Red Pepper - Chicken Fajitas

1/2 white onion - sliced
1/2 red bell pepper - sliced
tortillas
  optional toppings ~ sour cream, cheese, hot sauce, & salsa.

Mahi Mahi with Mango Chutney

2 Mahi Mahi filets
Lemon juice
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 tsp of black pepper

Mango Chutney recipe
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tbsp diced garlic
1/2 large diced onion
1 red bell pepper diced
1 diced mango
3 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp red pepper flakes

Bake the mahi mahi at 400 for 10-15 minutes. This fish has the skin still on it & has a very fishy taste. The chutney is a paleo recipe, so it was not as sweet as I would have liked it, but it was very healthy. Also the recipe for the chutney did not say how long to cook it for I would say it needs a good 35- 50 minutes for it to soften.  I see areas for improvement, & I can't wait to tweak this recipe & make it my own!

Whole Wheat - French Toast

6 slices of whole wheat bread
3 eggs
1 can of evaporated milk (5oz)
1 tbsp cinnamon (or more!)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup sugar

Toast the bread first in the toaster. Wisk together ingredients for the batter. Slice toasted bread in half (makes it easier to flip & you can fit more in skillet!) Soak bread in batter & then cook in heated skillet until browned. Serve with powdered sugar & syrup on top!  Eat this for breakfast or dinner!

Zucchini - Turkey Lasagna

1 lb ground turkey
1 white diced onion
2 tbsp diced garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried italian seasoning
1 tsp black pepper
1 jar of pasta sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
grated parm cheese
3 medium zucchini
Think I have perfected my recipe... you may think with turkey this dish would be bland, but that is not the case! Make sure you add lots of garlic, dried herbs & black pepper & your taste buds will rejoice! Cook the turkey completely in skillet with onions & garlic. Add seasonings & sauce. Use a mandoline slicer to easily slice the zucchini in even slivers. Layer like normal lasagna but use the zucchini in place of the noodles! Bake at 355 for 45-60 mins, how long you cook will depend on if you like your zucchini al dente or not.
 Happy cooking my friends!

Mini pizzas

Tonight we had cute little mini pizzas! I made some bread with my BreadMan bread maker today. And I cut the loaf into slices to use as the crust! To make the bread, I add wheat germ & flax seeds to up the nurtitional value! After slicing the bread, I topped with some pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese & turkey pepperoni. I always add extra diced garlic & oregano to the pre-made sauces, makes it extra yummy!

Barramundi!

My NEW FAVORITE FISH! SO delicious! If you have not tried this fish, you are seriously missing out! Very tender, really good texture; & without the 'fishy' taste. I put some lemon juice & extra virgin olive oil & rubbed into fish. After that I just sprinkled some of my favorite seafood seasoning, Weber's Zesty Lemon Seasoning. Bake at 400 for 10-15 mins. For sides we had a salad, & I baked some sweet potatoes.

Beef Stir-fry

Buy the beef whole, not already pre-cut for you. I know it saves time, but my husband eats a lot of meat & you get more than if they have already cut it for you. This is a paleo dinner, with no rice. I added fresh broccoli & green pepper. I first added some diced onions to the pan & then the beef. Next add some worchestershire & soy sauce & lots of black pepper. Add the veggies cook until tender with the lid on.
