Friends, do you like foods that are slow cooked in butter until golden brown and cripsy? Then served with a savory lemon caper sauce? If you answered yes, you are going to love this trout piccata with green beans and rice!
Picatta is an Italian dish that is traditionally made with chicken that is pounded thin, dredged in flour, browned, and served with a lemon caper sauce and pasta. Trout makes a perfect pescetarian stand-in for the chicken in this classic dish. Continue reading
In the recent months I have been cleaning out the freezer. Therefore, I have been eating a lot of trout, and loving every bite! I adapted this feta and dill crusted trout recipe from another favorite trout recipe, Dijon crusted trout.
Adding a crunchy topping to fish makes it feel like something else entirely. I guess thats why fish sticks were/are so common. If you don’t care for the texture of fish, try it topped with panko and seasonings! Continue reading

October is finally here, and the garden is starting to wind down. It’s that time of year when I have more cherry tomatoes than I know what to do with! This year I experimented with this cherry tomato pasta puttanesca.
Puttanesca is known as the poor man meal in early Italy. It has simple ingredients that bring in big flavors. Canned tomatoes are more traditional, but I gave this simple Italian dish a fresh spin by using garden fresh cherry tomatoes. Continue reading

This cold dinner idea is perfect for summer. We enjoyed this cold cucumber crab noodle bowl after mowing the lawn. It filled us up without heating us up, and it only required 2 1/2 minutes of cooking!
The serving size on these bowls is on the large size. I used this meal as post-work out dinner, so lots of carbs and protein were appreciated. However, the recipe as written could be split into 3 servings for a lighter meal. Continue reading

I was introduced to lingonberry when I married into a Norwegian family. It is a tangy fruit, much like cranberries or currents. I made this Norwegian cod grain bowl with lingonberry and dill to explore some classic Norwegian flavor combinations.
I made this recipe with cod, because it is a traditional Norwegian fish. However, I recommend shopping for pacific cod, because Atlantic cod is not a sustainable choice, as their populations have been over fished.
