Coconut Chicken with Pineapple Strawberry Salsa

Talk about what will be a summer time favorite at my house... THIS WILL.. being that I love a few new recipes that take little time to make and is OHHHHH SOOOO GOOD! to eat, this one is topping the list. I found this recipe from my Clean Eating Magazine, and it was a summertime issue, but hey, I have to try them out when I get the chance, and I found all the ingredients- so why wait?

 I must be extremely careful when I eat pineapple, since I had my gall bladder  removed, it still effects me like I am chewing glass... but this doesn't keep me from making it for the rest of the gang!

SALSA:  1/3 c of Light Coconut milk, greens of 4 scallions, 10 strawberries chunked & 1 c. fresh pineapple, cored and chunked - mix together, and enjoy. You can make it one day before eating it.

The Coconut chicken was just as easy. I used Tenders instread of breasts since I didn't label the bag that I put in the freezer! OOPS!... but it  worked out the same ... it was plated with salad greens! YUMMY DELICIOUS!

Breakfast Muffins

I had some biscuits that needed to be used...it was Sunday and though its my usual BAKE LIKE AI WILL BE SERVING AN ARMY DAY - I didn't have many ideas flowing in my head. I could have made Cinnamon monkey bread, and then I remembered I had spinach, scallions and some green pepper in the fridge.. and  that was sounding better!

I popped the can of biscuits - into a greased muffin tin - whipped egg, spinach, scallions, gr. pepper, crumbled bacon together, and poured into each muffin cup - baked for about 20 minutes at 350, added cheese and another 5 minutes in the oven - making sure egg is cooked and cheese is melted, and SHA BAM! The biscuits were a hit!

They are gone - G-O-N-E... paired with some fresh fruit and it was like we were at a buffet and didn't need to leave the house!

I was informed while the teens had dish duty, that this was a great idea to keep in mind for another date.. I am thinking so - I might be able to make them and freeze them... if they make it from the cooling station to a bag and not ate! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Banana split for Breakfast... honestly

IMAGINE THIS if you will, BANANA SPLIT for BREAKFAST... I know .... unimaginable!

So this is what it really is... which can be changed accordingly...

Medium Banana, sliced lengthwise

8 oz Yogurt, flavor of your choice  (I used greek yogurt, strawberry flavored)

1 serving sliced fruit of your choice (my choice was strawberries)

1/2 c. chopped nuts  (it recommended peanuts, but I had cashews, next time I am using Almonds)

 Layer like Sundae... enjoy!

Note: making this for my breakfast at work, but I could/ will make adjustments accordingly. .. such as.. Cottage cheese instead of yogurt,add homemade fruit jam/preserves instead of real fruit, change nuts.. maybe pecans or walnuts or granola... 

Instead of my wonderful tupperware, I would put in a little footed dessert dish/compote/flute.

This is also a great after work out snack!

Have a good day!



Tuna Steaks...yumm -o-licious!

Originally, I wanted to grill them... but when the skies opened up and it rained steady for the next 3 hours, I knew that plans for dinner had changed. So out to my food bloggers I searched... something easy and fun, but not over the top, since the teens are expected to eat this as well!

I found a recipe and top to bottom it was like 20 minutes.. since I was clueless of what I was to do... but check it out.

Don't they look delicious?

It was awesome that I topped off the tuna with avacado, I mean, really, I love it COLD but when paired with something warm, I was skeptical!

I confess, I shop Wegmans... almost weekly.. why? It has got to be the food lovers haven.. I mean seriously, since I usually  have to put myself on a timer when I am in there, I cannot tell you how many times I go back and tell myself "Oh, I didn't see that before.."... LOL.. The people that work there are nice, the people that shop there are sometimes rude and snooty - but aren't i going to find that at any place?  Wegmans atleast gets to showcase the foods that I want to put in my mouth and on my table for others!

When I found this Golden Jewel Blend , I was delighted.. the teens like it and it was simple to make! I mean honestly, I will get others and make for whatever side dish or even for breakfast.

Have a great day!
