Aargh Matey, I'm serving up some Pirate Pasta Puttanesca #CooktheBooks

How can you not get lost in a novel that has Pirates, swashbuckling, cooking and adventures on the high seas?  This fun novel, Cinnamon and Gunpowder by Eli Brown, has it all plus it's all intertwined with a love story.  So much fun!!

And wine....did I mention this novel also has wine? I loved this selection of Cook the Books!!

Chicken Piccata #LemonWeek #reciperedo

Tender, juicy chicken breast cutlets in an absolutely amazing lemon sauce.  This simple dish looks and tastes elegant but is ready in less than 30 minutes.

Mahi Mahi Matecumbe; A Fish House Favorite and the Weekly Menu #FishFridayFoodies

Every few years we go down to the Florida Keys for a dive trip.  We always enjoy the diving regardless of which Key we visit.  I like exploring the different areas of the Keys but every trip.  Every. Single. Trip.  We always make a visit to The Fish House in Key Largo.

This is my attempt to recreate our favorite dish from this restaurant.  The fresh catch of the day served Matecumbe style.  Normally, if they have Snapper that is what I order.  I couldn't get any Snapper so I made mine with Mahi Mahi for this month's Fish Friday Foodies........
