Seafood chowders are one of my favorite types of soup – the flavor reminds me of sitting by the ocean! I love making soup or stew any time of the year. This chowder is full of delicious veggies and big chunks of salmon (yum). Fresh dill ties the whole dish together! Serve this with crackers … Salmon Chowder
Pappardelle pasta is the wider version of a fettuccine noodle and I absolutely love it with seafood, braised short ribs or bolognese sauce. This pasta has comfort food written all over it – garlicky, buttery shrimp with cheesy noodles. To balance it out, add extra greens into the pasta mix or serve some roasted vegetables … Garlic Shrimp Pappardelle Pasta
With the holidays behind us, I’m ready to incorporate some lighter meals into our weekly routine. This dish is on the table in less than 30 minutes, but tastes like it’s been stewing for hours. I served mine with white rice, but this would also be good with grits or zucchini noodles. Heat butter in … Shrimp Creole
I love a bowl of warm, cozy noodles when the weather starts to get chilly. This dish is great for a date night in, but it’s also simple enough to prepare for your family any night of the week.

Typically I get two different types of clients – ones that love fish or ones that say it’s too fishy. For those “too fishy” people, I always challenge them to try halibut. It’s incredibly mild and has a wonderful meaty texture. Like most fish, it pairs really nicely with citrus. Poaching it in olive oil … Olive Oil Poached Halibut with Cherry Tomatoes & Olives
A few months ago, Josh and I tried shrimp diablo at a local restaurant and have been dreaming about it ever since. The flavors were so fresh and inviting, without being overly spicy.

Like many of you I’ve been using this time to clean everything, including my pantry. It’s been great to see what I have on-hand and figure out different ways to use it. I found a bag of tortilla chips that was mostly crushed and figured those chips would make a perfect coating for the tilapia … Tortilla Chip Crusted Tilapia with Sriracha Lime Mayo
Love is in the air (or maybe that’s just the brown butter I’m smelling…). Valentine’s day can be stressful when trying to plan the perfect meal, but it doesn’t have to be. I am always up for staying in and cooking rather than trying to make a reservation at a fancy restaurant.These scallops are SO … Brown Butter Scallops with Thyme and Pink Peppercorns
Halibut is one of my favorite fishes because it’s so meaty, not very “fishy” and it develops a beautiful crust when pan-seared. A light, fruity topping like this citrus salsa is the perfect compliment (especially this time of year when citrus is in season). Serve this with steamed veggies and/or quinoa for a refreshing meal with … Pan-Seared Halibut with Citrus Salsa
Foil pack meals are some of my absolute favorites, mainly because they are so incredibly easy to clean-up. But, beyond that, this cooking method is a great way to seal in flavor and keep food juicy (especially shrimp and fish). This meal is so light and refreshing, yet super filling as well. If you want … Garlic Shrimp and Rainbow Veggie Foil Packs
