Chili Lime Baked Cod
Chili Lime Baked Cod is a delicious, healthy recipe that will please the entire family Those that know me know that I am not a huge “fish” person. That being said, I am trying to become a bit healthier and am aware how important fish is to a good diet. This was something I came up with after seeing a couple other recipes that looked pretty good. It is very flavorful and extremely easy and quick to make. When making it I mixed all of the spices together and rubbed them on to 2 pieces of cod. I thought it would be even better if I put it in the…

Spicy Thai Noodles With Shrimp I absolutely love recipes that allow you to use those leftover veggies you have hanging around in the refrigerator. This recipe is just so versatile and delicious.

I reworked this recipe a bit from what it was originally. Like I said at the beginning of this post, this recipe is…

Rockin Red Beans and Rice
Red beans and rice, originated in Louisiana and in the old South, was typically made on Monday’s. This is because on Sunday there was usually a big supper after church and it usually included ham or beef which gave left over bones and a bit of meat. Monday was typically wash day. Of course, back then they didn’t have washing machines so washing clothes took a great deal of time between using a washboard and tub, then ringing the clothes and finally hanging them. Supper needed to be something that didn’t take a great deal of attention, hence, Red Beans & Rice! I know these days we don’t have to…
