Pacific Fish Marinade

This marinade makes for a great summer flavor. I’ve used it as a marinade for smoke salmon, which leaves it so moist in the cente. The sweet citrus flavor also works to give a freshness to chicken and pork.  Skewer some vegetables and use this as a baste while they grill. For a good side to whip up quick, slice up some pears and carrots, top with a little of this and mix up. It may sound weird but it’s so tasty.

Sesame Tuna Steaks

You can find tuna steaks on sale from time to time, since they were on special at the store this weekend, I picked some up and made a great glaze, marinated them and threw them on the grill. Made for a tasty lunch along with a caesar salad. Tua only takes a few minutes which is great to make quickly.

Corned Beef Brisket

Nothing says Irish food like Corned beef and potatoes. For St Patty’s day this year, i made up 2 four pound Beef briskets and sliced them up real nice and thin. I’ve had more ruebens in the last 3 days than I have all year. But for the price, a cheap cut of meat like brisket can really be tenderized up by cooking it low and slow. The store had it on sale for about $2.50 a pound so I stocked up and between sides, sauerkraut, bread and meat, it cost me about $25 to make like 8 solid full meals. Not bad at all to help save some money for the Killian’s and Jameson.

Super Easy Broccoli Soup

I made this soup after coming across the video on youtube. It’s so easy it’s stupid and it makes for a good healthy lunch. I like broccoli but usually only when it’s stir fried in a sauce so I added a few things to mix it up. I threw in 3 cloves of garlic and about 1/3 of an onion to the broccoli as it boiled and then added that to the food processor. Also, Instead of drizzling the Olive Oil in the bowl I just added about a tablespoon to the blender as well so that it was mixed in. Instead of the walnuts and goat cheese, I just shredded some pepper jack cheese and then I used Sriracha to drizzle over at the end.

Apricot Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry

  • by

I tried this recipe out during the week and it turned out pretty good. I didn’t go off of anything in particular So the recipe is pretty basic, maybe taking all of 20 to prep and cook, and the cost was minimal as well. I made up some rice and along with this was able to feed 3 guys for dinner and still had leftovers for the next day. I used canned diced tomatoes with sweet onions, you can find all types so whatever floats your boat works.Read More »Apricot Chicken and Asparagus Stir Fry
