Classic Shrimp Salad With a Twist

March 9, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Classic Shrimp Salad

Having a recipe in your arsenal that you can use in a variety of ways depending on what’s in your kitchen, how many guests unexpectedly show up at your door, or the number of calories you want to consume, comes in handy. This shrimp salad is one of those recipes. . . Shrimp is the…

Tips on Cooking Fish

March 2, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

How to Cook Fish

I’m often asked about the best way to cook fish at home. . .it seems that folks have had bad experiences doing so, with horror stories including overcooked fillets, dry edges with raw centers, fish stuck to the pan, and that ever-popular one about lingering smells of ‘fishiness’ in the house. While I’m no expert,…

Rosemary-Garlic-Lemon Marinated Veggies

February 23, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Marinated Veggies

My garden is thriving, thanks to milder temps in Florida this time of year. It has been an eventful few months, including lots of work prepping beds, composting, planting, staking, weeding and watering, while suffering a few tragedies due to record-cold temps (the squash gave up and the bunching onions, well, they bit the dust),…

Asian Tuna Burger

February 16, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Asian Tuna Burger

“You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can’t Tuna Fish” Makes you want to keep reading, doesn’t it?!? When I sat down to write this post, I was stumped — I wanted to write about my new tuna recipe, but didn’t know how to start. So, I tapped into my fisherman hubby for inspiration, asking…

Orange-Infused Chocolate Covered Fruit

February 9, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Every shop I visited over the last week has been well-stocked with treats for the big day — Valentine’s Day, that is. All those treats looked so delicious – chocolate covered Rice Krispies treats, heart-shaped cookies, chocolate covered pretzels/cookies/dried fruit, things on sticks, things in stacks, tiny bags of cinnamon hearts (one of my faves),…

Dear Abby Meatloaf

February 2, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Dear Abby Meatloaf

Today’s post is about one of my all-time favorite comfort foods — meatloaf.   I’ve been down with a nasty head cold, so this loaf of meat provided much-needed comfort in my dark hours, and it always reminds me of a warm hug from mom. I’ve made many different versions of meatloaf, but I always…

A Super Grouper Sandwich

January 26, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Grouper Sandwich Blackened

The grouper sandwich. Blackened, fried, grilled, baked or broiled, it’s a classic, must-have sandwich when you visit Florida. It’s also something you order when you’re lucky enough to live here and you decide to play tourist by heading to a beach-side restaurant, soaking up the sun and sipping a fruity cocktail. I’ve done it, and…

Star Fruit, Ginger & Lemon Tea

January 19, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Star fruit tea

I was planning to post something this week using more of those in-season strawberries, maybe something a little different, like strawberry gazpacho. Sounds good, right? Well, I tossed that aside as chilly temps enveloped Florida and I found myself not only digging through storage boxes for my warm clothes, but also, turning the thermostat to…

Roasted Strawberry-Basil Dressing

January 12, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

Roasted Strawberry Dressing

It’s Florida strawberry season, a time to enjoy berries from local growers!  I was anxious to make something, and my first thought was a dish I haven’t done on the blog yet, like shortcake or pie — both delicious, but I’m trying to eat fewer sweets, as I’m sure many of you are. Which leads…

January 5, 2018 by Nicole Coudal

February 16 marks the start of the Chinese New Year (a.k.a the Lunar New Year), a time to not only celebrate at festivals, but also, to enjoy time with family at a dinner some consider the most important meal of the year. The Chinese New Year is based on the movements of the moon and…

New Year’s Grapes

December 28, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Grapes of Good Luck

We’re already on the verge of a new year! How did that happen?!? This time of year makes me reflect on what I’ve done over the last twelve months, as well as, the possibilities for the next twelve months which, for me, includes all the delicious food I’ll taste, learn about, cook and share 🙂…

Cooking with Friends

December 22, 2017 by Nicole Coudal

Sharing time with friends in a kitchen is special. It’s even better when one is teaching you how to cook something you’ve never cooked before, and it’s ideal when one of the folks is one gal’s mother. And that’s exactly what happened over the summer, when my mom and I were invited by her friend…
