Since fish is pretty much the best choice when it comes to picking a protein, I am always playing around with different methods of preparing it. This one happens to be my newest favorite. There are just so many layers of flavor and texture, beautifully wrapped into one easy to prepare dish. This fork-tender fish…
A spin on the traditional meat-and-potatoes manly meal, these meatballs were made with both my Cowboy, and my little one in mind. Everything is more fun in the shape of a ball! And just as I hoped, they both gave me rave reviews. As if their clean plates and requests for seconds didn’t say enough…
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and in my case, a baby is following closely behind. So Cowboy is taking me to Destin for my Mother’s Day present / babymoon. With the beach on the brain, I have been stuck on seafood all week. I cooked up a delicious shrimp stir-fry, some pan fried cod…

Ever since I can remember, my family has celebrated many occasions at a local Chinese restaurant called Dynasty. As many times as I have eaten there, I have never once ordered the Coconut Crystal Shrimp….until a couple of weeks ago. It was absolutely divine! The sauce was so good you could drink it. In fact,…
Growing up in Georgia, I have had my share of fried foods. Fried chicken, fried fish, and fried STEAK. And what would these crispy slabs of meat be without their cream gravy companion? Fried chicken was one of the first things I set out to “paleotize”. That method turned out to work wonders, and I have…
Spinach and Artichokes are such a delicious combination. In my teen years, I worked at Panera Bread Company, when they still had their original Turkey Artichoke Panini. It was all kinds of awesome. I used to bring one home with me every day when I got off work. I was also the heaviest I’d ever…
