We just spent most of the weekend grazing rather than actually making meals, so we made a nice grilled dinner tonight. I got some fresh white corn and some halibut fillets, and then I saw these humongous shrimp on a super sale since they were getting close to their ...

Happy Mother's Day! We could not be with our mothers today, but we still wanted to have a nice dinner in honor of them. I grilled up some top round tip steaks with my galbi marinade (pretty good, but the marinade is better on the thin flanken-cut short ...

This is a great way to enjoy shrimp in the summertime. The flavors are reminiscent of a margarita with spice instead of sweet. I sometimes omit the tequila or add various other finely minced fresh herbs - basil and oregano work well. We served this with the ...

These were a nice light meal, satisfying without being too heavy. They're reminiscent of the tacos we could get in San Diego and that are popular along the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
I'm submitting these to Joelen's Foodie Films: Tortilla Soup event.

Tonight's dinner was Tortilla Crusted Tilapia and Lime Cilantro Rice, like the rice you get at Chipotle or Qdoba, with some chili beans.
This was an experiment, as we'd never tried either recipe before. It wasn't bad, but we both found ourselves wishing for a simpler fish inside ...

I saw this recipe on Elizabeth's Edible Experience and just had to make it right away. Shaun's out for some late nights with work, so I get to experiment in the kitchen, and this has many ingredients that I love that he isn't too fond of, such as artichokes, ...

One of our stand-by dinners tonight - very similar to the seafood fra diavolo recipe posted earlier, but with a pound of 31-40 size shrimp instead of the seafood mix. I didn't have a can of roasted tomatoes, so I just used two cans of regular diced tomatoes.

Swai is a type of mild white fish, slightly sweet and almost egg-y tasting, that is farmed mostly in southeast Asia. It is also called Basa or Vietanmese Catfish, though it is not related ...

These are a very easy appetizer or meal that looks and tastes like you spent a long time preparing. The key with such simple recipes is to get high quality ingredients since each one stands out. I got 31-40 size easy-peel shrimp and defrosted them and peeled them ...

For dinner last night we had some fresh steamed dungeness crab. They're just coming into season and are now quite affordable at the grocery store. They're a great local treat, but it is a lot of messy work to get at the meat, especially if you're unfamiliar with ...
