The secrets to a really tasty piece of blackened fish are 1) a really tasty Creole seasoning, and 2) not overcooking the fish. I use a slightly modified version of Emeril’s recipe for Creole Seasoning – because he should know, right? The seasoning is easy to make fresh with your own spices, and it’s really… Continue reading Pan-Seared, Blackened Flounder

Seared Sea Scallops over Zucchini Ribbons with Goat Cheese
This is the first weekend we’ve had in Atlanta that really felt like spring, with temperatures warm enough to sit outside comfortably in the sunshine without shivering. There are trees and flowers bursting out with blooms and things are getting greener by the day. Nice time of year to be in the Southeast!

Zucchini Noodles with Beurre Blanc Sauce
Who’s a fool for sauce? I don’t know about you, but if there’s a sauce or condiment I can drench my food with, I will do it. My husband, not so much.

I love hushpuppies – and I hope I can figure out some gluten-free way way of making them… Continue reading Baked Flounder with Lemon-Pepper Seasoning
Seared Scallops with Apple Cider-Balsamic Glaze
With this heat wave, I needed something relatively light for dinner – so off I went to the seafood counter. It just seems cooler over there, with the long display of sea creatures nestled in iced-down trays. The scallops were calling my name, all sweetness and light in their plump milky-whiteness. Ok, they didn’t really… Continue reading Seared Scallops with Apple Cider-Balsamic Glaze
