Salmon with Garden Pesto and Lemon, Basil & Parmesan Orzo

Lemon Basil & Parmesan Orzo creamy and satisfying, the perfect complement to Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Salmon with Garden Pesto. No matter how much you love cooking, when you work full-time outside of home, and even sometimes when you work full-time inside of home, it’s next to impossible to come home and cook a gourmet meal entirely from scratch. Bumble Bee SuperFresh® products are my new favorite solutions for weeknight dinners –particularly if you’re looking for an easy entertaining solution or a special date night dinner. A little bit about these awesome new products: Bumble Bee SuperFresh® is a complete line of naturally-seasoned, restaurant quality, prepared seafood solutions for the home. It really and truly raises the bar for what seafood lovers can expect from frozen food. The first thing you’ll notice when you open the bag or box is that Bumble Bee SuperFresh® smells amazing (and tastes amazing, but we’ll talk more about that later). No fishy smells here. Because you prepare Bumble Bee SuperFresh® straight from the freezer, there isn’t any smell associated with thawing fish. And our frozen protein has stayed that way from harvest to your oven unlike most of the “fresh” fish you find at the seafood counter. That […]

Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Citrus Slaw

If someone told you that you could eat tacos every day for the rest of your life, would you at least consider it? I absolutely would. Homemade tacos are the perfect food for an interactive, DIY-style party but they’re also easy to whip up in small batches for one or two people on a work night. When I was growing up, taco night meant ground beef cooked with Old El Paso spices stuffed in Old El Paso shells topped with cheese, salsa and shredded lettuce, usually alongside refried beans. They were quite delicious but there are a lot more creative things that you can stuff inside of a taco shell. Today, taco night means soft corn tortillas warmed in the oven or on the grill (real talk: or in the microwave between two damp paper towels for under a minute). I love tacos with fish or shrimp but Chicago’s taco joints have opened me up to a world of tacos pastor, with spicy marinated pork and juicy pineapple, and King crab leg tacos, which can’t be adequately described by the written word. When I make tacos with fish or shrimp, I usually like to complement the mildness of the seafood with […]

Grouper with Mint-Red Pepper Relish

Maris Callahan — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 05:00:49 +0000

As the weather warms up, it’s hard to plan the perfect date night menu. To replace the hearty, stick-to-your-ribs fare of winter, start in the grocery store and shop the perimeter or the outside edge of your market — especially for fresh produce and fresh seafood, like grouper. This is where you will find the freshest, healthiest and sometimes, even the least expensive food items. As you’re preparing your menu, whether it’s several courses or a more casual affair, keep some important tips in mind. Use fresh herbs and spices When cooking with herbs and spices, fresh are always best. If you’re using dried seasonings, make sure they are the freshest possible. The only dried seasoning I use is freshly ground pepper. Use the freshest ingredients possible Try to plan a menu based on ingredients that are available seasonally. Avoid canned, processed or preserved ingredients. Don’t add fat to your menu No one wants to feel weighed down on a special night. Grill, steam, braise, stir-fry or roast foods instead of frying. To add bulk to your meal without calories, add more vegetables and legumes (peas, beans and lentils) to your menu. Skip the sodium To avoid post-dinner bloating, use reduced-sodium […]
