It’s not a secret – I’ve always loved being creative in the kitchen, and cooking delicious food for the people I love. When my husband and I started dating, we quickly discovered a partner in trying food that the average person would stick their nose up to. While I’d always been a fan of sushi, it wasn’t until I met Jason that I really spread my proverbial sushi wings and discovered a love of fish eggs of all kinds (aka roe, ikura, tobikko, etc.).
Until recently, mussels were a food item I strictly ordered ONLY in restaurants, mostly because the little-shelled, protein-packed beauties were intimidating and I had no idea how to cook them. What I didn’t realize was how gosh darn easy (and affordable!) they are to cook at home.
Crab cakes, oh how I love thee.
These cakes are SO versatile; they can be served as a main course, play the starring role in your breakfast Eggs Benedict (better known as eggs benny in our house), or can provide the perfect appetizer course before a date night meal.
Who likes spicy food? If so, this is the dish for you! Creole Cajun shrimp deliciousness from kitchen to table in no time flat.
I’ve been trying to post a recipe every Tuesday and Thursday, but yesterday got away from me. A full day of work plus errands and a climbing gym date with one of my bests left me one tired Beth. I was out for the count by 9:30. 9:30! For those that know me, I’m a night owl (probably due to the copious amounts of caffeine I drink) but sometimes, you just need to listen to your body and give it a rest, gosh darn it! 🙂
ANYWAY, you’re here for the FOOD, not a diatribe about my routine lack of sleep. 🙂
