Fish That’s not Fishy
A few years ago, we discovered Barramundi, which is a sustainable sea bass. It is a delicious white fish that doesn’t taste fishy at all and doesn’t make you feel guilty for eating it. We really like it, but I tend to shy away from cooking too much fish at home. It’s so delicious and good for you, I need to serve it more often. I shared a recipe for fish tacos using Barramundi with you before and you can find that recipe here. But I was looking for some other ways to serve it. I poked around the internet to find some inspiration and found a recipe for Pecan…

Easy Weeknight Meals for Hot Nights
It is HOT here in NC this week – the heat index has been above 100º all week. As we say here in the South, it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity that makes it so unbearable.

This means we are waking up at 6 am again and I am looking for fast and easy dinner options by the time 6 pm rolls around.

They were made with fresh, grilled fish, some crunchy, tangy Cole slaw, with a bit of spice and a bit of lime. They were simple and delicious. Since then, I have ordered them elsewhere and made…

Grandma Maurine’s Fried Fish
We have just returned from a trip to Minnesota, visiting my husband’s family. July is a beautiful time to visit Minnesota, the temperatures are much cooler than here in the South and there is lots of outdoor fun to be had. If you didn’t know, Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes, so fishing is a big deal. Our girls’ Grandpa has been teaching them to fish since they were tiny, and they got lots of fishing in this visit. While the bigger fish like Bass, Walleye and Northerns are exciting and fun to catch, we are equally content to catch Sunnies and Bluegill. Bluegill are especially rewarding because…
