I’ve been trying to figure out why my blogging has slowed down lately, when I realized that I did the majority of my writing late at night–the same as I did all the way through high school, college and law school. Only now I have to get a kid to school by 8:45 am–and while…
Bengali Mahi Mahi with Mustard Seeds
You’ve probably noticed the dearth of desserts around The Spiced Life lately. That is partially because we’ve made some tried and true favorites lately, but it is also because I have 2 different recipes that I am determined to not share until I get them right! One is an unusual granola bar, and the other,…
Pan Seared Tilapia with Thai Sweet & Sour Veggies
I have some advice for people planning summer vacations with kids who are at that just starting school/preschool age. Don’t plan them for early-mid August. You will return home and poof! just like that your summer is over and you are scrambling to get them ready for school. Supplies, back packs, preschool open houses, etc….
Brazilian Mahi Mahi Stew
Before I forget (because I already forgot once and posted this recipe without it), be sure to check out my essay “Shelling Peas & Snapping Beans“at Flavorful Memories. Leslie runs a business and keeps a beautiful blog dedicated to preserving memories through and about food. This fish stew was a big leap forward for our…
Shrimp Clemenceau
New Orleans is one of my top 2 favorite food cities of all time (if you’re wondering, Boston is the other). Not a unique choice, I realize, but I have family down there and have spent some time in the city–plus, let’s face it popular foodie destinations are usually popular for a reason. And the…
Mexican Spicy Roasted Shrimp & Potatoes Stew
Wow, it has been a while. I meant to get this posted before I left for Atlanta, along with a note explaining I would be gone for a week, but somehow with Alex’s multiple birthday celebrations it never happened. Ooops. But anyway, I am home now and just as excited today as I was 2…
Seared Panko Crusted Mahi Mahi with Mango Salsa
There is a dirty little secret about building a house in a field on a rural parcel of land. Sure you expect the local wildlife to take some time to adjust to your presence. And for the most part they do–birds, mammals, amphibians, even insects, are fairly accommodating. But the plants are pissed. Here is…
Spiced Mahi-Mahi With Masala Hari Matar Pulau (Savory Rice & Green Pea Pilaf)
I am a bad food blogger, because despite having plenty of recipes and photos, when my sister came to visit this past weekend I totally stopped writing. Ooops. This is a meal I served last week, one of my rare “component meals.” For the protein, I served a spiced fish, for the veggie I served…
Seared Alaskan Cod With Green Gazpacho Sauce
I was perusing back in my blog for some reason the other day–I forget why–when I came across Global Kitchen‘s Seared Mahi Mahi, featured in one of my early To Try Tuesdays (and yes I keep meaning to re-start them, but honestly it’s been a while since I have had a chance to leisurely peruse…
