Even though I'm mostly vegetarian, your menus always sound appetizing and healthy.

I try for fish one night a week and this was fish night. Baked Haddock with sautéed mushrooms, steamed broccoli with a cheezey sauce, and cole slaw. I'm not a big fish fan and it takes a little extra to make them appetizing. I've been a basic failure for fish tacos, but am working on it.

Slow-cooked large butter (lima) beans flavored with smoked ham. At the very end of stewing the beans, a mis of garlic, butter and parsley is stirred in. Jalapeno cornbread and the ever present green salad with miso dressing.

Oh my, this sounds fantastic!

I love fish but do not always do well cooking it. I’ve found the seasoned wild-caught salmon from Costco to be the easiest to prepare (from frozen even). DH usually does not like fish but enjoys this too!

Frugal-one - I think you are in Texas where gulf shrimp is reasonable if you like shrimp. Oh how we miss HEB grocery. Groceries here are mostly corporate food so we end up shopping at several different ones to find better stuff.

Yes, wild caught huge shrimp at HEB when on sale for less than $6/pound. Plan on grilling some next week!

It took us a long time to get salmon right. We've finally discovered that coating it with either Trader Joe's Toasted Sesame dressing, or Stonewall Kitchen's Sesame Ginger dressing does the trick, at least for us.

Yum. Now I'm starting to crave some seafood!

we have to eat more fish due to DH’s Alpha-Gal allergy.

I find all seafood bland, and I suppose that’s because we buy typical grocery store stuff in the Midwest. When you all talk about Japanese food, I probably haven’t had good Japanese food because I find it to be bland as well. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that it’s not great.

I much prefer Thai and Vietnamese, I love those cuisines.

Lasagna with homegrown basil and portobello mushrooms.

But more excitingly just bought three cookbooks, hooray!
