Sauce

Sauces are essential in cuisine from the world over. A sauce is a liquid or semi-solid food that is used in cooking foods or served on top of. They are a complement and sometimes the star of a dish. Sauce can be used in any meal. Use a thick sauce, syrup, for pancakes in the morning. Or try a nice balsamic vinaigrette dressing sauce on a lunch salad. For dinner, eat a yummy freshly prepared pesto sauce on pasta. Finish the day with a warm raspberry coulis sauce to cut the rich chocolate of your slice of cake. Delicious, right?

Beer Battered Fish Tacos with a Spicy Cilantro Cream Sauce

Published 04.11.2013 | By Raven Chelanee

With the exception of Restaurant Month last month I have been a little MIA. Not just from this blog but from the kitchen too. Once I stopped putting up recipes regularly it became a lot more difficult to even do so once in a while. I was in a funk and I am thinking I may be out of it…maybe. We just moved into a little cute apartment, closer to the water and closer to town. When I say ‘little cute’ I actually mean ‘super small, help! I can’t move around in the kitchen’ apartment. Alas! Life goes on and I gotta start cooking again sometime. Fish Tacos was the way to go and get up out of my dry cooking spell. I love fish tacos and when we lived in Mexico DH and I really got addicted to fish tacos at a little joint in our town. The fish was fresh and served in warm flour tortillas. We used to go there for lunch at least twice a week but since we moved to Costa Rica we haven’t had fish tacos at all. I think this recipe may become a regular weekly thing for us now.

Delicious Rating: Fish Tacos have never tasted so good! The beer batter is not that super thick kind that tastes mushy half way through biting it but rather it really coats the fish and fries up nicely and stays crispy too. I used Tilapia fillets and loved their flavor but you can use any firm white fish you prefer. The cream sauce…OMGoodness. Like seriously, it is pretty the bomb. I kept eating it by itself. It is spicy and has a great cilantro flavor and complements the fish very well. I used corn tortillas and they were great but next time I think I will stick to flour. Just personal preference.

Guacamole

Published 09.08.2012 | By Raven Chelanee

Who doesn’t love a bowl of guacamole and chips? I have tasted and made a lot of guacamole in my life time and I have to say that this guacamole recipe is by far the best guacamole ever! Like seriously, for reals. You will not regret making this for yourself, for a condiment, or party. It is an easy recipe with easy ingredients to by at the store almost anytime of year.
Delicious Rating: I literally licked the bowl clean. Like, ‘got my nose all dirty and stuff’ clean. Chunky and smooth, spicy and yet delicate enough to really taste the avocados. That sounds like perfect guac if you ask me! I always try to pick up some good ripe avocados and make guacamole to have on hand for a snack through the week. It usually lasts about 30 minutes after chilling in the fridge…hey, nobody is perfect!

Lemon Carrot Raisin Bread w/Lemon Glaze

Published 06.21.2012 | By Raven Chelanee

There is nothing better than a warm bread with lemon glaze. This recipe combines some great flavors: lemon, raisins, and sweetness of the carrot. It is semi-healthy…maybe, but delicious none-the-less. I usually have to make two batches of glaze because I eat the first one while waiting for the bread to cool.

Delicious Rating: This is an easy recipe to make ahead for breakfast or a day’s snack. The bread stays together quite nicely and the carrots, raisins, and pecans are a nice addition. You can add walnuts if you would rather have that instead of pecans. Soak the raisins in some liquor for a little grown up flavor!

Glazed Lemon Cupcake Buds

Published 06.09.2012 | By Raven Chelanee

Anything Glazed. Anything Lemon. Anything Cake. My Taste Buds go crazy for. After the Lemon Raspberry bread gone wrong, I decided to go small, mini Lemon Cake Buds. And when you are small, you need extra glaze! Plus, this recipe is so easy to bake up. The bad thing is that they are small, so I end up eating 12 of them not realizing I just ate 12 mini muffins with extra glaze!

So be careful. Make these when you expect people to come over or bring them to a party. Do not make them for no occasion. You will eat them all in one sitting. I promise you that!

Delicious Rating: These are delicious without the glaze. I kept popping the little lemon suckers into my mouth as they were cooling. You can take the lemon cake bud and dip it into the glaze for a nice coating or just drizzle with a spoon. I will definitely be making this easy recipe again, for a nice spring afternoon!
