Best ever tuna melt

Filed under: Food,Seafood,Snack — Mindy M. @ 6:19 pm

You’d think I was pregnant with the cravings I get…today it was tuna…mmhhmm…So, I toasted an English muffin, mixed up some tuna salad (mayo, mustard, worchestisher, hot sauce, pickles, salt, pepper, onion powder) a slice of harvati cheese (available at costco pre sliced) and toasted the 2 mini open face sandwiches. OH MY…I want another one just thinking about it.

brainstorming

Filed under: Menu Planning — Mindy M. @ 4:25 pm

So for the longest time I’ve wanting to purchase a cuisinart ice cream maker. Unfortunately I’ve yet to do so. So, I’m stuck day dreaming…I would like to make a vanilla ice cream, then a really strong stawberry ice cream and swirl them together with a ribbon of balsamic reduction. mmmmmhhhm

forget feta salad

Filed under: Food — Mindy M. @ 2:32 am

Feta is so 2008…try goat cheese crumbles instead. OMG lusciousness…this stuff is divine. Seriously tho, my mom made me this salad when I was recuperating from the birth of my angel baby. It was so good that I limped to the kitchen to polish off the left overs then asked for it for 3 nights in a row. It’s just that good. I’ve even thrown left over pork loin chopped up in it…I bet chicken would be good…hell wrap it up in a pita. I could live off this salad

Baby Spinach
Craisins (sweetened with apple juice, is best)
candied walnuts
goat cheese crumbles
apple chunks
diced red onion
cucumber (optional)
Dewer’s poppy seed dressing

toss together and enjoy

Chinese style Orange sauce

Filed under: Food,Sauces — Mindy M. @ 12:03 am

Orange chicken at panda express has become the new sweet and sour pork. Everyone seems to love it, but why not make it at home? This recipe is not the same as the fast food chain…but it’s easy and delicious.

1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/8 cup soy sauce
1/4 tsp ginger
dash of garlic salt

easy entree…boneless chicken tenders covered in a tempura bater and deep fried. Cover in sauce and enjoy.
