Recipes
Fish Taco with Radish Slaw
Season white fish with old bay and pepper then bake at 350 for about 20 minutes (until flaky, also any seasoning will do). Heat corn tortillas in very hot pan, individually. For radish salsa, thinly slice one bunch of radishes and three scallions. Mix together with one diced jalapeno (seeded), salt, pepper, dash of olive oil and juice of 1-2 limes. Top each tortilla with some fish, radish slaw and shredded cabbage.
Pepper Salad
chop 1/2 red onion, 3 bell peppers (any colors), hand full of fresh cilantro, 2 celery stalks, and 2 roma tomatoes. Mix together with one drained and rinsed can of black beans. Toss with dressing of 1t cumin, 1t brown sugar, 1/4 c olive oil (sometimes I use less) and 2T fresh lime juice. Then salt/pepper to taste. You can serve it as is, or over mixed greens, your choice.
Rotisserie Chicken
I just buy a rotisserie chicken from costco, or where ever, and then I slice it up to serve. Make a nice tossed green salad and a couple ears of fresh corn. This is super easy but fresh and delicious.
BBQ baby back ribs with corn and rosemary oven potatoes
Again I buy curly's baby back ribs, preseasoned and cooked, from costco. Just pop the rack either in the oven or on the bbq for about a half hour. Roll the corn in a piece of foil with a little butter, salt and pepper then pop also in oven or BBQ for same amount of time. Toss diced/wedged red potatoes with small amount to olive oil, salt, pepper and 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary chopped finely. Then bake in 425 oven for about 30-45 minutes, depending on dice size, if using a BBQ place seasoned potatoes in foil and seal edges, place on BBQ for about 30-45 minutes.
Stuffed Artichoke:
I use the everyday italian recipe, this is amazing..http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/genovese-style-artichokes-recipe/index.html this recipe calls for four artichokes, but I only make on, with about half the other ingredients, one artichoke is plenty for two people, with another dish.
Strata
4 T unsalted butter
1 minced onion
slat and pepper
1/2-1 c diced mushrooms
4-6 slices of proscuitto
6 large eggs
1 1/2 c whole milk
1 t minced fresh thyme
1 c cheddar cheese (swiss is also very good)
5 slices of sandwhich bread, cubed
heat oven to 425. Melt butter in skillet (oven safe) on med-high heat, and add onion, diced mushroom, sliced proscuitto and 1/2 t salt, about 6 minutes. Meanwhile in large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, thyme and 1/2 t pepper and mix together, then add cheese. Add bread to skillet and using rubber spatula, carefully fold bread into onion mixture until evenly coated. Cook bread folding occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in egg mixture until slightly thickened and well combined. Gently press on top of strata to help it soak up egg mixture. Bake until edges and center are puffed and edges have pulled away slightly from sides of pan, about 12 minutes, and serve. Note...you can also add some diced up asparagus to the mix when you are combining everything before it goes into the oven, I think I might do that.
