It has been a while since I’ve felt motivated and inspired to add something new, like these delicious crab stuffed mushrooms, to the Daily Dish. It’s certainly not because I haven’t been cooking, as that is my daily reality, cooking fresh, real food meals for my family every day. It’s really more that I, like…
Low Carb Jambalaya – a quick and easy weekend dinner
This quick and easy low carb jambalaya was today’s solution to satisfying Steve’s craving for some spicy southern food. It also was a great way to whip up a tasty dinner in a hurry after an already busy day in the kitchen. We enjoy making fermented sausages like salami and chorizo and after spending a…
Spicy Creole Shrimp
Can you think of a less Thanksgiving-like meal than Spicy Creole Shrimp? Since my brother offered to host our family’s Thanksgiving dinner this weekend, that left Steve and I free to do, well, nothing in particular. I have a love hate relationship with nothing-to-do. When I’m busy and feeling tossed in a dozen directions I wish…
Lemony Grilled Seafood
The last few days in the foothills have been just spectacular. Warm, still weather has kept the colourful leaves from dropping or just being blown off the trees, which is often what happens here. It has given me time to clean up the garden slowly and to enjoy whatever time we may still have enjoying…
Grilled Salmon With Garlic Scape Pesto
Tonight was one of those ‘what should we do for dinner?’ nights. It’s hot and I wasn’t feeling very motivated but I have a fridge full of garden and market goodness that I really don’t want to see go to waste. It’s such a first world problem… Earlier in the day I had harvested my…
Smoky Paprika Salmon
We were soooo lucky earlier in the year to be the recipient of some fabulous (flash frozen) wild sockeye salmon caught by a work colleague of Steve’s. His colleague loves to fish but is unable to eat his catch due to an allergy to salmon. How sad for him, and how fortuitous for us! With…
Almost Paleo Paella
Someday I’d like to eat my way through Spain. Authentic paella would definitely be on my list of must try foods as many of the paellas that I’ve ordered in restaurants have been fairly, well – meh. Although it isn’t particularly authentic, my homemade Paella is one of Steve’s favourite dishes. That’s because it is…
Seafood Stuffed Avocados
Since going Paleo I’ve discovered that I really like avocado, like really like it. It’s a bit of a revelation for me since I’ve always been kind of luke-warm on them in the past. I don’t exactly dislike them and I think they are fine in guacamole, but have never been a big enough fan to…
Mussels with Tomato, Garlic and Italian Sausage
Do you ever peruse the grocery isles and wish that someone would invent some kind of new food. Not one of those frankenfoods that lurk in the interior isles of the supermarket, just a new food. Hmmm, what to have for dinner…Pork, meh. Beef, had that last night. Chicken, chicken, chicken. Fish, maaayybbeee. Then your…
