Today is the inaugural edition of the French Winophiles group started by Christy from Confessions of a Culinary Diva. We start this exploration of French wine regions by focusing on the Loire. I almost had some great stories to tell you about biking along the Loire and visiting chateau to sample the wine region. My friend…

Grilled Swordfish with Kale Pesto is a go to meal in our house! Here’s our basic recipe for the combination; we also like to combine grilled swordfish, pesto and pasta.

Grilled Swordfish Pasta Margherita
Navigating across the buzzing streets of Naples, just missing getting picked off by a moped sever times, was no honeymoon even that was what were there for. After the several flights it took us to get from Kentucky to Italy, we finally made it into to simple little restaurant near our hotel. We were ready…
Simple Grilled Tilapia #SundaySupper
Kids help when it comes to creating special recipes. I appreciate the concept of simplicity reflected in this week’s “5 ingredients or less” #SundaySupper theme, yet that is not necessarily the way I roll when it comes to cooking up something new. When thinking about things to share for this week, I realized even many…
Grilled Halibut with Mango Salsa
Last night was my first time grilling halibut, and I’ll definitely be doing it again! The fish came out moist and tender, while still having plenty of substance. I topped the grilled halibut with mango salsa, and that was definitely a winning combination! The texture of the mangoes went very nicely with the halibut, making…

So I’m going to get this Memorial Day Weekend started by sharing this Grilled Salmon with Portobello Mushrooms recipe. Portobello mushrooms are so easy to work with on the grill, and tasty…
Grilled Swordfish with Pineapple Salsa #SundaySupper
Maybe cooking up a meal from the tropics will make it start feeling warmer here in New England. I sure hope so. Last weekend I finally uncovered the grill, but I needed to layer up to be out tending to the meal. OK, the snow has melted, so I can’t complain too much. Tropical food…
Sicilian Wine for Linguine with Cod and Asparagus
Linguine with Cod and Asparagus is a delicious light seafood pasta dish. The recipe pairs especially well with Grillo, a white wine from Sicily. I was excited to hear the Italian Food Wine & Travel (#ItalianFWT) event would travel to Sicily this month. I don’t have Sicilian wine quite as much as some other regions,…
6 Tasty Fish Recipes #FishFriday
When I was growing up, my family generally observed the practice of meatless Fridays during Lent. Yet that didn’t mean fish–my parents were turned off by getting the same bland fish every Friday during their own childhood. So it was usually a meatless pasta dish of some sort on Fridays. But as a grownup, I’ve…
Salmon with Mango Salsa #SundaySupper
So I’m not super-original featuring a salmon dish for this Heart Healthy #SundaySupper. Great cooks think alike, I suppose! I could have chosen something a bit more creative, like this Linguine with Meatless Meat Sauce I made recently. But we love salmon here, so the more salmon recipes the better! And I do believe I’m…
