Seafood Chowder

Seafood chowder

Seafood Chowder I first had this amazing seafood chowder (well a similar version of it) at a friends house a few months ago.  Seafood chowder was a meal that I guess I had never really had before.  I like seafood quite a lot and so I was looking forward to trying something new!  I couldn’t quite put my finger on why, but it was one of the most delicious meals I had ever had!  We had some great conversation and some good wine.  But I couldn’t stop thinking about that…

Sweet and Spicy Fish Tacos

fish Tacos

Sweet and Spicy Fish Tacos Sweet and spicy flavors make these fish tacos extra special.  You can easily make them gluten-free, and you can adjust the “spiciness” of the recipe for the kiddos if you need to.  Fast, easy, and delicious is ALWAYS what I am looking for in a recipe! Pro tip: I live in New Mexico and it is really hard to find good fresh fish.  I like to use the individually wrapped frozen fillets of white fish.  You can thaw them quickly by placing them with their…
