Citrus Shrimp Ceviche

Ceviche is a wonderfully brilliant concept. Simply coat raw seafood in citrus juice and allow the acidity to cook the fish. It's delicious, easy, and the essence of beach food. Fortunately, we don't have to live near the ocean to enjoy ceviche. I live in the midwest and don't have access to the freshest seafood, so to make this recipe a bit more safe, I quickly poached the shrimp for 30 seconds to kill any surface bacteria that might by present on my thawed-from-frozen raw shrimp. Ceviche makes a wonderful entree eaten as prepared, or you can eat it with tortill[...]

Autumn Overnight Oats

If oatmeal and cold cereal are favorite breakfasts for you, you're gonna love this. Overnight steel-cut oats combine the heartiness of oatmeal with the cold, textured nature of breakfast cereal to create an easy and quick breakfast option. The beauty of overnight oats is that they take no time at all to make. Simply mix together oats and milk before bed, and in the morning, your breakfast is already made and waiting for you. This particular recipe takes a simple concept to the next level with warming autumn flavors: cozy cinnamon, sweet pears, and cara[...]

Cinnamon apple chips

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday complete with family, laughter, gifts (both giving and receiving), and food. I had all of the above in abundance this year, and my heart and belly are full. I'm pumped to show off my new toy: this dehydrator. Ever since a Recipe Redux theme involving dehydrators earlier this year got me inspired to try drying anything and everything, I've been wanting a nifty gadget like this one that makes dehydrating fruits, vegetables, and more a breeze. These apple chips are a very basic recipe, but they're ea[...]

Mushroom quinoa burger with herb aioli

I am always on a quest for excellent vegetarian entrees. I've noticed that when I search for meatless meals, most of the results are salads, soups, and other light dishes that wouldn't satisfy the grown man I live with nor put a dent in our caloric needs. Vegetarian meals are budget-friendly and might bring some nutritional variety, so adding some meatless meals to your routine, even if you're generally a meat-eater, can be fun. Some of my favorite meals on this site (hello, wonderful falafel) happen to be meat-free. I've found that patties are grea[...]

Curried cauliflower steaks

Check out that cauliflower. It's yellow. It's curry time! Grilled vegetables are a no-brainer when the grill is already fired up for meats. Asparagus, zucchini, onions, and mushrooms are musts. But did you ever think to grill cauliflower? Yeah, me neither. Until I found out that you can slice them into "steaks" and they will remain held together by their sturdy core. You can usually cut two, sometimes three, steaks from each head of cauliflower. Don't throw out the remaining portions - cut them into florets and steam them, roast them, or dip in a tasty vi[...]
