Breakfast

This is something I whipped up for my husband this morning. Just thought I'd post a blog since I'm always cooking and whats more fun then to admire food that looks appealing. So there you have it, good ol' spicy pork patty and fried egg on a flaky buttery biscuit smothered with grape jelly. Doesn't that just make your mouth water?

Homemade Sesame Seared Tuna

Easy, great tasting tuna coated with sesame seeds, and quickly seared. This tuna is served rare, so be sure to use a good quality fresh tuna. Tuna Steak Ingredients: 1st coating -1 minced garlic -1 tsp of light soy sauce -1 tsp of sesame oil -1 wedge of lemon or lime 2nd coating -Sprinkle salt and pepper lightly -Black and White sesame seeds .....For my salad I like to use a spring salad mix with chopped avacados and just about 1 tbsp of Newman's sesame ginger salad dressing. This is just the way I like my salad but you can do whatever you want to your liking. Enjoy!

Late night dinner on a budget.

Perhaps you just got your first apartment and had to make every penny count. Here are several recipes to add flavor, zest & variety into a super fast, extra cheap meal- be it breakfast, lunch, dinner or even dessert! Extra ingredients I just so happen to have in the fridge. -Bean sprouts. -Chopped cilantro and green onions. -Small sliced tomatoes. -Fried garlic. -Left over beef. -Eggs. Review on Mama Oriental Style Instant Noodles Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavour. The soup flavor was commendable. I give the spice level about a 6.5 out of 10, with just the right amount of heat. Also has a tangy hint of lime taste, which I personally love bc I on regular noodles I have to add my own lime. My taste buds seems go for a spicy and sour liking. For the noodles, I lost interest in fully enjoying my meal bc of it. I guess you could say the noodles were a bit tough and yes, I did cook the noodles until they were well done. So overall I would rate this a 3 out of 5.

Woman cries over IN-N-OUT burger opening in the Lone Star State!

The first time I tried IN-N-OUT burger was in California and omg... it was love. A few months ago it was annouced that our first location in Texas was open in Allen, and on the news there was a woman crying over IN-N-OUT burger opening. (Check it out on the source link below if your curious.) I couldn't help it but to laugh. Just about week ago a new location near by opened and what do you know, I was there in a throbbing moment. I know this is unacceptable for my diet but I would happily be glad to burn off the extra calories for something as tummy pleasing as IN-N-OUT burger. Wouldn't you?

Gettin' creative in the kitchen!

To all the sushi lovers out there, a few pictures from our sushi day... 1. Rainbow handrolls. These handrolls all have the same ingredients in them only difference is the wrap. You can find these assorted wraps mainly at a Korean market. 2. I like to call this the dragon roll, mainly bc its a knock off of one of my favorite rolls at local sushi bar. 3. I don't know whats up with me and these volcano rolls, but I have this thing where anytime I go to a new sushi bar I ALWAYS have to test the volcano roll there. That being said, is the reason for this creation. Bc it ain't sushi day, without a volcano roll. 4. Crunchy roll, this would have to be the most hard labor to make but the tastiest! 5. Tuna tower, this is a fan favorite. I know at the restaurant they like to add rice to the tower, but I prefer without and serve with rice cracker instead.
