Potato flake crusted snapper


I was not able to capture this dinner in the image, you'll just have to trust it was delicious! Improved over first attempt.

Remove skin from snapper. Rub with olive oil and press instant potato flakes until well covered. Season with salt and pepper and cook on medium high, 3-4 minutes on each side.

Greens with raspberry vinaigrette:
In a bowl, add equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar with 1 tsp - 1 tbsp raspberry preserves. Whisk until thick. Cut a chunk of ginger and smash to expose juice. Add to dressing until ready to serve.

Herbed potatoes
Heat oven to 450 C. Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and old bay. Cook for 20 minutes, flip, and cook for another 12-15 minutes.

Shrimp Tacos

De-shell shrimp and toss with menudo and taco seasonings. Cover and chill.


Stir fry onions until cooked, add green peppers and mushrooms. Add shrimp and cook until firm. Add cabbage and green onions. I was still lacking some flavor, so I added tomato and cilantro seasoning. Season with salt and pepper, served with jalepeno tortillas and lime slices.


My veggies were a little overcooked

French toast with berry sauce

Another french toast entry.

In a shallow dish, whisk 1 large egg with ~2/3 cup milk (I used rice milk). Add some cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Place bread in mixture, about 5 minutes on each side.



Heat oil at medium high. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. I prefer mine cooked a little longer.

For the sauce, simply blend strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries with some lime juice until smooth.

Drizzle sauce over toast. Serve with fruit and prosciutto.
