    Craving crab cakes but can’t justify the price tag?  Try out these salmon cakes!  All your salmony goodness in a delicious fried cake form~ – – This recipe is really quite delicious. The salmon cakes are moist and flavorful with a satisfying crust, but what really makes this recipe is the sauce! Plus, don’t you just love how colorful the meat is?  Until recently, I had avoided fish in a can. My mom made tunafish sandwiches growing up, which I didn’t dislike, but definitely wasn’t my first choice for lunch sandwich typically.  So when I saw canned salmon, I wasn’t…

Not because I think the steps are ultimately hard in of themselves, but because it seems like you need so many special ingredients and tools. For me, namely the bamboo mat and the nori (seaweed). Those are two things I don’t typically have on hand, and lucky for me, this recipe by Gina at…

It’s even a paleo dish, if anyone cares, because I don’t really.  I won’t go off on the anthropologist’s rant (*coughTylercough*) about how the “paleo” fad diet has nothing to do with what…

Not really by themselves, but in risotto or in a steak sauce or in SMOG pie, but then again I was sauteeing up some mushrooms the other day and actually enjoyed picking out mushrooms and eating them. So apparently I’m a liar too. But coconut was one of those things I would never touch previously. The texture was funny…
