Cuban Tilapia {Third Coast Inspired}
Way back when, when I was much younger, I would frequent a neighborhood hole-in-the-wall kind of place every Friday night (there really were holes in the wall, each with a detailed story). This place was special. It had extreme character and characters, beautifully colorful people and hand-painted murals of them, free flowing spirits and free spirited bar tenders, bathroom walls that told stories through their ‘underwater’ paintings, Calypso music throughout and a patio with thatched umbrella tables overlooking…..the parking lot. And did I mention a kitchen manager that aimed to please. Oh yes, the later in the evening you hung in….the more creative he became. And that is where this Cuban Tilapia recipe was born. One LATE Friday night….many…

Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burgers
Is there anything better than a good burger? Okay yes… there are some things, but on the rare occasion that we actually make beef burgers (vs. turkey or salmon) they are such a huge treat. Whether you lay them on a bed of greens or perched on a toasted onion roll they are amazing. Top them with a slice of nutty pungent Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and a couple of strips of crispy bacon…. Mushroom Bacon Swiss Burgers = WINNING!!

Bloody Mary Dressing {with Shrimp & Avocado Salad}
Nothing like a good spicy Bloody Mary to wake up the taste buds and catch your attention. Gosh I love them. Now that the whole world is caught in a smoothie, vegenator, super blender craze I envision the Bloody Mary reborn. We’ve already fallen in love with Green Bloody Mary’s and recently enjoyed a version made with Sake as well. I think I need to dedicate an entire post to Bloody Mary’s or better yet cocktail inspired recipes, but for today we’ll focus on this lovely Bloody Mary Dressing.

Green Bloody Mary
The Bloody Mary has come a long way baby from tomato juice & vodka. The myriad of spices and seasonings and sauces that can transform this drink is endless. If I only owned a juicer….just think how cool and colorful Mary could become (hint hint). Today we’ll stick with our every day humble blender and create a fresh crisp Green Bloody Mary.
