This post is presented in conjunction with the #BurgerMonth grill giveaway, hosted by GirlCarnivore. All opinions stated are my own. Surf-n-turf meets backyard cookout in these Oscar-Style Burgers. Hamburger patties are topped with crab meat, tender-crisp asparagus and rich Bearnaise sauce.
This post was sponsored by Mission Organics and The Daily Meal. All opinions are my own. With a touch of avocado and pineapple slaw for some sweetness, these chipotle lime shrimp tacos are the perfect combination of spicy and fruity!
Thai shrimp bisque is a thick, creamy soup without the cream! This soup has so much complex flavor, you don't even realize it's healthy!
Can dinner be both easy AND healthy? Yes! Serve lemon shrimp over a salad of corn, red onion and basil with a red wine vinaigrette.
Mahi mahi tacos with mango salsa and avocado crema are a delicious, easy weeknight meal with lots of spice and summer flavor.
Shrimp and grits are a traditional southern breakfast. Sauteed shrimp are served over grits flavored with sharp Cabot cheddar cheese.
Eating tasty food at home doesn't have to be expensive! This homemade shrimp fried rice costs just $2.30 per serving! Today's #SundaySupper is all about eating on a budget. Even though the economy is (slowly) rebounding, many people (myself included) need watch their finances carefully. But eating inexpensively doesn't have to mean instant ramen. This homemade …
Before I get to the food, I want to express my sincerest thanks to everyone who commented on Monday's post. We're still trying to make sense of our loss, and I'm still a crying mess more often than not, but having people reach out, even just to say, "I'm sorry," or "we're thinking about you" …
I got my appetite (mostly) back just in time for a seafood theme recipe, hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking. I requested a salmon recipe, because it's my favorite, and it's loaded with great nutrients for growing babies. I had a third reason: I was getting bored with my repertoire of salmon recipes. I felt like …
Considering the blog is named "The Redhead Baker," you're not surprised that I'm a little bit Irish, are you? Only about 50% (the other half is Scottish). I love celebrating Saint Patrick's Day. I bake Irish soda bread. I love to have a slice fresh out of the oven with a smear of Kerrygold Irish …
It's recipe swap time again, hosted by A Taste of Home Cooking. This go-round was "special occasion" themed, in honor of Valentine's Day. "Special occasion" meals often involve more expensive or exotic ingredients — splurges, indulgences . . . after all, isn't that what special occasions are all about? Our host asked us to be …
While making the weekly meal plan and checking the sale pages, I noticed that crab meat was on sale. We hadn't had shellfish, let alone crab, in quite a while. Now, I don't know about you, but the first recipe that jumps into my mind when I think about crab is crab cakes. I love …
For many years now (since I discovered my love of salmon), my preference has been to season it with lemon and dill. Until I was browsing through an old issue of Bon Appetit (see, I really am keeping my commitment to go through my unreasonably-large magazine stash!) and found a recipe for Grilled Salmon with …
I went on a seafood strike when I was young, maybe 8 years old. My parents took me to a seafood restaurant at a New Jersey beach town, and the smell made me feel sick. I refused to touch seafood for a long time.It wasn't until my cousins wedding in 2003 that I consented to …
If you've had difficulty baking fish, if it always gets too dry (not that I would know or anything), you need to try this quick and easy weekday dish. From pre-cook preparation to the table, it's ready in about 30 minutes. The recipe uses compound butter to baste the fish as it cooks. Compound butter …
I seldom rave about the food that I make. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy most of what I cook. But only a few dishes make me say, "Wow!" This dish is one of those few. If you enjoy Asian cuisine, then I think you'd enjoy this dish, too. The ginger and the soy …
As much as I love the flavor combination of lemon and dill on salmon, I wanted a different flavor with last night's dinner. I searched the web for salmon recipes, and saw a lot for salmon with honey and Dijon mustard sauce. However, I can't stand mustard, and don't keep any in the house. There …
Yes, I know, I did a tilapia post a week ago. But, we bought a two-pound bag of individual frozen filets, and there wasn't much else in the freezer. But, I like this recipe, because it's a quick, easy weekday meal. The fish cooks in 15 minutes. I chose to serve it with frozen veggies …
Whenever we do a recipe swap, I look at the other recipes that were swapped, and bookmark the ones that I'm interested in trying later. From the fish swap in September 2011, I bookmarked Parmesan Tilapia. It sounded quick and easy, and used ingredients that I almost always have on hand. And this week, a …
Because I haven't buckled down and gotten into meal-planning, I often pull a protein out of the freezer to defrost for the next night's dinner without really knowing how I'm going to cook it. Take, for example, the whiting fish I pulled out last night. I didn't even know what whiting fish was (no, I …
I was excited to see a seafood recipe swap on the cooking message board on which I post. I've only relatively recently (about six years ago) begun to eat seafood, and I tend to stick to what I know I like (shrimp scampi, lemon dill salmon). So I was hoping this swap would expose me …
At the age of 10, my family visited the New Jersey shore for vacation. One night, we went to a seafood restaurant for dinner. I felt sick to my stomach the moment we entered the restaurant. I felt better the moment we left. All I remember was a sickening "fishy" smell. I refused to touch …
