Homemade Lobster Roll

Homemade Lobster Roll on Gluten-Free Bun

There’s a ninety percent chance that when I ask my roommate for a blog idea, he’s going to respond with lobster {or crab}.  Ninety percent!  You’d think at this point, I’d start answering my own question. But nope, I still ask. And every once in a while, when I’m making my more-than-weekly trip to the seafood department, I’ll spot lobster tails on sale and I’ll pick some up. Maybe this is all part of his master plan..

Broiled Butterflied Lobster Tails

This time he went a mini step further and suggested crab dip. I couldn’t for the life of me justify making/eating crab dip on a weeknight.  But what I could justify was a lobster roll, because.. I can always justify a lobster roll.

Homemade Lobster Salad for Lobster Roll

And there’s really nothing to a lobster roll.  Lobster {obviously}, celery, parsley, mayo, salt, and pepper – mixed and stuffed in a toasted bun {I used Udi’s gluten-free buns}.  A traditional lobster roll’s bun is slathered in butter and then toasted.  But calories aside, I’m rarely a fan of greasy bread.

For an even lighter version, I’m certain lobster salad lettuce wraps would be out-of-this-world good!

FoodFash on @Yummly !

Yummly Profile

With a seemingly infinite number of recipe websites out there, it can be challenging for bloggers {and readers alike} to decide which resource to use.  It’s no secret that the arrival of Pinterest changed the food-sharing scene for the better – this bookmarking tool is easy to use, highly visual, and has the ability to drive a ton of traffic to a blog.  And because Pinterest is the number one traffic source for FoodFash, it made sense for me to update this site to be as Pinterest-friendly as possible.

Yummly Button

So how does this relate to Yummly?  Well… while I was researching image sharing plugins, the plugin I liked most had a “yum” icon that I had never seen before.  Curious to know what yum was all about, I clicked on the icon and and quickly discovered that Yummly, similar to Pinterest, is highly visual and easy to use.  Even more importantly?  Yummly is totally food centric.  When I found that there was already an established profile for FoodFash that was created automatically when other users shared my recipe posts, I was in!

Yummly RecipeWith Yummly, you have the ability to find tons of new recipes, share your current favorite recipes, and save your taste preferences so Yummly can do the searching for you.  And now on FoodFash, you can hover over any image and, with only two clicks, share or bookmark for future use!

Blackened Chicken Kale & Romaine Caesar

March 13, 2015 by Kristin

Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad

Once upon a desire-to-recreate-a-recipe time, I looked up how to make blackened chicken and wrote it off as a smoky mess hassle.  Months {and an extreme blackened chicken caesar salad craving} later, I decided to scroll further down Google search results and find a recipe that used a stovetop rather than the oven.

Homemade Blackened Chicken

I purchased all six spices from the bulk department, spending a whopping 40-ish cents on seasonings. And I generously coated the chicken breasts per this blackened chicken recipe, wishing later that I was a bit more generous.  I could have used more of that crispy blackened crust I was hoping for.

Side note: I’m seriously considering tossing my spice collection and going the bulk route from now on.  So fresh, so cheap!

When the chicken was finished, I filled a large bowl equally with bite-sized pieces of kale and romaine.  And then I used my hands to mix in homemade caesar salad dressing {a recipe that I plan to perfect and share soon} until all of the greens were lightly coated.  After topping with the sliced blackened chicken, it was the exact salad I had been craving for so long.  And without a single sound from the smoke alarm!

Icy treats are key to survival during the blazing hot days of summer.  But why settle for survival when creating something fabulous is equally as simple?  This white sangria granita made with peaches, raspberries, agave nectar, and Butterfly Kiss Moscato is the perfect dessert for your next sunshiny shindig.
