Cedar planks are a great tool to use when grilling salmon, however if you don’t have one, don’t worry. Tin foil works just as good on the grill, and the fish cooks up perfectly leaving no fish skin stuck on your grill to clean later. Being no stranger to fish, I’ve enjoyed salmon many ways […]

Aiden’s Gouda Fruit Salad

My kids love to get into the kitchen and create things. More often then not they announce what they want to make without checking on ingredients first. This salad was the exception as we just so happened to have all the fruit available. Aiden’s Fruit Salad is made by my son Aiden and on this […]
BBQ Shrimp from the Creole Cajun Chef

I’ve been following the Creole Cajun Chef Tommy for quite some time on social media. His photos and recipes caught my eye immediately and kept it intrigued. My husband and I went to New Orleans for our honeymoon pre Katrina and had the time of our life. New Orleans and the people will always hold […]
Sweet & Spicy Grilled Salmon

We returned from several days of camping, and like most campers we didn’t eat as healthy as we would have preferred to. But it’s camping and we always try to keep a balance. Good with the bad. With that theory we we had marinated grilled pork chops one night and grilled Greek grilled chicken in […]

Minted Salmon

Maybe it was because we haven’t had salmon in a couple months. Maybe it was because we were hungry. Maybe it was an easy meal to BBQ on a hot summer day. Whatever the reason, we devoured the salmon the night we made this dish. When shopping for salmon, I try to buy a large […]
Shrimp Boil

Another name for a Shrimp Boil is a Frogmore Stew OR Low Country Boil. It’s a simple and easy to make one dish meal that is finger licking good. I made a similar version to this many years ago only it was simply sausage, carrots & potatoes. I’ve seen the recipe made several times in […]
Pancetta & Lemon Grilled Salmon

We barbequed this lovely whole salmon fillet about a month ago…inspired by a recent trip to Northern British Columbia. The flavours are simple but tasty. Salmon is really easy to cook. Remember to buy your salmon fresh…it should not smell fishy. I’m slowly teaching my husband and kids to smell the fish before they buy […]
Five Spice Salmon with Maple

Here is just one of many salmon recipes I have up my sleeve since I grew up in a small Northern British Columbia Town that prides itself on it’s great fishing. I had my fair share of salmon growing up, but my favourite will always be my father’s smoked salmon. As a child we spent […]
Jumbo Grilled Shrimp

We had friends over for a BBQ the other night and I always have to try at least one new recipe when people are over. I love to experiment and love it even more when I have people to test recipes on! Since it was a warm day I opted for colder appetizers and […]
Halibut Saltimbocca
This recipe is absolutely fabulous. It can be made with any white fish but halibut is especially tasty. The first time we made this our fillets were smaller and a piece of proscuitto covered the whole piece of fish so we had to modify our cooking time a little. We loved it so much we […]
Shrimp New Orleans

We have soft spot for New Orleans since we spent our honeymoon there, (pre-hurricane Katrina). It’s an incredible place to visit…full of history, great blues/jazz and delicious, soulful food. One of many hi-lights for me was going to dinner at NOLA’s (Emeril’s Restaurant). It was just fabulous! While this recipe is adapted from Atco Blue Flame […]
