  • Brisket Dinner

    Grabbed food from Locale Market last night. It actually wasn’t our first choice. We wanted to go to Chief’s Creole Cafe but they, along with the bbq joint next door, were rented out for a private event. I’ve had brisket from Locale at least three other times and each time it was soooooo good! Mouth-watering…

  • Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

    This past Saturday I had the pleasure of making pancakes for breakfast. My husband and I tend to stick to more protein & veggie based breakfasts rather than faux-grain based. The exception would be for primal biscuits but those are always served with eggs and sausage/bacon/ham. My husband grew tired of coconut flour pancakes that…

  • Steak…. it’s been waaaaaayy too long!

    I had it in my mind that I’ve been eating too much red meat. Not sure why because looking back we’ve mostly been eating chicken, salmon and pork. Mostly chicken. I’m a little tired of chicken.

  • Chicken “Pasta”

    I had spaghetti squash and chicken thighs. I went on Pinterest and typed “chicken pasta” for ideas. I didn’t want to make straight up alfredo because my husband isn’t too keen on creamy sauce dishes. I envy his natural gravitation toward tomato-based soups and sauces. Anyway, the recipe I found was from www.cookingclassy.com. Lemon Ricotta…

  • Fajitas (sorta)

    Tuesday night I made chicken fajitas and threw them on top of a bed of romaine lettuce and red cabbage! On the side we had guacamole from Trader Joe’s and organic,full-fat grass-fed Greek yogurt for sour cream. We rarely use sour cream so I don’t buy it unless I specifically plan to use a lot…

    There are seriously very few items in my refrigerator. Beach traffic was nuts earlier so I didn’t want to leave home to shop or pick something up. I had murat of what I needed for a delicious egg salad and since I haven’t had egg salad in over 2.5 years I decided to whip up…

  • Pesto Salmon

    This past Saturday I discovered the yumminesss that is pesto. How I have avoided pesto all these years to not have known how incredible it is, is beyond me. I made lamb meatballs with a pesto sauce that should’ve gone with noodles but I was making a quick pre-beach snack. Anyway I wanted more pesto…
