As far as fish sandwiches go, this one is pretty classic. As I did my research for creating this recipe, I found that traditional crispy fried fish with slaw is really the way to go. It just works so well, don’t fix it if it’s not broken (I say that, but I will still try, sigh…life as a food blogger). If you’re not a huge fish fan, or eat a lot of it like I do, this sandwich is a great way to consume more fish without feeling like you are… it’s just a sandwich!

Black and blue is a flavor combination that is hard to beat! Tangy blue cheese and spicy blackening season complement each other so well, it is a classic combination. Before I started to focus on whole foods, I would put blackening seasoning and blue cheese on frozen burgers. This homemade black and blue veggie burger is so much better, and better for you!

I didn’t grow up eating a lot of salads. But boy do I love them now! Anything can be tossed together and called a salad. This salad is traditional in the sense that I use greens to bulk it up. Roasted potatoes and flaky trout make this dish incredibly filling, which is rare to find in a salad. Pair it with the creamy dilled dressing and you have a winner!

Burgers are a favorite dish in my house. I love to play with flavor combinations, and burgers make this so easy. Because it’s a burger you can fold anything into it, and top it with anything that will fit inside the bun. Tangy mustard and sweet apricot compliment one another to make a gourmet burger that’s out of this world!

I needed a quick, single serving, lunch today and this quesadilla hit the mark! I went to the farmers market this morning knowing that I had one tortilla left over in the fridge. I circled like a vulture checking out all the fresh produce trying to decide what I should fill the tortilla with.

I first came across paella in a cooking magazine. It was a seafood paella and used whole lobsters and shrimp. I didn’t know what the dish was at the time, but I could tell it was very extravagant indeed. I was a poor college student and would never be able to afford such a luxury. However, the dish intrigued me and stayed in the back of my mind for some time.
