Dilled baked shrimp and feta

Pre-cook some rice to serve this on, or boil up some orzo or couscous while you’re preparing the shrimp, and you’ll have an extremely tasty thirty minute meal. If you use raw shrimp, the cooking time will be a bit longer than listed here, but you’ll still be ready to eat in half an hour!
Dilled […]

Fish: Wild caught or farm raised?

Well, it turns out that it’s not a totally simple choice. Apparently wild caught is more nutritious. Think about it: you are what you eat, and you are what what you eat eats. Got that untangled?

Tilapia with mustard salsa

A quick and delicious sauce makes this meal special, even though it’s aluminum-foil-easy! I served this meal with a cheese topped focaccia bread, heated for the last 5 minutes of baking time.

The world’s best seafood stew

Serve some wholegrain bread or rolls with this stew and you’ll be good to go! You can speed up the preparation even more if you’ve done the once a week food prep, but with only four items to chop, it won’t slow you down too much if you haven’t. Once your family tastes this stew, […]
