Pan seared scallops aren't on the menu very often - why? Because they're like $3.00 each! Occassionally we'll pick a few up to accompany something else. They're super quick, easy, and delicious. My husband and I don't have the same taste in TV. If it was his choice, he'd have the Speed channel on 24/7. Me, I'd rather be watching reality TV (guilty pleasure ok?). The only thing we can compromise on is watching cooking shows, so naturally, that's usually whats on our TV. My husband picked up ...

How to Cook Planked Great Lakes Whitefish in the Oven
The absolute best whitefish I've ever had was in Kilarney, Canada a little town on the Northern Shore of the Georgian Bay in Ontario. You literally watch the fishing boats coming in, they take the whitefish, clean them, and then bring them out to an old red school bus turned food stand where they fry it. The second best, from Charlevoix, MI, where I've vacationed since I was born. That's where I was introduced to planked fish - which I recreate at home all the time! It makes for a light and ...
Roasted Corn with Jalapeno and Lime: Summer Side Dish Recipe
I'm quite the baby when it comes to spicy food but every year I decide to grow jalapenos and then feel guilty if I don't use them. I had a few that turned red which means they need to be picked.

Some Great Lakes Whitefish and roasted corn with jalapenos. My hubby and I had an amazing corn side dish at Michael Jordan's ...
Gluten Free, Soy Free, Diary Free Dinner Recipe: Pork Tenderloin with a Tart Cherry Sauce
It's cherry season! The last few weeks I've been eyeing the tart cherries at the farmers market. After eating about 2 pounds of sweet cherries after a 4th of July trip to Traverse City, MI. I decided it was time for me to try tart cherries - they taste like crap uncooked. Time to create some recipes! My first, a sweet and savory Pork Tenderloin with a Tart Cherry Sauce. This turned out AMAZING! In fact, my husband and I liked it so much that I've decided to can some tart cherry jam and freeze ...
Gluten Free, Soy Free, Pork Asian Pot Sticker Recipe
So, what are they exactly? Are they Asian pot stickers? Gyozas? Asian dumplings? Chinese dumplings? I'm not exactly sure. All I know is this is one of the few times I created a perfect gluten free, soy free recipe on try #1 (this recipe is actually cane sugar free too!) and quite frankly, I don't really care to categorize them because these turned out SO AMAZING that I'm never making any changes. I've said it before and I'll say it again.... the type of food I miss the most is Asian - ...
