Wondering where you can get wild King Salmon in Monterey Bay? There are two main options 1) at the dock from local fishermen or 2) seafood markets. We share our recommendations, and an amazing Salmon Avocado Poke bowl recipe.
This homemade dark chocolate recipe is divine, only six ingredients, dairy-free and has different sweetener options.
We were given a recommendation to check out Katy's Smokehouse in Trinidad and since we happened to be driving by it one day we dropped in. I was expecting a restaurant, but Katy’s is really just a counter inside a small building selling smoked salmon, albacore, and other fish along with canned seafood goods.
We found several choices and based on some reviews and photos that looked promising we chose Sunrise Asian Market. As it turns out, this place is so incredible that we’ve been back several times on our visit.
We have been in Eugene, Oregon for six weeks and it has rained almost everyday. The gloomy grey, rainy weather has meant we have spent the majority of our time indoors and not done a lot of sightseeing, but it was all worth it as Oregon Dungeness Crab season is here!!! We had no idea until I saw a Facebook event for dungeness crab. Unfortunately that event sold out but I had seafood on my mind and had to have some. I started researching Eugene seafood and found the Fisherman's Market.
While at Costco in Memphis, TN we found Classic Olive Muffalata from That Pickle Guy, and this is one of my favorite finds so far on our adventure. What is Olive Muffalata? It is a delicious blend of olives, cauliflower, peppers, celery, carrots and spices in oil.
Want to try Nashville Hot Chicken? We recommend the Prince's Hot Chicken food truck onsite at Ole Smoky Distillery. Grab a beer or a moonshine cocktail and head outside to play one of the many games while you wait for your food.
At the Fiery Foods & BBQ Show in Albuquerque we purchased this Hot & Spicy Sea Salt from C & J Farms in Corsicana, TX. They had lots of great sea salt flavors but this one was my favorite…
In Albuquerque we found this Cervantes Medium Green Chile Sauce and it was delicious. We add it to ground beef or turkey and then serve it as a taco or in a bowl with spaghetti squash…
We highly recommend you check out El Cantaro even if you aren’t vegan. We aren’t vegan, but Jeri cannot eat a lot of dairy which is difficult when cheese is on almost everything. Sometimes she feels like she is missing out, but not El Cantaro. The “steak” nachos were the highlight and AMAZING!
