Avocado Madness



Sunday lunch of avocado, red cabbage, salad greens, and sole from the Santa Monica Farmers Market, cooked it with garlic and Italian seasoning from Spicely.
Second pic - avocado mess with lemon juice and Penzey's Northwest seasoning, which is tasty but a little too salty for me after all.

Tomatoes Basil and Bison NY Strip



Where can you go wrong? Large beefsteak tomato with Japanese basil, lemon juice, olive oil and a sprinkling of Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning, black pepper. Lindner bison NY strip, decided to try it still cold inside. It almost tasted like fish, not too much of a surprise since grass fed bison is high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Paprika Chicken a New Way


I marinated my chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice and plenty of Hungarian paprika, then sprinkled it with black pepper. I baked it with the lid on first, then took it off to let the juices concentrate. The chicken came out flavorful and moist and stayed that way through three days of leftovers. Score!

Weekly Prep - Zucchini Frittata


Got 20 minutes? Then you have breakfast for four days. I made a frittata by sauteeing onions, baby broccoli and a ton of sweet tender baby zucchini, then adding my lightly beaten eggs, topped with raw baby Swiss cheese. This frittata is seasoned mainly with Spice World's Mexican Seasoning, plus a bit of chili powder and black pepper. I simply cooked this one covered on the stovetop.
