Plantain Weekend: Brazilian Inspired Fish Stew

Deer Round Roast

Another experimental venison recipe, this time a round roast. Let me tell you the results and then explain how it was made: the meat was so tender, almost like butter melting in your mouth. It was amazing! Here’s what I used: One deer round roast, about 1 lbs 5 tbs olive oil 1 tsp garlic [...]

Oven Steamed Shrimp

There’s a snow storm in DC and it’s empty in the grocery stores. Literally, no produce left on the shelves. It is crazy over here. I was hoping to get some vegetables but was left with whatever was in my fridge for this weekend (and Super Bowl Sunday!!) Anyway, I saw a nice oven steamed [...]

Venison Skewers, Lemon & Parsley Rice

As with past seafood dishes, this one is very simple (but takes a bit longer). I made a very delicious seafood soup with salmon fillets. This recipe is a [...]

Whole Baked Barramundi

For part two I have prepared a delicious whole baked fish. A very simple recipe and was very fast to make. Though the cleaning process took some time. I would recommend to get a pre-gutted and cleaned fish if possible. Unless you’re like me and figure you should try and know how to cook everything! [...]

When Creativity Runs Dry – Experiment!

So what have I been up to for eight months? Not eating? Well kinda. I haven’t really cared for making anything fancy or nice looking. Sandwiches in the evening, porridge in the morning etc. But I got some inspiration out of the blu, and I will start out this new year with talking about how [...]
