    After a long day at work, the last thing I wanted to do was adventurously attempt some new and elaborate recipe. I needed something fast, easy and delicious!  With an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink collection of vegetables and enough barley to sink a small ship, I ventured into Pilaf land and was totally satisfied with my trip. And what to pair with a pilaf? Mmm…mahi mahi!

    I breaded two filets of mahi mahi (Trader Joe’s has yummy flash-frozen filets for pretty cheap) and pan-fried them in a bit of olive oil. Success! The crust turned out crispy and delicious.

    About Mo

    The Story of Mo

    Told by Holly

    Maureen (Mo) Sullivan is one of the three crows holding down the Jamaica Plain Nest. Originally from New Jersey, she is the first person to introduce the words “yuengling” and “taylor ham” into my vocabulary. Although she still enjoys these nostalgic tastes, her culinary palette goes far beyond these items. Mo is always ready to take on the challenge of a new dish, but is equally happy reinventing the classics. When it comes to beverages, Three Philosophers, Stone, La Chouffe or any other finely crafted brew will stop this crow mid flight. Her Kitchen philosophy is simple: no meal should be created without the accompaniment of great tunes and that the best dinner parties should end with dancing.

    Living in a house filled with wonderful yet hungry roommates Mo has become a master at feeding the masses with home cooked meals. Some notable dishes include Vegetarian Chili, Vodka Sauce w/ Linguine, Baked Mac and Cheese, and who can forget all of the Pizza Plans! Mo also happens to be a member of the Crow Bake team, alongside Emily and Riane and has perfected the art of making cheesecakes. She never lets a friend’s birthday pass without whipping up a tasty treat; in return we jokingly refer to her as “Mama” Mo. It is her strong ties to family and friends as well as her inclusive nature that helps to keep us crows such a tight knit group.

      I love the flash frozen fish at trader joes. I made tuna salad with the flash frozen tuna…so much better than canned tuna!
