Sunday Night Scallops

We stayed in on Sunday night and made a feast of scallops. They were so good that I just had to share the recipe with you. The scallop recipe itself was from Epicurious, but I did make a few tweaks to it, following some suggestions from the comments on the site and also adding a [...]

Cooking Club: Seafood Boil

Straight from our Minnesota State Fair binge, we went to our Cooking Club on Friday night. The menu was set by RJ and Katie - a good old fashioned seafood boil! The ingredients for the boil were crab legs, shrimp, andoullie sausage, carrots, onions, potatoes, and corn. The accompaniments to round out the menu were [...]

Signature Cafe

Last night we went to Signature Cafe for a beautiful August evening dinner. Signature Cafe is a true neighborhood restaurant, in that it is situated on a residential street amongst houses and resides in a building that formerly housed a neighborhood grocery store. I remember the first time we drove up Warwick Street and saw [...]

Restaurant Catch Up

I thought I would do a little catch up on a couple meals that I ate out this summer but have not had a chance to write about.

Muffuletta
The first was a brunch at Muffuletta that happened, admittedly, awhile back. On a beautiful early summer day a few friends and I had plans to try out [...]

Staying in on Saturday night

Last Saturday night Kyle and I decided to stay in. A good meal, a bottle of wine and a few games of Cribbage was on order for the night. Okay, I’ll admit it…I lost a few games to Kyle. I don’t like to admit it, but I did. However, this is highly unusual to “beat [...]

Tacos Two Ways and Mango Salsa

Tacos are a staple in my household. I love the versatility of them and the ease of how just a few ingredients can come together quickly to make a fresh, delicious meal.

This past Saturday Kyle and I ventured out to the Midtown Global Market in search of the thinly sliced steak we have eaten there [...]

First SeaSalt of the Season

Spring was in the air. The sun was shining and the air was only a bit cool…so we decided to head to Minnehaha Falls to eat at SeaSalt.
I love this place. It’s a complete package, with everything from a casual vibe to the freshest of seafood (from Coastal Seafoods, no less!). Located at the [...]

Fish in a box

No, this isn’t some reference to the Saturday Night Live skit. Fish in a box is actually one of the foods that I absolutely crave from my experience in South America. The actual title on the menu was pez en un caja hierro, translated ‘fish in an iron box’. And it was just that. Simple [...]
