GRILLED RAINBOW TROUT

 Well, tis the season for grilling......The weather is warm and the idea of enjoying your meals outside is high on the menu. During the past three years eating At Home, has been encouraged, so for those of you who have a home, an apartment with a terrace or a back yard, this Blog is for you. Fish, chicken, shrimp, pork and vegetables are great dinner entrées. For those of you who happen to be in an apartment without those things but still enjoy grilling do not be afraid to take it to the park, beach or in front your building, grilling is good no matter where you do it (That sounds a lot like Sex)!

What I usually do when at the grocery store, I focus on some wonderful seasonings such as, Garlic and Herbs, Steak seasonings. Adobo, Old Bay, liquid smoke etc.  I also like to roast potatoes along with the fish along with zucchini, green and yellow, eggplant, squash, the list is long its whatever you like.

Don't forget to pick up a couple of lemons and maybe some garlic bread. Grilled fish is a wonderfully light summers dinner to prepare outside. In other words, you know what you and your family like so go ahead and season your fish and other grill items with your favorite spices.  There are so many seasonings to choose from I just named a few.  Take your time in the market and look around, don't be afraid to try different things just be sure to read the labels and I assure you that you will be surprised at how you can make you food taste like five-star restaurant meals.

This is a very easy meal if you wanted to enjoy with friends or just with family if you don't mind spending more for good fresh fish, pork, chicken or beef and having a few good selections, then I would suggest checking out Wegman's market. Wegman's has a large variety of just about everything, I am sure you will be happy with whatever you purchase there.

The grilled fish below was prepared with grilled Zucchini and fresh corn salad which makes a great side dish.  I prepared the corn dish with diced onions, diced green/red the peppers, parsley little garlic powder and some mint leaves as garnish.  As I said before if you are looking for an easy dish, grilled fish is the way to go!

  

So, friends go ahead and have yourself a wonderful 2022 Summer "AT HOME" !!!

Karen's Beef & Chicken Stir Fry

 Times are harder than usual in 2022, than it's been in the past years.  The Covid Virus is still with us. We are still wearing mask to protect ourselves from Covid. People are staying away from crowds. Cooking at home has become more popular in the last three years than ever before. Thomas and I have been doing more cooking at home these days and loving it.  We usually enjoy Chinese food at least once a week, so I decided to put my culinary skills to use and make my own Chinese beef and chicken creation stir fry. This dish is not the usual, but it Works.

I like to cook quick and easy especially in this 97-degree weather. So, how I planned this meal was to use all the ingredients I usually keep in my refrigerator.  It just so happened I had some ready to eat Beef steak and rotisserie chicken. This ready to eat seasoned meat is the best thing since sliced Bread, there are so many meals you can prepare in a short period of time.

I used a wok to cook my stir fry in because the pan needed to be very very hot, then I julienned my onions and green peppers put them in the hot wok and sauteed them until soft.  While that was cooking, I

had water boiling for the angel hair pasta. The good thing about this dish is that the meat is already sliced, seasoned and cooked so you can be ready to eat in no time. One of the ingredients I used was a stir fry seasoning pack along with a tablespoon or two of Thai chili sauce and Chinese 5 seasoning and low sodium soy sauce.

Things are looking good so far.
The sauce is in, and it is thickening then Whal La!!!

LETS EAT!!!!!!!!!!

IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
