    hello fresh: cod with wasabi aioli;

    February 1, 2017bestwithchocolate@gmail.com

    I was pleasantly surprised at this meal from Hello Fresh (click here if you’re interested in a discount!).  It’s name was “panko crusted cod”, which I don’t think does the recipe justice.  It’s more interesting than just slapping some panko on cod!  With a little wasabi-lime kick, it’s definitely something I’d consider making again!

So today, you get a post about a local hangout of ours–Mad Fox Brewery!  It’s…

    Originally posted May 19, 2016. Updated May 23, 2021 for content and clarity. So Tyler and I had date night! One of those impromptu date nights where we ended up cuddled on the floor watching Castle and feeling really full. The best kind of night. =) And the star of the night was pecan crusted rainbow trout! It all stemmed from high fish prices at the grocery store–I was actually looking for cod and thinking about fish and chips. But everything was more expensive, and I saw the rainbow trout and just had to buy it on my way out…
