Hearty Breakfast

So the boyfriend and I actually woke up in time to enjoy a nice hearty (late) breakfast of applewood bacon, toast, and a healthy salmon patty with a cuppa joe. Such goodness for the heart and tummy!

Om nom nom nom nom

Banana Nut Raisin Bread

To get this yummy bread, mix 2c flour, 1.5t baking powder, 1t baking soda, lots of cinnamon, 1/4t salt, 1/8t nutmeg. This is your flour mixture. In a second bowl, mix 3old bananas mashed with 2 eggs, 3/4c sugar, and 1/2c oil. Add this to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. Mix in lots of walnuts and raisins to your hearts' desire. Pour batter into glassware and bake for about an 1hr at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In the next 10 minutes (where it was supposed to cool off), almost half of the loaf was gone! 

Good thing tomorrow we're going to get more bananas!

Breakfast of Champs

 Two sunnyside ups, some strips of applewood smoked bacon

 and toast

gives you the breakfast of champions. Such deliciousness in our tummy.

My boyfriend made us a big breakfast because we'll be at Six Flags the whole day today and will need lots of energy!

Meat-slaw Sammie

What to do with so much meat-slaw???

mmmm, toasting bread

We'll have a meat-slaw sammie! with pepperjack cheese for an added kick!

This was a yummy creation!

Meat-slaw

 Looks good so far with minced garlic, chopped onions and broccoli.

Then ground beef was added along with a mix of seasonings

Then cabbage was added to the meat slaw. Serve a scoop of meat-slaw with a slice of leftover costco pizza and this was our dinner for the night. It actually turned out pretty good. I'd say it's balanced meal with your meats and veggies in play.

Breakfast Sandwich

You can't tell, but this was one delicious breakfast sandwich!!!

Starting from bottom to top: It's a toast layered with creamy peanut butter, sliced bananas, more peanut butter, another warm toast and topped with homemade strawberry jam (from a friend). As an afterthought, I should've added a layer of whipped cream!

This was one helluva breakfast sandwich with a glass of nice chill milk. 

sooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddd

Cross Rib Steaks n Veggies

 Basically, just take your thin steak pieces and lightly cover with lawry's salt on both sides and place in iron skillet.

 Cook it however you like.

 For easy chomping, slice the steaks

 Add broccoli. We never seem to have other kinds of veggies in the fridge....

Plate and chomp chomp chomp on such savory deliciousness!

Pizza and Chicken Wings

Okay, so we didn't actually make this. It came out of a box because it was one of those days both me and my hubster did not feel like cooking. All we did was take this baby and place it in an oven.

 

 

 The above chicken wings were also store bought.

Put them all together on a plate and you got yourself a decent meal without any effort.

Variation of Yesterday's Leftovers

Same meal as yesterday's only this time I added some green veggies and carrots for a more balanced meal. For fruit, we ate peaches this time. I must say leftovers have been pretty good lately. :D

Leftover Top Round with Curry n Bread

We took leftovers from Monday and made a curry sauce. The bread was toasted and dipped in the delicious thick curry. There was no veggies this night. But the food was still pretty yummy!

For dessert, we stayed a bit on the healthy side with cantaloupes! It was super sweet. Yum!

Braised Top Round

nom nom nom

and sorbets!

Saturday Luncheon

This Saturday, my bf and i went to visit a friend for a bit of a cook-off, only there was no competition, only a chow down of lots of delicious foodies! We all brought different items. Good eats!

 

 

 

There was guava passion fruit orange sorbet as well. (I brought our ice cream maker).

So much deliciousness that we all went home happy :D

Pulled Pork

 Place pork pieces in a slow cooker

 Pull pork to make it look like the above

Make peas for veggies

 And voila! You've got yourself a delicious meal! Yummy!

Turkey Stir Fry

This is one of those dinners that wasn't as great as all the other dinners, nor did it look as appealing as the others. But hey, you can't have everything everyday, can you.

This dish was made with ground turkey, scrambled eggs, bell peppers, onions, cumin, taco seasonings and other spices. It's pretty good for what it is.

Leftover Curry

This curry has everything in it from leftover curry cubes, leftover tofu n peas, leftover bell peppers n onions, leftover tri tip slices, leftover pepperonis, and some added spices. It came out tasting pretty good. 

The final plating came out like this. It was a very very gooooooooood dish!

Nom nom nom

Braised TriTip, Veggies n Ice Cream!

Today's dinner consisted of braised tri tip (super delicious), bell peppers n onions for veggies, and steamed rice.

And then there's dessert (all homemade). Top is vanilla ice cream. Bottom left is passionfruit orange sorbet. Bottom right is mint chocolate chip. (super duper deliciousness!)

White Fish and Tofu

Meat that is not of land! Yay!!

Seasoning: 1/4 c ea minced garlic, ginger and sesame seeds

Steam white fish with slices of ginger approx 8 minutes.

Heat oil and add seasoning mixture to sauce pan until fragrant. Then add a bit of sesame oil to and heat for another minute. Then add 1/4 c of reduced sodium soy sauce.
