Grilled Mahi Mahi

There is nothing better than grilled seafood and this Mahi Mahi is no different! It comes together in no time and tastes like a fancy restaurant dish.  During the summer months, there is nothing better than making dinner outside at the grill.

While I usually make cod or salmon, lately I have been making Mahi Mahi and love the results. Mahi Mahi has a meatier texture than most white fish and is full of flavor. It can stand up to bold spice rubs and is really easy to cook on the grill. Some fishes fall apart on the grill, but not Mahi. It's a perfect fish for cooking outdoors.  Looking for more tasty ways to make Mahi Mahi? Try this  Blackened Mahi Mahi  or Lemon Pepper Mahi Mahi.

Mexican Street Corn

The first time I tried one of Mexico’s most iconic street food dishes, it was love at first bite. The combination of sweet, smoky, tangy, and spicy flavors melted in my mouth in a symphony of deliciousness and I was instantly hooked. Mexican street corn is just that tasty. Lucky for us all, it’s incredibly easy to remake at home. When I took that initial bite into my first-ever elotes (the official name for Mexican street corn) I never would have guessed that mayonnaise was a key ingredient. After all, mayonnaise and I have never been the best of friends. This dish may have changed that for me (at least a little) because it was so darn good that I didn’t care what it was made with. Nothing could have changed my mind about elotes. This dreamy dish starts with fresh ears of corn that are grilled to perfection, then brushed with a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, and spices. The corn is topped with a sprinkle of queso fresco, chili powder, and fresh lime juice, then served on a pla

Cheddar and Carrot Mac and Cheese

Now, typically I have no problem listing out every ingredient in my recipes to whoever wants to know. However, when it comes to mac and cheese—people tend to be more on the closed-minded side. I get it, it’s an iconic comfort food dish. It’s sacred. This is why it gives me immense pride to watch as my loved ones chow down on this dish, with zero clue that I’ve hidden a pound of carrots inside. Yes, you read that correctly. A pound of carrots. Once everyone has devoured the food on their plates, my face stretches into a devilish smile as I reveal my secret ingredient. Jaws drop, eyes widen, and heads tilt—but they still go back for more. If you are a parent of kids who think they’re allergic to vegetables, this is the perfect dish. My girls don’t exactly jump for joy at the sight of carrots, which is how I came up with the brilliant idea of hiding it in one of their favorite meals. The girls get a meal they love and a healthy dose of veggies, it’s a win-win. This delicious Cheddar a
