I get asked frequently about seafood and how to use it to make a $5 Dinner. And to be quite honest, it’s tough. The key is getting the seafood for a rock bottom price…or combining it with another protein to keep overall meal costs down (like doing a mix of chicken pieces and shrimp in [...]

This is one of my husband’s all time favorite meals. When he walks in the door and smells these on the table, I have a very happy man. It’s easy to keep all of these ingredients on hand for a quick meal as it uses canned salmon. I’ve modified his mother’s recipe to suit our [...]

I recently got some tilapia for $1.99/lb. It’s rarely that price, so I got enough for 2 meals (a little over a pound for each meal)…and now I’m wishing I’d gotten more. I’m on a grilling kick right now and really wanted to grill up some of the tilapia. Tilapia is a very delicate and [...]

I dug out some tilapia fillets from the depths of the freezer. Thankfully they were vacuum packed and in another freezer bag, so they almost as good as fresh! I wanted to grill the fillets straight on the grill, but they were too thin…so I “foil grill” it is. And we’ll round out the meal [...]

Hello again! It’s me – Sarah, that overly-enthusiastic-about-garlic lady who introduced y’all to my White Bean Spinach Dip a few weeks back. I hope y’all got a chance to try it out! This time around, I wanted to share with you one of my favorite soup recipes; Salmon Tomato Chowder. It’s good stuff. If you’re [...]
