I have been on a break way too long, I started a new journey in my life , I have always had a passion for photography and decided to start a photography business.

I will still share pictures of the amazing food I get to eat or cook.

There will be less  words focus will be on the food and photography.

Here is a greek platter I made a couple of months ago.

Things we eat these days.

We pretty much eat everything, I love cooking a nice meal for my family. We love sitting down at the island or at the table if we have guest so we can chat about our day.
When I grew up we had different times for dinner and not everyone was together at the table. I remember eating dinner just standing in the kitchen my mom would remind me to please sit down and eat.
So recently the hubby who is a great cook and also my mentor, made us Tuscan Tortellini soup oh my I shared this on the facebook and inspired others to make the same this is a hearty soup you want to eat on a cold night. It has Italian Sausage in it and also Kale but you can put any greens you like and let me tell you the kids really loved this soup and yes the kale too.
So scroll for all the instagram pictures of food I took recently.

Fish on the grill.

Ever since my husband decided to buy the Kamado Joe (the big black egg) grill instead of the green egg we have been grilling a lot. We have grilled fish, chicken, picanha, filet mignon, chicken satay and vegetables. We also did pizza and to our disappointment they didn't come out how we wanted them we know what went wrong and will give it a try again some time soon.
So this time we grilled a wild caught fish he bought recently. I made a yellow rice, corn on the cobb and a side salad.

Mediterranean Goodness

My kids love meatballs, and I try to make them every time different so I don't get bored. This time I used Ground Turkey and I used an egg and chopped thyme, oregano and chives and of course you add salt and pepper, I used other spices that I have on hand too.

The Mediterranean  crunch is store bought from Whole Foods, and since it was a hit the first time I made them Paleo Eggplant fries they are super healthy cause they are baked.

Ingredients:

Eggplant, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper

(I just used one big and small  eggplant and it was enough for us 4)

 Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

 Cut the eggplants into medallions, then stack them  and cut into French fry-like strips.

Place eggplant strips onto a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season lightly with a bit of salt and pepper.

 Pop them in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the majority of them are browned and crispy.

I added bit more of salt and pepper.

Enjoy....

Fish with creole sauce.

There are days that I crave certain foods from where I come from, the island.  I love fish, but here if I want to catch my own I have to drive 5 to 6 hours. I bought a beautiful tilapia at Whole Foods. When I cook fish I also will cook a separate meal for my youngest who has a fish allergy.

I marinated the Tilapia  with lemon and pepper and added a organic citrus seasoning I found at Whole Foods as well. Grill this or bake it in the oven.

I made a creole sauce a la mom. (a combination of onions, tomatoes, garlic, peppers and a certain secret ingredient)

Sauteed fresh asparagus and broccoli, oven roasted sweet potatos and  voila dinner is ready. 

The difference about this creole sauce is that I added fresh dill to it.
