2/26/2013 The Perfect Fish TacosHappy Taco Tuesday everyone!
One meal that always seems to be a crowd pleaser is fish tacos. There's something about fish tacos that just feels festive, exciting, and almost like it's summer . . . ok I know it's only February, but still! My dear friend Hillary shared her delicious Roasted Corn, Avocado & Black Bean Salad recipe with me, and it is the ultimate compliment for our tilapia tacos. This salad/salsa is so easy to throw together, and topping our fish with it makes the tacos so dynamic and flavorful. Add some cilantro, pico de gallo, cheese, or whatever you love in your tacos, and you've got yourself a perfect taco night! We cooked our tilapia on my grill pan, but you can make the fish any way you feel comfortable - bake it, grill it, or saute on the stove with some olive oil. 1/29/2013 Ahi Tuna Tartare - A Perfect Superbowl Snack!Looking for the perfect appetizer to bring to your friend's Superbowl party on Sunday?! This Ahi Tuna Tartare is one of my favorites!! My fabulous guest-star, Lauren, has been my partner-in-crime since 3rd grade when I formally asked her to "be my best friend" on our first day of summer camp. Over the years, our shared love of food and cooking has led us to many disastrous messes in the kitchen (just picture pumpkin-bread batter spilled all over the kitchen counters and floor) . . . but let me promise you - this Ahi is a serious culinary success! Lauren once made this appetizer for a potluck at my apartment, and I have been dying to make it ever since! The fresh ahi, mixed with the soy sauce, lime, and a nutty sesame taste is absolutely delicious and light. Add some avocado to that, and you've got all your bases covered! I mean, wait, wrong sport? This appetizer can be served a variety of ways - check out our cucumber cups. . . I might even venture to call them "superbowls" of cucumber!! Sorry, had to do it!
1/1/2013 Asian Shrimp Stir-FryHappy 2013! Cheers to a fresh start and a fabulous new year! Perhaps 2013 is the year that you are gearing up to start running, or eating healthier, or you're going take a break from all the take-out dinners and instead start cooking at home. Whatever it is, make this YOUR year! There's no better time than now to do all the things you've always wanted. One of my best experiences of 2012 was getting the nerve to launch WeekNight Bite and I am super excited to keep it going with tons of healthy, creative, and delicious recipes for you! Now onto my latest recipe . . . and then I'm off to relax and enjoy my first night of vacation in Cabo! 12/11/2012 Lemon Salmon & Zucchini "Pasta"What a funnnn week it's been since launching WeekNight Bite!! I've received so much positive feedback and support - thank you all!
Since many of you contacted me and requested recipes for low-carb dinners, I am especially excited to share this video with you. I am a serious pasta lover, but it's certainly not low in carbs. I decided to experiment with making a pasta substitute, and it seriously turned out great! My zucchini "pasta" is light and fresh and it pairs perfectly with my lemony salmon. Quick tip when buying salmon: the pre-cut and packaged fillets are often thin on one side and thick on the other, which leads to uneven cooking. At the seafood counter of your grocery store, always ask for a center-cut piece! Ingredients: Lemon Salmon Center-cut salmon fillet (one serving is around 3-5 ounces) - I used a piece big enough for two servings 1 clove of garlic - chopped Extra virgin olive oil - for drizzling Honey - for drizzling 1 lemon - use 1/2 for zest & juice, and other 1/2 for slices Salt/pepper to taste Bake at 400° for 15 minutes (depending on the size of your fillet) or until flaky. To make for an easier clean-up, I always cover my baking dish in foil or use a non-stick baking mat, such as a Silpat. Zucchini "Pasta" Zucchini - 2-3 will make a nice serving - peel into ribbons 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Salt/pepper to taste Freshly shaved parmesan cheese Very important: do not overcook the zucchini! It will get slimy! Just throw it on the stove for a minute to warm it up, add the salt/pepper and parm and it's good to go! ENJOY! I hope you love it!
