Fish Tacos with Corn Slaw

My daughter and I went to see a movie with friends last week and of course we had to stop and have a meal at the Silver Diner first. I had a sandwich that came with a side of coleslaw. There was corn in the coleslaw. I was surprised. I had never had corn in slaw before. So, when I wanted to make fish tacos, which I absolutely love to eat, but usually make with a mango slaw, I decided to make my own corn slaw, and I have no regrets. Not only was it the perfect accompaniment to this taco, but I could eat it by the spoonful. OK, full disclosure, I did. You will love this and add it to your repertoire!

Avocado Toast

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Avocado Toast

I came to a realization while working on the 2 e-cookbooks we are ever so close to releasing. That realization was that I've been cooking for a long time, and many of the recipes and techniques that I think are easy may not be easy for a new cook. This recipe is something anyone, even a total novice or newbie, can make. I promise it doesn't get any easier than avocado toast. It's toast. And an avocado smashed with some avocado oil and Twice Stolen Spice™. You can be a purist or top with bacon, fried egg, cottage cheese caprese, chili oil, and so much more! It's simple. You wanna be Sigma in the kitchen?

Taco Dip

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Taco Dip

I love to dip. And if you're not looking, I might even double dip. Dips are used to add flavor or texture to food, such as potato chips, tortilla chips, pita bread, dumplings, crackers, raw and cooked vegetables, fruits, seafood, falafel, and sometimes even whole sandwiches, in the case of jus. According to Wikipedia, chips and dip gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1950s, partly due to a Lipton advertising campaign for their French onion dip. Specialized trays and serving dishes designed to hold both chips and dip were created during this time. Thank you, Lipton… from the bottom of my belly. This taco dip is simply spectacular and can be made in minutes and devoured just as quickly!

Gazpacho

Y'all, gazpacho is so damn refreshing! Its origins are in Spain, and it's a cold soup that is perfect on a hot day. Now, I know it's a soup, but it's sort of a finely chopped salad that you eat with a spoon, too, isn't it? I jest not about the refreshing part. It really is an instant body sensation that happens with that first spoonful. It's fresh and zest and delicious. Simple and super easy to make. Perfect for the summertime since it involves no heat source whatsoever. It can be so hot during the summer that you just don't wanna cook. And you don't have to. How cool is that?

Smothered Smashburgers

This is Mama Miche, and today in my magic kitchen: Smothered Smashburgers

Not to be confused with Smash Mouth or Hulk Smash! A hibachi grill, ground meat, and some aggression are all you need for a great Smashburger. It's a simple recipe that anyone can master, and we like to smother ours with caramelized onions and cheese. Why? Because cheese makes everybody happy… unless you're lactose intolerant (sorry about that). And the caramelized onions hit it with just a touch of sweetness.

Surf and Turf Skewers

This is Mama Miche, and today, in my magic kitchen: Surf and Turf Skewers

It's the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day, when Americans remember the soldiers who died for our freedoms. God bless them and their families.

It's also the season of food on a stick. From fairgrounds to backyard BBQs. If you were with us last summer, you know that kebabs or skewered foods of any kind are magical to me. I don't know what it is; it's just a vibe.
