I wanted to do something different with some Mahi fillets. I sauteed them with adobo sauce and then topped them with chopped pineapple and tomatos. I served the mahi mahi on a bed of shredded zucchini which I cooked in olive oil and parmesan cheese – tasty – served alongside a baked potato – it [...]

Here is a shot of my dinner tonight. We went to a boy scout cook-out, where the kids were learning how to start a fire and cook on it. I think they did a fine job!
I didn’t take a pic of the smores, but they were good, too.

On a slightly less negative note, I did attempt both the apple/cheddar soup and the pumpkin bars.
The soup was not good. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this wasn’t it. I [...]

The last of the blue crab was polished off tonight in the form of crab ravioli with a tomato cream sauce. I was out of town all weekend and came home inspired (after eating in restaurants for a weekend) to cook a nice dinner. I decided to try my hand at crab ravioli. I used [...]

I decided to make grilled cheese sandwiches and potato soup. One really can’t go wrong with the grilled cheese/soup combo. In my defense, I [...]

2 1/2 cup of all purpose [...]
