  1. The family's divided on this one. The ratings: 5 & 10 stars. Where are the Supreme Court justices when you need 'em?
     
  2. Delicious! Just the right amount of heat! Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Delicious! I used 1tsp of cayenne and it had just the right amount of kick. Thank you.
     
  4. AWSOME!!!! Followed it to a tee, but used cod instead. My wife and I loved it. Going to try shrimp and chicken next. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  5. EXCELLENT blend of flavors! I went with halibut and used 1.5 teaspoons of cayenne and it was the perfect amount of heat. We did this one on the grill tonight on a cast iron skillet. Kept the smoke and smell out of the house and came out wonderfully. Will definitely use this as my "go to" recipe for blackened fish.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small town in Oregon, still awaiting our first stop light. I work in a neighboring town as a small animal veterinarian, part-time. I have a four year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I have two large horses, a miniature horse, one dog and one cat. My husband and I enjoy anything in the out of doors. Besides spending time with family and our animals, my family and I enjoy being involved in our church and spending time with friends. Although many of my recipes posted are of desserts I like to make for family or friends, I have for the last several years ascribed to a healthier lifestyle...eating lots of protein, veggies and fruits. No, I am not a low carber....I eat the right carbs....brown rice, whole wheat bread and all in moderation. I do have several recipes posted that I use often that adhere to these guidelines. When you combine eating nutrient dense foods with monitoring your caloric intake, you can't help but be healthy! There is an awesome free website that you can use along with Zaar to help meet these goals. It is www.calorie-count.com. It takes a day or two to learn how to use it...but it is a fantastic resource for anyone wanting to analyze what they eat and figure out what your caloric expenditures and allowances should be. Like Zaar it also had a wonderful community of people with a common interest...staying healthy while enjoying foods. OK...enough of the plug...but I really do love that website! Zaar has been great for finding recipes that fit this lifestyle...many recipes can simply be modified to be healthy. The variety this gives us has made the difference in getting the whole family to eat that way....that's right...I don't think my daughter has tasted white bread more than two to three times in her life!!! On all four of her birthdays she turned up her nose at the cake I baked her (a once a year exception)....which made me so happy!! So thank you Zaar....for contributing to our healthy lifestyle...couldn't do it without you!!!
