Foodbuzz Wild Alaska Seafood Cook It Frozen Challenge

oven baked halibut

I am honored to say, my friends, that this recipe for oven baked halibut with fresh peach salsa isn’t just a recipe I dreamed up for no good reason. Of course, my brilliant ability to be all Rachel Ray like contributed but I’m writing this recipe because I was chosen by Foodbuzz (my sponsor) as [...]

Juice Sweetened Peach Freezer Jam

freezer jam

Nothing screams summer quite like fresh, ripe peaches so when I got ten pounds of them from my CSA, I knew I wanted to make freezer jam to preserve to keep the summer alive for months to come. The last time I made jam, I made strawberry agave jam and it was a huge success. [...]

Simple Lemon Cod

lemon cod

This simple lemon cod recipe is not only delicious but you can get it on the table in less than 15 minutes, prep time and all. And that is my kind of recipe, people. I’ve been slacking in the Paula Deen Challenge department lately because we have been doing a bit of a quasi pantry [...]

Fresh Peach Coconut Milk Ice Cream

peach coconut milk ice cream

When I was a kid, homemade peach ice cream littered the summers with smiles and sweetness. We had some friends of the family that ran a vegetable farm and every year they had a huge family reunion. Though we weren’t family, we were always invited and we always made peach ice cream. I can remember [...]

Dark Chocolate Coconut Milk Ice Cream

This dark chocolate coconut milk ice cream recipe is actually a re-do of my first one. I was actually going to get a little crazy and make something new and when I got in the kitchen and starting playing around, I realized that there was some room for improvement in my first version of chocolate [...]

Pan Fried Potatoes

I had pan fried potatoes for the first time about 10 or so years ago, I know, it is kind of a shame that I’d never had them before. Now days, it is one of my favorite ways to prepare them. As with most anything else I make, the ingredients are simple and you probably [...]

Blueberry Pancakes

I love the kind of weekends that are long and slow with plenty of time for blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Especially now when blueberry season is in full swing. There is something about making pancakes that feels so special. I used to make pancakes with my grandmother as a really small child and remember her [...]

Pomegranate Spritzer

pomegranate spritzer

This pomegranate spritzer is the perfect drink for a hot summer evening. When I started the Paula Deen Challenge, this was honestly one of the first recipes I wanted to make and for some reason, it took me a few weeks to get it made. I only had to make slight modifications since the ingredients [...]

Pomegranate Chicken

pomegranate chicken

I’m on a quasi pantry and freezer challenge and by fluke, I was able to come up with this pomegranate chicken recipe. Pomegranate juice isn’t something we keep on hand but we had a bottle because it goes into a recipe for my Paula Deen Challenge and knew I wanted to get creative with some [...]

Salmon with Honey BBQ Glaze

I’m hard pressed to call this Salmon with honey bbq glaze a recipe since it is only a couple of ingredients, but around my house, those are the best kind. In fact, I am the queen of making simple salmon recipes because it cooks so quickly and almost anything you put on top will taste [...]
