Fish Chowder {and a Fish! story}
Fish Chowder served in Bread Bowls. <—- click here for Bread Bowl recipe. I approached the seafood counter at Whole Foods without a plan. Which is often how it goes. I’m looking for the fish to speak to me. Someone to stand out in the crowd. On this day, the cod did more than speak….they sang to me.

Bread Machine Bread Bowls
Bread Machine Bread Bowls. Perfect for Soups, Stews, Chilis & Chowders. By popular demand I am sharing our Bread Bowl recipe, using dough made in our bread machine. We followed the recipe for the French Bread Dough and instead of cutting it in half for two baguettes, we cut it in four pieces for bread bowls.

Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}
Cod & Potatoes Poached in Milk {atop a Scotch Egg Sauce}. The day started with a ‘fresh as can be’ 1 1/2 lb. cod fillet. No plan for it, just a piece of fish too good to pass up. What I was craving, quickly became my motivation for making this dish. What I was craving, would be made from the leftovers. I set out on a mission to find the right recipe, that the next day, would beg to be turned into…Fish Chowder. This brilliant non-plan to accommodate my craving, almost went very wrong.

Scotch Egg Sauce
Scotch Egg Sauce. ‘Scotch’ as in hard-cooked, not hard-liquor. This sauce brought back memories. The first bite gave me a warm familiar feeling and I remembered creamed eggs over toast. A breakfast for dinner meal we ate as kids and apparently liked. Looking back, it may have been one of the easiest (and affordable) meals Mom could get on the table in a hurry. I’m sure she ‘sold’ it in such a way that made it a favorite. So many things I’d like to ask her.

Pan Seared Sea Scallops {with Basil Pesto Pasta}
Pan Seared Sea Scallops with Basil Pesto Pasta. Fill my pasta bowl with capellini tossed in fresh Basil Pesto and I am one happy camper. Top it with pan seared scallops and I’m liable to do a back flip. Something I’d regret in the morning.

Flash backwards to January, NFL Playoffs were underway and I was itching to host a Super Bowl Party. I decided to make this Taco Salad with Doritos recipe, in honor of my favorite Super Bowl Commercials, and share it on Lemony Thyme the week before the Big Game. That was the plan. Right up until our home team, the Falcons, got beat in the last round.
