Cioppino (Fisherman’s Stew)

🎅LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 7 This one is for all my seafood lover's out there. A relatively quick stew that can be made within an hour, that doesn't break the bank, but definitely makes you feel like you're dining under some twinkly lights in San Francisco at night. The nice thing is that [...]

Seared Scallops with Brown Butter

🎁 LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas🎁 DAY 4 Last year for 12 Days of LG,BE, I sprinkled in a few different fancy schmancy proteins since it is after all the holidays...but also because I just love trying new seafood dishes and this one has become very popular for me at home as of late. We [...]

DIY Shrimp Cocktail

❄LG,BE's 12 Days of Christmas❄ DAY 2 For as long as I can remember, we almost always had a shrimp ring for an appetizer as part of my family's meatless Christmas Eve feast. An odd choice some may say, but for kids who were quickly learning how addicted we were to seafood at a young [...]

Lemon Ricotta Crab Ravioli

Baked Citrus Salmon with Avocado Salsa

12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 4: Winter dishes are usually portrayed as hearty stews, comforting casseroles, or meat-heavy classics.... but I'm here to expand your perspective my friends! Salmon is a delicious fish that's just as adaptable for winter-eating as us Canadians are throughout the seasons. Salmon has this richness from all of [...]

Old Bay Grilled Shrimp

Seafood + Old Bay =Happy LG,BE. 🙂 A match made in heaven. It makes me dream about sitting somewhere in the hazy New Orleans heat on a picnic bench.

Shrimp Di Fravalo Cappellini (aka spicy af shrimp pasta)

Christmas Eve, otherwise known as Wigilia (Vee-geel-leeya) in my household meant a few things: you were absolutely starving by the time you sat down for 7 o'clock dinner, and as a reward, [...]
