Why buy Tartar sauce when you can make it?
I had a craving for a spicy fish po boy style sandwich. We didn’t have any dry creole seasoning or tartar sauce but we had tilapia. I have taken to buying less and less condiments when I am at the store. Honestly, I can’t remember the last time I put a bottle of salad dressing in my cart. Aside from disliking all the preservatives in all pre-made dressings, we can’t eat them fast enough to make it economical. Normally, I already have many of the ingredients needed on hand. Nothing compares to fresh 1000 island dressing, tzatziki, or in this case fresh tartar sauce. I have a version below that I first read in Everyday Food. Greek yogurt makes up most of it, and helps to cut the calories down without sacrificing the consistency. Enjoy!
For the grill-master in training…Kebabs
With the 3-day weekend here, a break in the non-stop thunderstorms, and new propane for the grill, how can I not want to cook?!
For those of you who are beginner level grillers (like me), this recipe is unique yet simple enough to make without over charring dinner. I was skeptical about grilling oranges, but it proved to be a great compliment to the chicken. Don’t forget the cayenne pepper! It really pulls the flavors together with that extra heat hot sauce junkies (like myself) are always searching for.
