Treat, No Trick! (Cooking Solo on Holidays)

Being that it was Halloween, all of my married friends (and I do mean ALL) had "trick-or-treat" plans with their families, my Halloween dinner plans were to dine solo. Realizing I had began the defrosting process of my Mahi Mahi from yesterday, I decided to head to Maxine's to cook up dindin. With my dog already at her house, I brought the goods to cook and eat before heading off to Brynn's for a chill night of movies with the singles. I think tonight was one of the first night's in a very long time I wish I had my immediate family--immediate being my hubby, my kids and me. Oh well...so here's the treat that took me to yummy-land for about 15 minutes of the evening. I was by myself, filming it myself, while cooking for myself--yes, I was bored. Excuse the poor filming and the mess...my girl had no napkins, no paper towels, no handles on her cookware...and to top it off, I couldn't find a flippin' potholder! Never-the-less, her cozy place and my Mahi-dish had me feeling at ease in no time!


Ingredients:

2 Fish mahi mahi fillet raw (about 4 - 6 oz each)
1/4 teaspoon table garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 teaspoons Olive Oil
1/4 Bag of Trader Joe's Fire Roasted Vegetables
1/8 Bag of Trader Joe's Asparagus Spears


Pour oil in a large frying pan, seasoning with garlic salt and pepper. Heat over medium-high heat. Cook fish and onion in oil for 3 minutes. Flip fish over as needed to cook thoroughly.
Meanwhile, warm of Fire Roasted Vegetables and Asparagus Spears until cooked well.
When finished, take fish out of pan, adding to vegetable mix. Ready to serve. Serves 1 - 2 portions, depending on hunger level. Tonight I ate it...ALL! :)

Until next time...take a fun pic of you and your loved ones!

Bon Appetit!

Ratatouille???

I don't know about you but I have love, love, loved the rain that has finally kissed us with it's sweet lips. Surprisingly, this morning's rain came with some pretty fierce wind, which having just moved here from Oklahoma (where the winds come crashing through the plains), it somewhat threw me for a loop. After enjoying the sounds of rain from inside the house while working in the garage, I decided I wanted nothing more than to eat something warm and somewhat soupish. Unfortunately I have not done a whole lot of shopping since my move back, leaving with me no choice but to doll up an organic can of beans. This week was kinda tough in that I had a whole lot going on! I had to relinquish the love of my life, Luke, to an adoptive parent who could give him a home, as I am still looking for mine and I staying with friends. My other Beagle, Tulsa, is staying at a bachelor pad with some friends of mine who I've known for a very long time. The plan is for Tulsa and I to move in...

Holy Crepe...Crepes ARE For Kids!

This week got off to the perfect start by watching last week's episode of Next Food Network Star , only to be followed by this week's (gotta love TiVo) ! However this time, the experience was a tad bit different--unlike my night on the town at the NFNS Los Angeles Viewing Party with the actual contestants at South in Santa Monica, I was at The Bates watching " Sweet to Savory Carnival " with my girlfriend and her kids. They were an easy sell--all it took was the first few minutes of the second episode and they were hooked. So off we were to a great beginning...kids-n-all! Giada had already proven herself kid-worthy to watch with Gracie, who is not-yet six years old. With Joshua, 10, jumping in feet first into our food network telie feast, he decided that not only does he love to eat food, but that it looked easy enough to make, asking us if we could make crepes the next day. "Can we make crepes tomorrow?" is the question that continued on and on for the...
