Baked Mahi Mahi with Fruit Salsa and Coconut Rice

Tuesday, June 15, 2010




I have to apologize in advance for this one! 
I didn't pay any attention to measurements while making this. 
This dish has a delicious tropical flavor to it!
Ingredients:
4 Mahi Mahi Filets (I used Full Circle Wild Caught)
Fresh Pineapple
1-2 Mangos
1 Red Bell Pepper
A Bunch of Cilantro
2-4 Jalapeno Peppers
1 Avocado
1/2 Small Onion
A Couple Limes
/Lemons for Squeezing
Salt & Pepper to taste
Coconut Oil (optional)

Coconut Rice:
1 Cup Organic Brown Long Grain Rice
1 Cup Coconut Milk (replace water on Rice Package Directions)
1 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Teaspoon of Sugar
A small amount of Chopped Cilantro

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees
2. Peel and cut Mango and pineapple into chunks. Chop up remaining fruits, onion and cilantro into pieces (whatever size you prefer for your salsa).
3.  Reserve approximately 1-2 cups of mango, pineapple and Jalapeno from salsa mixture.  Put in a blender or food processor and puree mix.
4.  Mix remaining fruits together in a bowl, squeeze lime juice and salt to taste.  Cover and put in the refrigerator until ready to serve.  (The flavors need time to blend together)
5.  Wash and season Mahi filets, pat dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
6.  Prepare baking pan(s) by lightly coating bottom and sides with coconut oil. (Or whatever oil you choose)
7. Place fish in the pan and top with Mango/Pineapple Puree.  Cover dish(s) and bake for 20-30 Minutes depending on your oven.
8.  Fluff Coconut Rice with fork when finished and add cilantro.  Place a scoop on each plate, top with fish, drizzle a little extra puree if desired and top it off with the fruit salsa!




Stuffed Bell Peppers




Mmmmm..These are delicious!  For me one of the hardest parts of cooking is measuring and creating recipes!  I love to pull food and spices out and just go to town!  Sometimes I will accidentally create something great for dinner and then have a friend ask for the recipe.  Uh-oh!  "I believe it was a little of this" or "about this much of that" and my favorite phrase is "just to taste."  For me a great way to remember what I put in a dish is to take a picture of all the ingredients together!
(like this!)

Okay So here is my makeshift recipe!

1 lb. of Organic Grass Fed Ground Beef
Organic Long Grain Brown Rice (according to package for 4-6 servings
(4) Each Red and Green Bell Peppers
1 Small Sweet Onion
3-4 Cloves of Garlic
1 Jar of Spicy Arrabiata Sauce
Freshly Grated Parmigiano
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Olive Oil or Butter (for Saute)
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper "to taste"

Directions:
1. Prepare rice according to the package directions.
2. While the rice is cooking finely chop up onion, one of each bell pepper, garlic cloves, basil and Thyme.
3. Grate Parmigiano and set aside.
4. In a skillet heat oil or butter and saute onion for 2-3 minutes, add bell peppers and saute until soft.
5. Drain onion/bell peppers and set aside.
6. brown beef in skillet, drain and return to the pan.
7. Add Garlic, onion/bell pepper mixture and stir.
8.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
9.  Add desired amount of rice to the mixture and mix well.
10.  Mix in cheeses, desired amount of sauce to coat, thyme and basil.
11.  Turn the stove on low and cover the mixture to allow the flavors to blend.
12.  Cut a circle around the stem of the remaining 6 bell peppers, cut and pull out seeds, be careful not to cut through the bottom or it will leak when cooking.
13.  Stuff each pepper and top with additional cheese if desired and replace each stem top.
14.  Pop them in the oven and cook for about 20-30 minutes depending on your oven.


Ready to go in the oven!

Fresh out of the oven!

                                   I like to slice them in half before I serve them!
                    I served it with a side salad and more arrabiata sauce for dipping!

