When we moved from our condo to our new home I was looking forward to many things – one being the ability to barbecue. I dreamt about being able to make and enjoy delicious grilled meats, seafood, and pizza (you haven’t lived until you’ve tried pizza on the bbq). Almost a year later, and we have…

How To: Quickie Meal – Panko Crusted Baked Tilapia
This was one of those dinners that was so good I made it again the very next night. Seriously. It may have also had something to do with the fact that I had a costco size tray of tilapia fillets that had to get used up. But that’s besides the point. The fact that my…

How To: Recipe Makeover – Vegetarian Cobb Salad
I know this title may read like an oxymoron. Bacon and chicken are two of the ingredients typically found in a Cobb salad, joining eggs, blue cheese, tomatoes, and avocados. But who says you can’t deviate from the original now and then? What would life be like if we were all the same, right? When…
