I have already made ceviche once, but I did not have nearly enough fish. Ceviche is honestly pretty easy to make so Ill keep this post short. I bought raw medium sized shrimp, tuna (red) and bay scallops. The shrimp need to be de-veined, raw and cut into little cubes. Once you place the shrimp into the jar you will see the shrimp cook from clear to orange within an 1 hour or so. Place the bay scallops in the jar as well. Next cut the tuna into cubes and also put into the jar. Once seafood is in the jar juice lemons and limes so the juice is equal parts and fills the jar. Cover and place in fridge. 24 hours later… Cut…

Last weekend we completed the Grilling Mastery Course at Le Cordon Bleu and one of the things we learned to grill was corn (in the husks). You simply pop the corn on the grill, wait until the husk blackens on one side, flip it, blacken the other side, remove the burnt husk entirely and then repeat the steps until you get down to the corn itself. I was a little too shy to eat corn on the cob during class (even though you are encouraged to) so I have been craving corn since! So that was what inspired me to make this salad…AND we happened to have tons of market veggies leftover in the fridge :0) What you need: 4 to 5 ears of…

Honestly easy! I will let the pictures do the talking. In case you forgot here is how to prepare the fish. Next time I would use more fish, scallops and probably add octopus and shrimp. To be more creative with ceviche next time I will try to add a spice element (herb wise) not pepper. Enjoy!
Besides Ashley…is Trader Joe’s Mandara Mozzarella de Bufala. I have posted on this topic now 3x here, here, and here. If you are even a remote caprese fan then just give this one a try. FYI…I find that the Trader Joe’s on top of Queen Anne is the only Trader Joe’s with a steady supply in Seattle.
*Bought bay scallops and halibut from whole foods. I talked with the chef in that area by the seafood and he recommended almost any white fish. I am soaking the halibut and the bay scallops in equal parts lemon juice and lime juice with a slight splash of white wine vinegar. Recipe to come tomorrow. *Side note…doing this post while watching Girls on HBO.
Seattle Surf and Turf: Fresh Dungness crab cakes with an Herb Crusted Lamb and a Local Frisee salad of radishes, blackberries served with a vinegarette

Firstly, let me say…my experiences with surf and turf dishes, meals, dinners have always been lackluster aka nasty. Whether the lobster smelled or the steak was cold…every time something made me regret ordering surf and turf. But last night, despite Ash not liking lamb I nailed it! Here is how this whole idea/ meal went down… I headed over to Pike Place Market yesterday during a very rare lunch (normally I do not leave the office for lunch). As I walked through my usual spots of Franks Produce, BB Ranch and Jack’s Fish Spot…I thought a stacked crab cake with rack of lamb would be awesome…aka surf and turf! If you remember from last week, I made crab cakes and nailed them. But even…

I have posted about making caprese here and here! So by now you know I love caprese. But in reality there is only one way I love it…Classic! Simply put…Tomatoes (beefsteak) and Basil from Franks Produce in Pike Place Market and the best Buffalo Mozeralla from Trader Joe’s.

Whole Foods in South Lake Union has Honey Mango’s on sale right now 4 for $5…I don’t think I have ever seen anything in Whole Foods for that price! Too good to pass up so a couple days ago I purchased a few without an actual plan in mind. Yesterday we (being Maggie and I) settled for a rather light meal- the classic pressure cooked artichokes (also on sale 2 for $4 …love this time of year!). I can fare just fine with artichokes for dinner, but Mark on the other hand can NOT (and I heard about it last night as he made himself a personal plate of spaghetti) SO tonight, we had to step it up :0) Mark mentioned having fish for…

Its been a month and another successful Chopped dinner party has past. This time the dinner took place at our loft in Pioneer Square which we delayed our move by 1 week just to have the dinner party. The theme for our dinner was French and while I expected someone to make crepes; no one did, we still had fondue too. The dishes were all amazing even for some of the newbies who opted to make a salad with the ingredients. From oysters to sauteed beets on a baguette to souffle I would say our group is getting pretty sophisticated with the way of winning a chopped dinner party. The challenge is not only using the ingredients but how to transport, heat or re-heat…
