HONEY HORSEY GLAZED SALMON

Honey Horsey Glazed Salmon  




3 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Maple Syrup
1 tbsp Horseradish sauce
1 teas. Garlic powder
1 teas. Basil



I like to saute some fresh mushrooms up to cover the salmon with too. Whip all seasonings and sauces together. Lay Wild Caught Salmon out in a shallow pan. (I spray the bottom and sides of the pan slightly).
Poke some holes in the salmon with a fork. Pour glaze mixture over the Salmon and salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms. Bake at 350* for 20 plus minutes. Enjoy! C'mon! Can it get any easier than that?

TOFU VEGGIE SCRAMBLE

Hmmm....Tofu? Well I wanted to try a few recipes with it because I am leaning towards a more Pescatarian/Plant strong lifestyle -more veggies, fruits, beans, nuts and legumes, whole wheat products with minimal amounts of meat. (Pescatarian is basically a vegetarian who includes seafood.) 

This was yummy! With clementines on the side.  :)


And guess what? This was very good! Tofu tends to take on the flavor with which its cooked, i.e. garlic, soy sauce, bbq etc. and to be honest, in this recipe it tasted just like scrambled eggs. 

1 Pkg. Very Firm Tofu (I use organic) 
1 cup baby spinach
1/2 Green bell pepper
1/2 Red pepper
1 yellow onion
1 Teas. onion powder
1/2 Teas cumin (if you like spicy)
2 Tlbs. minced garlic (I use the jarred kind)
chopped green onion
Salt and Pepper
and any spices you want to add

Extract every bit of water from the Tofu that you possibly can -via paper towels wrapped around it and squeezing and pressing all the water out. Chop the tofu up into bite size pieces. Use Olive oil in your pan.Then just throw everything together in the skillet. Toss and cook until the veggies are done to your liking. :)
This is uncooked. See how the tofu is chopped?

CHICKEN PASTA ALFREDO

This is the easiest casserole you will ever make! It's what I call a "throw together" meal.

1 lb Rotini Pasta
2 large cans of chicken
Alfredo sauce. 1 lg. bottle any kind. (you may want to use more if you'd like it creamier)
2 Tbs minced garlic
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Red flaked peppers
1 bag frozen peas
1/2  onion diced
Mozzarella shredded cheese
Dried onions

Boil the pasta as the directions say. Meanwhile "throw together" the Alfredo sauce with all  spices and onions and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Drain canned chicken, break into small pieces and add to the heated Alfredo. Heat the peas in the microwave as directions say and add to mixture.
Pour the mixture over the drained cooked pasta and coat all. Pour everything into a pan. Cover with cheese (I use a lot of mozzarella cheese) and then sprinkle with the dried onion as topping and bake uncovered 15 minutes at 350*  YUMMY!.

SWEET CHILI

2 lbs. ground beef
3 cans (16 oz) light red kidney beans (I do not drain)
1 can (28 oz) Crushed tomato in puree
1 cup coffee (yep)
1 bottle dark beer (optional -fortunately if you are like me and don't like dark beer they now sell them individually in some stores)
1 red onion (chopped up)
2 full tablespoons of minced garlic
1/2 cup packed brown sugar 
2 teas. Cumin
1 tbs. chili powder
1 teas black pepper
1 teas salt (I use sea salt)
1 teas garlic powder (yeah, I know I use 2 kinds)

Brown your ground beef. While doing that add all ingredients to a big pot. Add browned ground beef (which you have already drained) and simmer for an hour or so. Add sour cream and shredded cheese to top and it's a very good sweet chili!

As I said on my home page I would probably next time use 1/4 cup less sugar and add a little more chili seasoning or cumin. I like mine a little spicier but I did the sweet for my husband.
Enjoy! To go back to the blog, click here
