Decadent Double Chocolate Cookies (Nut-free, Coconut-free, Egg-free)

The inspiration for this cookie came from a double chocolate brownie cookie that I used to make for special treats in the “olden days”. It used to be a hit at potlucks or parties because it was very intensely chocolaty and had a nice chew to it. I was thinking about Christmas cookies for this

Shrimp and Avocado Salad

This is probably my favorite dinner salad. Something about this salad screams summer, refreshing and satisfying all at the same time. And it tastes better the longer you let the shrimp marinade, so it can be made ahead if you’re expecting company or are like me and have more time to prepare supper in the

Honey-Garlic Chicken Wings

These are ridiculously delicious wings and great for anyone avoiding nightshades. If you cook them on the barbecue (which is the way we like them!), they end up as a “dry” wing (they are still moist and tasty though!). You can also cook them in the marinade in the oven for a sticky, gooey wing

Garlic-Margarita Tilapia (Whitefish)

December 9, 2011 in Fish and Seafood

I like tilapia because it’s cheap. But, this recipe could work equally well with any mild white fish (cod, halibut etc.).

Ingredients (per person):

1 Tbsp grass-fed butter or other good cooking oil (tallow would be great here)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped
¼ tsp fresh thyme, chopped
¼ tsp lime zest
1 tsp tequila
Paprika, to taste
1 6oz fillet of tilapia

1.    Preheat oven to 350F.
2.    In a small saucepan on low heat, melt butter. Add garlic and stir occasionally until garlic is cooked, about 5 minutes.
3.    Add tequila, thyme, and lime zest. Cook until alcohol has burned off, about 2 minutes. Add parsley and remove from heat.
4.    Lightly coat one side of tilapia and place herb side down on a baking sheet lined with foil. Use remaining herb butter to more heavily coat the top side. Dust with paprika.
5.    Bake approximately 15 minutes, until fish is opaque throughout and segments flake apart easily. Enjoy!
