Seasonal Recipe: Fava Bean Crab Dip

Fava Bean Crab Dip

This recipe is so completely random I am not even sure where to begin.  I mean seriously, fava bean crab dip?  Did I really make this?  The answer is yes and it is incredibly flavorful and scrumptious.  And yes, I did just use the word scrumptious. First things first, what in the world is a [...]

Salmon with French Sorrel Yogurt Sauce

Salmon with French Sorrel Yogurt Sauce

What I especially love about cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients is that they make your job in the kitchen so much easier.  With just a few seasonings and key ingredients, you can create a simple dish in less than 20 minutes that is incredibly flavorful and fulfilling.  The fresh ingredients speak for themselves and don’t [...]

Dutch-Oven Simple Fish

I realized that I hadn’t shared many seafood one-pot options since I started this endeavor a couple of months ago.  This seems especially silly given that we are currently living right on the ocean.  What’s even worse is that we just discovered an incredible local fish market this weekend and we are moving again in [...]

Creamy Cajun Shrimp Linguine

I think I need to rename this month’s theme to complete dinners, because I keep using two pans. I’m not trying to cheat I promise, it just keeps happening. Even with two pans in play, the end result is a complete meal that comes together in less than 20 minutes, so I think you may [...]

Kebabs 1 night=Dinner for 3 nights!

I am excited to say things are busy here at Kate’s Thoughts for Food as I prepare to launch new product offerings next week.  I’ve been a busy bee teaching myself CSS design to update my site (what was I thinking??) and educating myself on new products.  The good news is that I will be [...]

Bourbon + Salmon=Delicious

When deciding what to fix for Good Friday, I realize that a dish involving bourbon doesn’t always rush to the top of the list.  But then again, you may have never fixed the dish I am sharing today.   Although it may have lacked the solemnity required for Good Friday, it didn’t lack in the flavor [...]

Supremely Perfect Fish Tacos

I adore fish tacos.  There is no other way to say it.  I crave them on a daily basis, which is crazy when you think that a couple of years ago you couldn’t even get me to try one.  Fish in a taco?  Yuck!  That was back in the days when I though strawberries were [...]

Sweet and Spicy Citrus Tilapia

I love fish and its health benefits cannot be denied.  Fish is low in fat and cholesterol and high in beneficial DHA omega 3 oils; things all of us could benefit from.  I recommend trying to incorporate at least one serving of fish into your diet each week; add more if possible!  There are so [...]

Herb Coated Tilapia

Well I guess it is better late than never to share the yummy dish we fixed for Meatless Monday.  (I know!  I was shocked I actually did it on the right day too!)  And it’s a perfect low-calorie dish to share for the month of January.  Two birds, one stone! I found this recipe a [...]
