Roasted Veggies with Rosemary

I made a mix of zucchini, brussels sprouts and beets and added a ton of fresh rosemary. I used olive oil and black pepper, then roasted until soft. Note: seek out smaller beets. If not, peel the big ones. The peels on the small ones are tender and yummy to me, but the bigger beets' peels are thick and fibrous.

Dangerous Supplements

Be careful and check your supplements at one of the many websites that test them.

Rosemary Garlic Chicken with Grapefruit

Marinated drums in grapefruit juice, tons of fresh rosemary, a few pieces of chopped white onion and garlic. Later, sprinkled with pepper and paprika. I removed the lid halfway through baking to concentrate the sauce and brown the meat.

Mahi Mahi with Asparagus

Trader Joe's frozen mahi mahi comes out nice, good texture and mild flavor. I made it with asparagus sauteed in some pasture butter.

Stay Away from Processed Meats

Jerk Bison Ribeye

While trying to think of ways to use jerk seasoning, I grabbed a Lindner bison ribeye. I grilled it on my stovetop grill after sprinkling it with jerk and some extra black pepper. As you can see, I like my bison still mooing.

Fresh Halibut

Sometimes you can find good deals at ethnic markets. This fresh wild halibut was $6.99 a pound at Nijiya. I made it with Spicely Shrimp and Crab Broil. The first four ingredients are paprika onions garlic and mustard.

Chicken Curry Cauliflower in One Pot

Throw your chicken, washed and cut cauliflower in a big oven-safe pan and add pepper and the curry of your choice. I used extra turmeric. It made more than three complete meals with minimal effort.

Creole Yellowtail

Our New Orleans friends recommended Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning. I used it to do up a piece of my overfished (crap!) yellowfin from Trader Joe's. I'm always instructing others to READ INGREDIENTS. Turns out this seasoning is composed mostly of salt, so it is meant to be used sparingly. My fish was pretty but tooth-numbing.

Look for low- or no-sodium versions or make your own with red pepper and garlic.
