Traditional Alfredo Sauce
Traditional Alfredo Sauce. This luxurious sauce is most classically referred to in conjunction with Fettuccini Alfredo. We’ve incorporated it in our Seafood Lasagna {with Jalapeno Sauce}.

Fish Chowder {and a Fish! story}
Fish Chowder served in Bread Bowls. <—- click here for Bread Bowl recipe. I approached the seafood counter at Whole Foods without a plan. Which is often how it goes. I’m looking for the fish to speak to me. Someone to stand out in the crowd. On this day, the cod did more than speak….they sang to me.
