Thank you to Gorton’s for providing free product coupons so we could try various fish recipes.

Growing up in Maine, seafood has always been one of my favorite types of food.  It’s hard to beat a lobster with a side of steamed little neck clams, or a trout freshly-plucked from the stream.  It’s not quite as easy to find seafood as fresh and tasty here in Kentucky, however.

Gorton's Seafood 20 Entrees Under 200 Calories - Great to Use in Your Fish Recipes

When I get a craving for fish, and I don’t have access to fresh-caught, I turn to a seafood company like Gorton’s.  They’ve been around since 1849; companies generally don’t last that long if they don’t have a good product.  One thing I like about Gorton’s is how they always keep up with consumer needs and wants.  It’s not just fish sticks for the kiddos any more.  Now you can choose varieties like grilled tilapia or whitefish fillets.

Easy Bacon Frittata Recipe (Plus a Giveaway)

Thank you to Gooseberry Patch for providing a cookbook to try out this yummy frittata recipe.

Breakfast foods have always been some of my favorites.  Eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes, bacon.  They’re so versatile – and delicious – but I often end up serving them the same ‘ole way.  So when I saw the recipe for an Easy Bacon Frittata in Gooseberry Patch’s new cookbook “101 Farmhouse Favorites” I knew it was the first thing I wanted to try.

While I’ve always enjoyed frittatas, this was my first time attempting to make one.  I’m glad I gave it a whirl.  It was easy to complete and makes a nice change from standard breakfast or brunch fare.
