Simple salad:
1) Bed of baby spinach leaves
2) One whole sliced avacado
3) Baby shrimp placed on top
4) Top with extra virgin olive oil
Healthy and good..I get fresh french bread to dip in the oil when the salad is gone..
Oh, I almost forgot. This is sooo easy.
Grilled Talapia or Orange Roughy.
Frozen fish fillets
lemon juice
salt, pepper
Put frozen fish fillet on George Foreman grill, sprayed with cooking spray.
Salt and pepper fillet.
Cook for a few minutes till done.
Drizzle lemon juice on grilled fillet.
Your recipes sound easy and tasty. Thanks!
1. Get some bread, put it in the toaster.
2. Push the button down and wait.
3. When it pops up, put it on a plate.
4. Get some butter and put it on the toast.
5. Your toast is ready to eat.
Easy is the only kind of cooking I can do. :-)
It makes the best toast with just butter or butter and strawberry jam. Good for a late night snack.
Is there a need for any kind of special tool or device in order to apply the butter mixture to the toasted bread?
Water : Drink
LOL! Right on!
Here's another all time favorite:
1. Make lettuce salad sprinkled with lemon juice.
2. Look at it all during the news.
3. Go to Wendy's.
I'd say we need HELP! Thank goodness for this thread!
Me too-- I love salads/veggies.
I'm not as big a fan on fruits, but I love cantaloupe and watermelon. Yummy stuff.
And LOTS of it. Best thing for the body.
Can I use a napkin or a paper towel instead?
In brown paper lunch sack, dump in about half a cup of flower, about a tsp of salt, about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder, and about 1/2 tsp of paprika, about 1/2 tsp of pepper, close top of bag, and then shake it so everything inside is all well blended.
SECRET TO THAWING THE CHICKEN: Select however much chicken you're going to need for that night's meal from the giganto-bag of frozen chicken breasts or tenderloins you've got in the freezer. Put the pieces of chicken in a regular cheapie food storage bag -- NOT a ziplock!!! They leak! -- and tie a knot in the top. Put that bag into another food storage bag and tie a knot in that one, too, so now you have the frozen chicken double-bagged. Fill your kitchen sink about a third up with water from the cold tap, and plop the bagged chicken in the water. It will be thawed in 45 minutes to an hour, works better if you turn the bag over about halfway through. Just like an ice cube melting in water. IGNORE the dumbo health warnings that tell you not to thaw meat this way. I've been doing it with frozen chicken, beef, lamb, pork, for at least a decade and we've never once had a problem. The double-bagging is important because sure as shootin', a single bag will leak and you'll have water in your chicken. I learned the hard way.
Put the thawed chicken pieces in the paper bag of flower/paprika/garlic powder blend and shake like hell until chicken is evenly coated.
Meantime, have a nice big frying pan with enough OLIVE OIL in it to cover the bottom about 1/8th of an inch deep. Have the oil heated nice and hot, at medium high heat. Put the floured chicken pieces in the hot oil, and fry hot and fast on one side until ready to turn over (when you see the juices starting to come out the top of the chicken), then turn the chicken over and cook on the other side until done. It will be crunchy and crispy on the outside, tender and moist on the inside, and way delicious. My husband LOVES this stuff. It's a little like fried chicken, but a lot less work and a heck of a lot healthier because you're not getting the chicken fat and you're frying in healthy olive oil. Not that I have anything against chicken fat ... really, I'm just a lazy cook.
It works best to swipe the stick of butter with the toast.
Thats good stuff. They have a 5 grain bread at the store by me which is decent.
Actually the pate is for uptown folks. I recommend eating it over the sink.
One pound of hamburger. (Or any ground meat)
One small onion (chopped)
two to four cups cooked rice (depends on how far you have to stretch it. Left over Chinese takeout rice works great)
One can corn (drained)
One can chopped tomatos
Garlic if you like
worcestershire sauce
Brown meat, onion and garlic in very large pan. Stir in rice, corn and tomatos. Heat throughly.
Add worcestershire sauce to taste.
Eat.
If you want to get fancy then stick it in a casserole dish and sprinkle with cheese and bake until the cheese is toasty.
LOL!!!
