Tangy Jalapeno Scallops Make an Easy Gourmet Appetizer

October 29, 2015 by Kathryn 60 Comments

I’ve been a huge fan of seafood ever since I was a child, and that’s something I don’t ever see changing. From tender crab to meaty shrimp and succulent salmon to hearty cod, if it’s from the ocean then I love it. But in today’s world, making sure that the seafood we eat is sustainable is more important than ever before. Luckily, I have an easy way to do just that thanks to the Marine Stewardship Council!

As much as I wished I could find sustainable seafood choices previously, I had a hard time knowing whether fish was sustainably sourced or not. Now, the MSC ecolabel lets me know at a glance that the fish I’m buying has been certified for coming from a well-managed and sustainable fishery. With a gift card in hand to create my dish, I headed to my local Real Canadian Superstore to grab ingredients for a delicious and eco-friendly Tangy Jalapeno Scallops appetizer!

Warm Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Salad Makes a Quick Healthy Dinner

September 29, 2015 by Kathryn 68 Comments

Fall has always been one of my busiest times of year, but it’s also a time when I want to make sure that my family is eating healthy. And on one of those busy nights when my boys have extra-curricular activities and I’ve had a busy day of work, making a nutritious dinner that we’ll all enjoy can be a challenge!

That’s why I’ve fallen in love with the new Sobeys Seafood Steamers! The newest food option at Sobeys fish counter isn’t just delicious; it’s also a great quick and easy option for a healthy dinner.

Using a special oven-safe bag that was inspired by the French cooking method en papillote (steaming fish in a parchment paper pouch), fish is customized to suit my family’s tastes then sealed in a handy pouch I can bake to perfection at home!

I decided to try the Seafood Steamer in one of Sobeys’ delicious-sounding recipes, so I headed to my local Sobeys fish counter to customize my meal. I found two beautiful boneless salmon fillets and requested them prepared with the Garlic & Parsley butter.

A few minutes later, my Seafood Steamers were ready! Then it was time to get cooking, and the Warm Salmon and Roasted Vegetable Salad seemed like a perfect healthy fall dinner! [Read more…]

Easy and Delicious Tuna Cashew Ranch Lettuce Rolls are Perfect for a Summer Lunch

June 30, 2013 by Kathryn 3 Comments

My family has always loved Hidden Valley Ranch and for the second year in a row, I was given the chance to show off just how delicious and versatile the creamy ranch dressing can be in the Hidden Valley Ranch Canada recipe contest! While vegetables are a natural fit for this product, I love using it to create flavourful main dishes too. So this year I incorporated both of those ideas into a quick and easy lettuce roll recipe that’s full of Hidden Valley Ranch flavour!

Enjoy Fish Regularly with BlueWater Seafood Gluten Free Grill Fish-Giveaway

March 14, 2013 by Kathryn 111 Comments

Fish has to be one of the most delicious, healthy and versatile foods around and I make a point of cooking up a main course featuring fish whenever I get the chance. BlueWater Seafood, a company that I’ve featured in the past on Mommy Kat and Kids, has fabulous variety and options the whole family loves. And recently, the company has undergone the testing and monitoring necessary to ensure that the BlueWater Grill Fish is gluten free!

bluewater grill fish haddockFinding tasty gluten free dinner choices isn’t always easy and while I don’t have a problem digesting gluten, I do prefer limiting my carbs when possible so I was excited to try the new gluten free Grill Fish line that BlueWater now offers.

I received full-value coupons and a handy reusable sling bag so that I could try a few different variety of BlueWater Seafood and I had no problem filling up the bag with tasty BlueWater products. I decided to try the gluten free Grill Fish Haddock and I also bought some Multigrain Tilapia fillets because they featured added fibre and I knew my boys would love them. [Read more…]
