In the month of May I'm going to be featuring only vegetarian recipes and some of them will include seafood. My mission is to prove to myself mostly, that there are many options when it comes to vegetarian dishes. To start this off, I've made this yummy halibut soup. I don't make fish soup often but sometimes I get in the mood for something different and recently I've been wanting to make a fish soup for qu ...

Ever wonder what Puttanesca means? Well I recently found out while watching the foodnetwork channel. However the history of pasta Puttanesca has many colorful Italian folk tales. The word itself Puttana in Italian means whore. One of these such tales, suggest that a restaurant owner had many such "whore" guests come to his restaurant to eat late at night as he was about to close. As he didn't have enough of ...

I came home from work tonight, only to be surprised by my husband with dinner. I love it when he does this. Honestly I don't care what he makes, just the fact that he makes dinner is more than enough for me. Tonight he surprised me with this wonderful tuna salad with pecans and raisins. He made a couple sandwiches with it and I gobbled it up, it was so delicious. I wish there would be left overs so I can ta ...

I have to admit, whenever the TV is on at home, it's always on the food network channel. Pretty sad, eh? But I love it, I have a few favorite shows that I watch a lot.  It drives my husband crazy, though sometimes he'll get hooked, he'll sit and watch Iron Chef with me every once in a while. :) One thing I see a lot is recipes for fish tacos and I have to admit, I've never had a fish taco before, but I love ...

If you're not a fan of smoked salmon you will not like these quesadillas. Of course you could always substitute chicken instead of salmon and they would be just as great. I call these quesadillas mini because I used small 6" corn tortillas for them and they ware so adorable and delectable. Quesadillas are one of my favorites, probably because of the cheese, I love anything with cheese on it. :D I got this i ...

Summer is coming and I'm trying to lose a few pounds. That's why you've been seeing healthier recipes here. Lots of salads and lower fat foods. Well today is no exception. I don't think my husband and I eat enough fish, so every once in a while I will cook it, even though he mumbles and grumbles, though he will eat it and like it. Today I prepared this healthier version of Sole Meuniere. I didn't want to dr ...

Well now that Easter is done and over with, how about a more healthy dinner idea? Tonight I made this delicious sole fish with pea salad, nice and healthy and couldn't be any easier to make. My husband is not a big fan of fish, he's a big fan of pork, but he loved this dish, and as a matter of fact it was his idea to make fish. For this dish you could use tilapia or halibut, but I had fresh sole fish, so th ...

Well it's time for some seafood dishes, so I decided to make some shrimp scampi. The term scampi is the name of a dish of shrimp served in garlic butter and dry white wine, served either with bread, or over pasta or rice, although sometimes just the shrimp alone. Now my husband is not a big fan of pasta dishes, but I wanted him to eat this as well, so I thought the best way to get him to eat this is to add ...

I had some cans of crab meat and I was wondering what to do with it, so I decided to make some crab cakes.  I personally love crab cakes, though I'm not always looking forward to making them, since I they tend to be a bit difficult when forming them, it's hard to make them hold together.  Anyway I really wanted some crab cakes so I ended up making them. I must say they turned out pretty good, and I really e ...

If you love tuna salad, I guarantee you'll love this tuna salad.  It's a bit different than your traditional tuna salad with mayonnaise but much better, at least I think so.  I must admit I didn't make this, my husband made this today and I made him give me the recipe, because I just couldn't stop eating it, it was that good.  And not only I loved it, my dog did, I knew cats loved tuna, but I had no idea do ...
