Summer in the South is especially hot and I don’t like heating up the house in the middle of the day to cook myself a meal and make the house even hotter, so what is the solution? A salad!
A bag of salad mix ( I used a Farmers Blend as it was on manager special)
a half pint of slice cherry tomatoes
small avocado, chunked small
2 tsp of chia seed
dressing of choice
*optional to add a can of tuna or leftover chicken
my cousin Amy and I were on a hunt for postcards and a souvenir T-shirt for our cousin Charlie, and in the meantime, we found some really cool stuff and amazing architecture.
while at walking was a lot of fun, there was a slight bit of a scary moment. There, as a Jesuit piece fell down and had a really bloody nose; so after helping him get himself together, we continued to adventure, and found a really pretty chapel dedicated to Saint Joan of arc.
Amy and I thoroughly enjoyed a Middle Eastern meal at a restaurant called FiFi which is located on Wisconsin Avenue
I lived in Germany for over a year (in the northern part of the Black Forrest) and it was common to have either a “warm or cold” meal. I am not sure the inspiratoin or cultural aspect behind this but it was a “thing” for sure!
I chose a cold lunch today, German style, sans the liverwurst (I am not personally a fan of pate or organ meat, of any sort.)
I used whipped cream cheese versus pate/liverwurst on my toasted brotchen and sliced raw veggies and drank a tea with it. Lecker!
Sometimes we just need a quick, easy hot meal.

Sometimes life is just crazy and we need a quick meal.
2 pieces of frozen Tilapia Filets
1 can of New Potatoes
6 green onions, trimmed and chopped
4 large radishes, chopped
Tony Satchere’s and Butter
Put butter in a deep pan, add frozen fish, seasonings, can of potatoes, and onions-put on medium heat for about 20 minutes, until fish is thoroughly cooked. Dish out on to 2 plates, with the cut radishes split between the 2 plates.
Serve!
It’s so easy, so good, and pretty healthy
Yes, I have been cooking different recipes as of late to add to my cooking skills, for starter, but also to add variety to the palate, without breaking the bank or hunting all over the state for ingredients. Friends, family, pinterest, old world cook books–all are wonderful resources!
The coating for the chicken (I used chicken breasts but any cut of chicken, boneless or not would work well) is pretty easy.
The Coating:
2 cups of cornmeal flour, add salt, pepper, dehydrated onions, cumin, dry parsley flakes, italian season, and minced garlic (I used the minced garlic that comes in a jar.)
Coat each piece of chicken in egg wash and the mix, twice over each (it’s thick, but that’s the inten.) Put in a deep pan with olive oil (you can use corn oil, too, if it’s what you prefer.)
Cook the chicken until it’s about 90% cooked through, put a bag of frozen veggies on top (I used a bag of the corn, peas, corn, and green bean mix.) Cook for about 8 more minutes, pull out the chicken and veggies and plate. While the chicken is resting, make a sauce.
The sauce is from the pan “drippings”. Add a couple of spoons of the cornbread coating mix left over from the coating; mix it all together until it’s pasty and getting toasted. Add either water or chicken broth mixing slowly on medium heat and ladel over the chicken and vegetables. Serve with a side of sliced tomatoes.
Super yummy and super easy to make! It can be reduced in quantity for smaller meal or increased easily for feeding many!
Sleeping post work, my door bell rang. I woke up and told the person I would be there in a minute.
Upon answering the doorbell, there wasn’t a person on the other side of the door but there was a chinese food delivery: A large container of vegetable fried rice, no receipt, and 2 sodas. I didn’t order a delivery and I wanted to tell the delivery person that I hadn’t ordered anything and he delivered to the wrong address but the person was long gone.
So, what was a girl to do? I, of course, ate the delivery for lunch, since I was woken up and realized I was hungry. A soda and a meal on someone else’s effort. Thank you to the person who mis-delivered the food!
Yes, I used up some ingredients I had around the kitchen. I figure there is no point in letting anything go to waste and since the items were already there it created quite a different recipe for myself and my Sweetness, whom came over for dinner for this evening.
As you can hear in the video, I hacked a little, the spices flared up and I reacted to the spicyness of it all, but it was so worth it. It turned out very flavorful and a bit spicy. My Sweetness even gave it 2 thumbs up!
Sometimes we need things that are easy and don’t cost an arm and a leg while we are busy doing other things but we also don’t want to eat “junky crappy” food either. Here’s a combo that made it super easy (and I happened to pick up the soup on sale 2 weeks ago while grocery shopping.) The cornbread is technically homemade with help, a lovely combo!
Recipe
Dump the Box of Soup into a medium pan, warm on medium low heat (start after you pop the cornbread into the oven)
Open the box of cornbread, dump into a mixing bowl with milk and egg (directions are on the side of the box)
Bake the Cornbread according to the package directions; you can put it into a muffin pan or in a greased 8×8 baking dish; either way works.
Once the cornbread is done and the soup is hot, serve up. I found that the cornbread and soup makes four small servings or 2 larger servings.
