Pecan Crusted Cod

Cod has become one of my favorite fish among others.  So tonight I decided to make pecan crusted cod topped with an apricot & honey drizzle, with a side of some spring mix salad and broccoli and cheddar couscous.  This dish goes great with a Riesling wine.  Cod flesh is moist and flaky when cooked…

Eggplant Alla Norma

To all my veggie lovers out there this is dish is for you.  I took eggplant, garlic, tomato sauce, onions, and mushrooms. After cooking for awhile I put everything in the blender and then returned to the pot, and added capers and chopped anchovies.  Add the pasta into the sauce.  Top with Mozzarella balls, parsley and…

BBQ Chicken

Well since we can’t do up a nice BBQ chicken on the grill why not make it on the skillet.  Homemade BBQ sauce, along side some garlic string beans and Butternut Squash Risotto.  It’s a great combination with great flavors.  If you haven’t tried Risotto give it a try.  You will be suprised at the…

Perfection

Yesterday for dinner I decided to make some filet mignon wrapped with bacon, a side of cream of spinach and roasted red skin potatoes.  What a mouth watering dish this was.  It was the perfect amount and room for dessert.  Filet mignon is considered the king of steaks because of its tender, melt in the mouth texture. A…

Taco Taco

One of my favorite foods I would have to say is Tacos,  They are super easy and fun to create with your own filling and toppings.  I have made mine with everything from fish to chicken, you can even make them vegetarian with some refried black beans.  These are the traditional ground meat tacos, with a side…

Cinnamon Muffins

I made mini Cinnamon Muffins today they were super delish.  Great with some coffee or a glass of milk, and if you warm it up again yoou can even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream with some caramel sauce drizzled on top. What is something intersting you have had with a muffin?

Delish Wrap

For dinner I decided to make a spinach wrap with toasted garlic mayo, chicken sautéed in mushrooms, topped with lettuce and avocado, and  accompanied by Terra Veggie chips.  Simple yet delishes and satisfying.  I think wraps are great options if you’re in a hurry or just want something easy for lunch or dinner.  You can fill them with anything…

Stir it up!

Tonight I decided to make some stir fry with tofu and I added some brussel sprouts in the mix.  On a bed of Jasmine Rice, which if you have never tried it’s a must, is super YUMMY.  This was an easy and yet very healthy meal.  (Sorry about the clarity in the picture, food was still steaming)…

Mama-Mia Thats Manicotti

One of the popular Italian dishes I made tonight was stuffed Manicotti.  It’s easy to make, and with Manicotti, just like stuffed shells, you can create your own unique filling; or go with the traditional ricotta and parsely. Have you created a unique filling for Manicotti or Stuffed Shells?

Did You Say Steak??

Tonight for dinner was Steak, Butternut Squash (with heavy cream and garlic) and a  Salad.  Great healthy and filling meal.  If you don’t eat meat, enjoy the butternut squash with some seafood or with just salad. No offense to zucchini, but the health benefits of fall-harvest squashes, far eclipse their summer cousins. Like all members…
