely delicious.
The other night, I decided to have my own version of a low [...]

Roasted Shrimp Salad

May 28, 2009

I got another idea from my trusty Cooking Light magazine. I tend to make a good amount of shrimp dishes because of my boyfriend’s allergies to fish (he’s not allergic to shellfish). Shrimp is a good source of protein, low in calories about 100 calories for 4 oz), a good source of Vitamin [...]

Herb and Citrus Trout

May 25, 2009

I’m not a meat eater, but I do love fish! Last night, my boyfriend and I bought some fresh trout from Whole Foods. We wanted to make the trout the focus of the dish so we kept the sides very simple (baked potato with rosemary and fresh green beans). Since the trout was the [...]

A night at the Coast

May 21, 2009

While in Charleston, S.C. for a wedding (everyone’s getting married lately…I know!) my boo took me out for a nice seafood dinner! We dined at one of my favorite places in the city, Coast. It’s a casual, beachy restaurant with fresh seafood and zippy mango mojitos. It’s the perfect place to go on a breezy [...]
