Iced Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cappuccino

For cold coffee drinks I like using half and half but you can use whole or 2 percent milk if you prefer!

You can use any flavored syrup made for coffee or use simple syrup flavored with chocolate and nut extract. Experiment with flavors.
I would love to hear your flavor ideas in a comment below!

Tequila Margarita Black Cod

Posted on June 2, 2020 by Cindy Kerschner

I received product from Sitka salmon Shares in exchange for a review and recipe. I received no further compensation. All opinions are my own.

Tequila Margarita Black Cod serves moist, flaky fish topped with an orange-lime tequila sauce. Slightly sweet, tangy citrus taste your family will love.
This is my second recipe I’m sharing with you for this delicious, silky rich fish. This fish is rich in protein, omega-3, vitamins and minerals. Baked, it resembles sea bass in sweetness and texture. That’s why it’s also known as Butterfish. Delicious!

My Premium Sitka Salmon Shares delivery arrived in May. Sitka Salmon Shares sent me frozen, sustainable Alaskan Black Cod also known as sablefish, via no contact delivery to my doorstep!

Here’s how Sitka Salmon Shares works!

Each member receives a monthly share of their harvest – fish that’s in season and respects the limits of nature. Their fishermen catch their fish with lots of love, using low-impact gear that respects the ocean and its sea life.
They have shares in many shapes and sizes that come individually portioned, vacuum-sealed and blast-frozen to lock in that fresh-from-the-ocean taste.

Pecan Crusted Sablefish

Posted on May 23, 2020 by Cindy Kerschner

I received product from Sitka salmon Shares in exchange for a review and recipe. I received no further compensation. All opinions are my own.
Pecan Crusted Sablefish serves tender juicy black cod topped with a pecan lime crust. Ready in under 30 minutes.
I love adding a bit of flavored crumb topping to fish. Crumbs help lock in oils and moisture!

Pecan Crusted Sablefish

My Premium Sitka Salmon Shares delivery arrived this month! Sitka Salmon Shares sent me frozen, sustainable Alaskan Black Cod also known as sablefish, via no contact delivery to my doorstep!

Years ago I worked at a Jewish deli that sold a variety of fresh, smoked and kippered fish. One of my favorites was smoked sablefish. It has a delicate yet firm texture. This fish is rich in protein, omega-3, vitamins and minerals. Baked, it resembles sea bass in sweetness and texture. That’s why it’s also known as Butterfish ;). Delicious!

Here’s how Sitka Salmon Shares works!

Tuna Salad Deviled Eggs #OurFamilyTable

Posted on May 17, 2020 by Cindy Kerschner

Tuna Salad Deviled Eggs blend two favorites together into one treat. A great snack or party appetizer.

Tuna Salad Deviled Eggs
Today our Family Table group is sharing some of their favorite deviled egg recipes! Thanks Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures for hosting today’s event!

I’m a big fan of eggs in just about any form. Eggs are a great source of protein and essential amino acids. No carbs or sugar in eggs.
I try to watch my cholesterol intake. So I don’t binge eat eggs. One or two at a time is perfect for me!
Don’t forget the shells are great for your garden!
Deviled eggs with a mayo base are my favorite.

I made Tuna Salad Deviled Eggs with the idea that I often put hard boiled eggs inside my tuna salad, so why not turn it inside out?
