Coconut Almond Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Orange Sauce
Coconut Almond Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Orange Sauce. Tonight marks the end of the 4th of July Holiday week. And if you’re anything like me, you’ve been milking it for everything it’s worth. We have spent the last 36 hours on “vacation” at our good friend’s new lake home. Tucked away miles from the hustle and bustle (yet less than an hour from home), sits their beautifully peaceful retreat. We rolled in jet ski adventures, with big laughs, a great dinner, porch sitting, and Breakfast at Wimbledon. Just perfect!

Cuban Stuffed Pork Chop {with Sweet Potato Chips}
Sometimes a recipe comes to you… Wow! What kind of intro is that?! Recipes come to me in my sleep, in line at the seafood counter, checkout counter, bookstore, kitchen table, pillow talk, water cooler….love to eat. I completely love talking about food. My co-workers are amazing inspiration. We eat together, share leftovers, and stories of recipe incarnations. Today I went to the grocery store at noon to pick up lunch for a few girls in the office. At the deli counter were prepared Cuban Sandwiches. I love a Cuban! And that’s how it happens. How can I deconstruct a Cuban sandwich and turn it in to “What’s for Dinner?”

Tuna Fish & Chips {Surreal Bites}
My mom gave me a unique cookbook several years ago called Surreal Gourmet Bites. It changed my life or at least the way I viewed food. Thank you Surreal Gourmet (Bob Blumer) for inspiring me to eat with my eyes first and thanks mom for always choosing gifts for life.

Thai Red Curry Mahi Mahi
I only discovered Thai Red Curry a couple years ago while on vacation in Puerto Rico. Our hotel was directly across the street from a gem of a restuarant that featured both Thai and Indian dishes ~ neither of which we were too familiar with. Going completely on the recommendations of our server we ordered Pla Choo Chee (Thai Red Curry Fish).

Succulent Scallops Wrapped in Bacon
Succulent Scallops Wrapped in Bacon. Without a doubt scallops are my most favorite shellfish, especially big sweet sea scallops. If they didn’t cost quite so much I believe I could eat them every day. There are so many ways to serve scallops but wrapped in bacon is a classic that will never go out of style.
