Extreme Salad

-

There are salads and there are SALADS...

This is something that can be used as a side dish to your meal, or as the main course.

Don't make a boring salad, spruce it up a bit. Add all the good stuff.

For lunch or an afternoon snack one day try eating an 'Extreme salad'. I myself am not a great fan of salads. I am not the type of person that goes to a restaurant and orders a salad.

No,No not me. I go for the good stuff :  )

But once in a while it is great to eat. But I'm not just talking vegetables and starve the rest of the day. Nor, suffer through every bite. I'm talking an extremely delicious salad that you cannot get enough of.


Here I made a salad using Romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers, diced strawberries, diced cheese and (you cannot see it in this photo but I also added croutons and chicken pieces on the spot when it was time to eat; because croutons tend to get mushy if you leave them in the salad. You have to add it at the time you will eat it.) I actually used the chicken pictured on 'Clean or Dirty chicken' and 'The Seasoning'

I used Italian dressing with my salad. For that added fresh yummy flavor

My oh my was my lunch filling, guilt free, quick, easy and delicious.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth.
