As a blogger, I feel like I have become a certain creature of habit. Always check my blog page once a week for comments and always check foodgawker at least 2x a day to see the new updates. This habit has been going on for the better part of 6 months now.
Also on foodgawker there are certain blogs I am always drwan to. One is Ezra Pound Cake which is where I stole (wohahha....evil laugh) this amazing recipe for bbq'd mahi mahi with a scrumptious yellow pepper pesto, (I think she adapted it a la southwest king Bobby Flay).
Being that it is March break time for the kids in the great white north. We have happily planted ourselves (my son and I and all other aquainted step-siblings and parentals) in the sunny state of Florida. Where my father has happily let us invade his GORGEOUS "retirement" home.(Thanks Dad!!).
Anyways back to the fish. This recipe is simple. It has a rub, fish and some homemade pesto. I served ours with some peas and rice, uber Carribbean I thought, and some prosciutto wrapped asparagus. Mmmmmmmm.
Enjoy!
