Olive oil
Shrimp (almost two pounds [...]

When Live Gives You A Lemon, Grab A Lime

Seared Ahi Tuna, Crab Cakes and Scallops

Clarione was in town and we did a small, intimate, impromptu – but super delicious- dinner with him, Holly, Mark and our new roomie Stacy.

Celebrations, Food & Friends

Mark’s 29th Birthday Party + new kitchen renovations = picture story time:

So there wasn’t a real theme to the party other than the fact that we didn’t want to use plates. So Holly, myself, Mark, Jasmine and Clarione designed a “grab and go, or stay” menu.

Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich

Over the weekend, I saw that bitch on Barefoot Contessa make a deliciously simple lookin’ chicken salad sandwich. Seriously, she made it look scrumptious. So tonight, I wanted to do a chicken salad sandwich because it looked that good.
Mark suggested doing a twist to it. “What if we add curry?”
First thought was, “NO! Barefoot didn’t [...]

- Tomatoes
- Light Sour Cream
- Guacamole
