Growing up I had my fair share of squid. Not just fried calamari, but simmered in red sauce, served atop angel hair pasta, and my personal favorite, Italian Calamari Salad. Growing up Italian seafood was in abundance in my home because we adored it in our house. As I got older and dined out more on…

Spanish Style Mussels with Chorizo
I love seafood and fish. I feel so healthy and light when I eat it. It just feels right for my body. I have a fondness for mussels that began early in my childhood as my mother and I loved Spicy Mussel Marinara and I couldn’t get enough when she made it for me. As…
