Shrimp and grits. You’ll find that dish listed on almost every diner menu in the South. I was not raised in the South, but many folks who read my blog must assume I’m a Southern granny since grandaughter Emma named me Meemaw oh so many years ago. There are more variations of the shrimp and […]

Crab “Un-Stuffed” Baked Flounder Fillets
Flounder fillets are delicious when they are combined with a crab stuffing. Recently I threw together a “stuffing” that ended up on top of the fish instead of inside. And I’d say it turned out to be a recipe worth sharing with all of you. I thawed out a package of flounder from my local […]
Sushi 101 – California Rolls Here We Come!
Ahhh… Sushi. An old Japanese proverb says we will live 75 days longer if we are lucky enough to eat something we’ve never eaten before.

Healthy But Still Crunchy Baked Fish Tacos
Fish tacos are delicious, but they can also be filled with calories when that fish is fried in loads of oil. So I have created a healthy version. I’ll show you how I make them. Since this healthy fish dish bakes very quickly in the oven you’ll want to have all of your taco toppings […]
Steamed Cod And Veggies In Parchment Paper – Fit For Company!
When we get a reservation at “The Meemaw Hotel”…I go into entertaining mode and I begin to plan our meals. Meals fit for company. Such was the case when we hosted two of our favorite “foodie” house guests, and my menu ideas took flight. I planned for two “fancy” meals at our house, but a […]

Parmesan Encrusted Pollock with Potatoes and Green Beans
I love fish. And I love INEXPENSIVE fish even more. That’s why I was amazed by how good inexpensive Pollock can taste…with a little help from some dairy products you probably already have in your refrigerator. POLLOCK FILLETS For dinner I rinsed and dried some FROZEN Pollock fillets and placed them in a baking […]
Grilled Red Snapper…A Fishy First Fishtale For Me!
I love fresh fish, especially ocean varieties like Red Snapper. And for the past 41 years, Fabian Seafood trucks from Galveston, Texas have made sporadic stops in the Iowa City Dairy Queen parking lot. That’s only a few blocks from our home. And even though we have lived in our house for almost that long […]
