The strangest things happen somedays when talking about the weekend. I was talking about my recent trip to Omaha, NE and lamenting the fact that for perhaps the second time ever, I left Omaha without stopping by Runza. My friend immediately responded by asking “What’s a Runza?” *gasp* *lights out* What’s a Runza??? So, in […]
Tilapia in a Burrito Tilapia is one of my favorite fishes. It’s a light fish, it’s delicate, and it can be fried up and turned into fish tacos. What more can one fish do? Of course, some will argue that a fish burrito sounds even better than a fish taco. Try this recipe and see […]
Korean Salmon So, I totally stole this idea from our family favorite all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. It’s so simple and packs some really big Korean flavors. It’s really no surprise that salmon, which has some pretty strong flavors itself, stands up really well the flavors in Korean bean paste. Please do note, though, that the recipe […]
Monkfish First, let’s clear up the confusion. That’s not a monkfish. That’s stained glass that a monk might see. I have chosen to spare you because monkfish are super ugly looking. Even when they’re broken down. Fortunately, they have a taste like shrimp-mixed-with-lobster with a meaty texture that I think is perfect for people who […]
Tuna Salad and Banana Balsamic Vinaigrette There is a tuna salad at Houlihan’s that combines tuna, wasabi and a banana vinaigrette that is one of my favorite salads in the world. It’s also probably my favorite salad that is actually healthy. That salad is the perfect mixture of sweet banana and spicy wasabi and savory […]
So, for the past few days, we’ve considered whether the Porterhouse or avocados are the perfect Valentine’s Day food. At the end of the day, I have come to my senses and I have realized that there is only one perfect food for Valentine’s Day: chocolate. According to Delish, we’re going to eat 58 million […]

Because Valentine’s Day is on a weekday, here’s a set it and forget it Valentine’s Day menu. Go with something classic: steaks with red wine! A romantic healthy salad for those […]
Maybe there can only be one perfect Valentine’s Day food and maybe not. Yesterday, I was pretty sure the Porterhouse steak is perfect for Valentine’s Day (because it’s really two steaks in one and, therefore, perfect for sharing.) Then I got to thinking…maybe it’s not a steak, maybe it’s actually an avocado. You see the […]
So, I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I’ve decided that the perfect Valentine’s Day food is the porterhouse steak. I mean look at that monster. After it gets grilled up, it’s going to be peppery, earthy, and delicious. You may be thinking beef is always a good meal, but why is it the […]
Egg Salad Dip The idea for this dip came from that beautiful image and our family’s obsession with deviled eggs. I mean we really, really like deviled eggs, but sometimes I find there’s more steps to make them that I would like. Am I being whiney? Yes. Do I still hate filling the hard boiled […]
