Watermelon Gazpacho and Grilled Shrimp

Posted on July 10, 2012 by m&m

In the summer, we all switch over to cold soups, which I don’t really enjoy all that much. I’m not a big fan of raw onion or raw garlic, so gazpacho has never been a favorite…until now. A little bit of heat with the juicy tomatoes and the refreshing watermelon makes a delicious summer soup … Continue reading »

BBQ Chicken and Homemade Barbeque Sauce

Posted on June 11, 2012 by m&m

I found it surprisingly hard to take pictures of BBQ chicken. For some reason, chicken just doesn’t seem that photogenic. Plus, it took a lot of willpower to keep myself from eating it immediately. If you’ve never made your own BBQ sauce, you should try it next weekend. It’s so much better than bottled, and … Continue reading »

Crab Imperial Dip

Posted on April 2, 2012 by m&m

After the crab cakes and spicy crab pasta, I wanted to make a version of crab imperial I saw on Saveur. I changed it quite a bit, and it really became more dip than main course. I will definitely be trying something like this again because it’s one of the few dips that doesn’t use … Continue reading »

Fiesta Fish Tacos

Posted on March 31, 2012 by m&m

Mexican food always means a party. There’s a time and place for (Italian) comfort food when I’m looking for a pick-me-up, and then there’s time for fish tacos and margaritas. I love these because they’re not so heavy, and I can make them quickly and concentrate on spending time with friends. Plus, when margaritas are … Continue reading »

Chili Rubbed Shrimp and Grilled Corn with Manchego and Lime

Posted on August 5, 2011 by m&m

I don’t make spicy food that often, but I was craving some spicy grilled shrimp the other night. I had also picked up some fresh corn from the farmers market, but I didn’t want to do boring old corn on the cob. I usually do an Italian spin on corn salad or even a cheesy version, … Continue reading »

Galician Grilled Octopus

Posted on July 5, 2011 by m&m

On a trip to Galicia, Spain, I had grilled octopus almost every day and realized I actually like it. It’s even better with some roasted potatoes with paprika. Cast iron gives it a great char and takes away the chewiness that I always associated with octopus. But there’s no getting over the fact that it … Continue reading »

Corn Pudding Gratin

Posted on June 10, 2011 by m&m

This recipe was the product of having corn and wanting to do something different without looking up a recipe. It’s a cross between a gratin and a corn pudding, and it was really good. Sort of sweet, part savory, and definitely cheesy. Looking forward to the leftovers!! Corn Pudding Gratin 2 ears corn, kernels removed … Continue reading »
