Turkey Sausage Quesadillas

These quesadillas were once again made in a waffle-maker. It's kind of slow if you need to feed a family of 3 or more though. Nevertheless, it's quite delicious. Bf cooked and seasoned ground turkey with ground sausage together along with some chopped onions. Place rice, beans, corns, lettuce, cheese, ground turkey n sausage etc for your meaty-licious quesadillas!

And enjoy!

Hearty Chicken Salad

We had a couple of chickens leftover and decided to make this delicious chicken salad! Made with chicken pieces, black beans, halved cherry tomatoes, slicked cucumbers, halved olives, canned corn and green leaf lettuce. It's pretty nice have meat in your salad every now n then. :D

More Chimichurri Chicken

More chicken cooked the same as last night's with plain salad with jalepeno ranch dressing and a side of frank's hot sauce with a bit of ketchup for a spicy kick. Another enjoyable dinner!

Chimi Chicken n Salad

This chimichurri sauce was bought from Nonna's Empanadas for a buck. A friend of mine introduced me to this. It's pretty freaking delicious and I now want to try n make my own. It seems simple enough... maybe for a future post.

We cooked our chicken the way we normally do. Brined overnight in salt and sugar water. Then baked in cast iron for about 40 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees F. This time we added the chimichurri sauce over the chicken as well. Our chicken was very nicely roasted on top.

This meal was truly delicious! We also had extra chimichurri sauce on the side. The sliced green stuff on the left are cucumber strips followed by sliced vine tomatoes over a bed of lettuce with a little leftover mango salad. soooooooo good. sooooooooooo tasty! :D

Peanut Butter Banana Nutella Sandwich

This is exactly what the title is and no more. Pretty yummsters! I think I'll add strawberries next time...

Mango Veggie Salad

Mmmmmm, this was extremely delicious and outta this world because we have never had a mango salad before!

The recipe for this salad includes:

2 tsp canola oil

2-3 clove garlic, minced

1 canned kernel corns

1/2 brown onion, chopped 

2 mangos, diced

1 cup of black beans

1 colored bell pepper (I used yellow)

3/4 of a box of halved cherry tomatoes

1 cucumber, chopped

2 tbs fresh cilantro, chopped

3 tbs lemon juice

1 generous dash of cumin powder

1/4 tsp kosher salt 

Heat a frying pan up with the oil and minced garlic. Once garlic is browned, add corn. Once corn is slightly browned, set aside. Then brown the onions til it's soft and somewhat transparent. Mix with the corn n garlic. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Then serve.

For the original recipe, go here.

This turned out to be a pretty good looking and great tasting mixed salad with just about everything you can  put in a salad. Each bite was different yet always delicious. So delicious, it definitely does NOT need any kind of dressing. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... I definitely want more everytime I see this. You could also put the salad in a corn tortilla and top with salsa verde. It's pretty freaking delicious too (according to my bf and pops).

Leftovers

Sooooo, the noodles in our stew overexpanded and soaked up all the broth. I figured the best way to make use of it is to turn it into a casserole. So I placed our lamb stew into a casserole dish and topped with bread crumbs n shredded cheddar cheese. Heat in microwave til hot, then broil for a nice crispy top. Then top with more cheddar cheese. Turned out pretty good! Wish I had more bread crumbs for the top though.

Heat leftover salmon in frying pan. Add a bit of oil or pat of butter beforehand. Then place on top of a serving of the old lamb stew turned casserole dish... teehee. Purty yumsters!

Broiled Salmon

Raw Salmon with skin on one side                    Lemon Zest

With the recipe taken from food network, we used 1/3c brown sugar, 1 tbs lemon zest and 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper and placed them in a food processor until well blended. Then spread the mixture on the salmon and let the salmon sit for about 40 minutes. Then place in oven to be broiled until nicely browned.

Ta-da! This was super scrumptious! We will definitely do this again. sooooooooo gooooooooooooooooood!
