The Mothership

Many of my recipes involve a good amount of garlic and onion. Well I am experimenting with a special diet for one of my lovelies and the diet excludes or strongly suggests to omit garlic and onion. I use those ingredients in just about every one of my recipes. My grandmother made a phenomenal Fish Soup; a recipe passed down to my mother as well. I love the thought of family recipes, and feel a bit guilty at the thought of changing them. But I am making adjustments as I see fit, to suit the needs of my family. So here is a version of my grandmother's fish soup. *just as with any soup I always taste before serving. Sometime I need extra salt and sometimes I don’t. We do not overly salt our foods so you may need extra.  Ingredients: 5 whole carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds 4 stalks of celery, sliced and chopped cooking oil (I used avocado oil) Salt pepper 1 tsp. Cumin 1&1/2 tsp. Ginger 2 lbs. Tilapia 1/2 tsp. thyme 1 cup cut, uncooked, Green beans 1/2 sweet re...

I’m sure this is super basic for a lot of you. But this was one of the first meals I perfected as a newlywed...so many moons ago. It’s super easy, no chopping besides garlic (or not if you decide to do powder). I prepared the fish in about 5 minutes, took a shower while it baked, and then sautéed the spinach in 5. This is perfect for a quick to the table dinner. Ingredients : 1&1/2 lbs. of Salmon (or steelhead trout, tilapia, or halibut) Avocado oil (or whatever oil you cook with) Lemon pepper 2 garlic cloves Salt 1 container of fresh spinach (about 6oz) 1/2 lemon Red pepper flakes Sea Salt Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place fish in a oven safe dish. Spread oil (about a tablespoon) over the top of the fish.  Sprinkle 1 minced clove, lemon pepper, and salt over the top of the fish.  Bake for 12 minutes (or until fish flakes). Let sit for one minute.  Last 5 minutes of fish cooking, heat up 1 tablespoon of oil over medium- low heat....

  I loved making these...I mean really, who doesn't love making any kind of tacos?!?! Actually, I love tacos, but always feel like there is so much chopping. This recipe didn't feel that way. They were easy for me to prepare with kiddos because you can make a little bit and then go play...make a little bit...go play. And it all goes in to the fridge too! Except till the very end when you cook the fish which didn't take long at all. This recipe was a combination of kids helping in the kitchen, and a few recipes. My husband had his birthday and wanted something a little different than our normal "chicken" dinners, so fish and shrimp it was! I made these with a Slaw and a Lime Creme sauce. I also served my guacamole for dipping the tacos in to. These were very filling and super easy. It seems like a lot of steps and ingredients, but it really wasn't. And if you don't have time to make the guac, just slice an avocado for topping. Ingredients for slaw:...