Breakfast for Dinner

Friday, March 12, 2010

My kids little faces always light up when I tell them we are having breakfast for dinner...especially if I'm making pancakes!  Last night I made our favorite recipe for Apple Cinnamon Pancakes.  I doubled the cinnamon in the recipe and used slightly less milk.  These pancakes are so delicious and fluffy that you really do not need syrup!  For our family of four I scaled the recipe to 6 servings and that seemed to be perfect. 
I haven't ventured into making my own sausage yet so for now this is what I used: Chicken and Maple Breakfast Sausage which were very good.  I have experimented with other nitrite/nitrate free natural chicken sausages and hated them!  I would definitely recommend this brand!  I have this new found love with green onions, so I chopped up a few along with a few sprigs of fresh organic thyme and tossed them in with the scrambled eggs along with some grated Asiago cheese, salt and pepper!  These eggs were full of flavor!  The potatoes were simply grated and tossed into the pan with some olive oil, salt pepper, red and green bell peppers and cooked until tender and browned.  Very simple but very good!

Marsala Chicken

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

This is one of my all time favorite chicken dishes!  There are so many variations to Chicken Marsala but I like this one because it is a little on the light side!  Anyone who knows me will tell you how much I LOVE mushrooms..I could eat them with everything!  Toss mushrooms in with my other loves of pasta, cheese, wine and chicken..Voila! A Kala favorite!  I used a variation of this recipe:  Restaurant Chicken Marsala.  I used all organic ingredients except for the wine!  Also  I added a ton of extra mushrooms.  I used Goat's Milk Mozzarella mixed with Grated Asiago Cheese to top the chicken with before broiling.  This was extremely delicious!! We all had second helpings and I had the rest for lunch the next day!  Serve it with your favorite pasta and a side of steamed broccoli topped with the Marsala sauce!  (or whatever you feel like at the moment!) Enjoy!




Gotta love it!

Vegan Vegetable Pasta

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Growing up, my family has always been big meat eaters.  To this day my dad LOVES to BBQ any kind of meat.  It has always been the center of a meal.  Recently I have been trying to eat less meat after learning many un appetizing things about the care and hygeine that slaughter animals are given.  Not to mention all the hormones and antibiotics that are pumped into them..which then in turn get pumped into our own bodies.  Anyway, I have been trying to only buy free range organic and/or 100% grass fed meat.  That can be hard on a tight budget so I decided to cut out meat one night a week.  My husband isn't too crazy about this since he thinks he will be weak if he doesn't have meat every meal.  Slowly but surely he is coming around (just a little though) lol.  Anyway I forgot to set the salmon out Sunday night so Meatless Monday it was!  A veggie pasta is always delicious and you can make it differently everytime.  Last night I decided to try something a little different. 

Vegan Vegetable Pasta:
1/2 Box of Whole Wheat Organic Pasta (I used Linguine)
Olive Oil (at least 6 Tablespoons)
1 Sunburst Squash cut into bite size pieces (Preferrably Organic~No drugs in them)

1/4 Cup Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1/4 Cup Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 Cup Grape Tomatoes, sliced
Fresh Garlic, finely chopped (To taste..I like alot)
1/2 of a small onion, finely chopped
6 Crimini Mushrooms, cleaned, peeled and sliced

1-2 Oranges
1 Tablespoon of Ginger, Grated
Salt n Pepper to taste

2. After chopping all vegetables, heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a non stick skillet.
3. Add onions and saute for 1 minute.
4. Add red and green bell peppers, saute for another minute.

7. Continue to saute just until asparagus and squash are tender.
8. Toss in pasta and mix well, adding remaining olive oil if you want. (I did..lol)
9. Mix in Grated Ginger.
10. Zest one lemon and then sqeeze the juice into the pan (I used a small lemon, you may want to use less juice if your lemon is large.
11. squeeze the juice of one orange into the pan and mix well.
12.  Add salt and pepper as you like and serve!

Ham Cups with Poached Eggs

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Baked Salmon in White Wine Sauce


It isn't everyday that I can get salmon around here that isn't farm raised with color added or from China.  So when I do come across Wild Atlantic Salmon, I can't pass it up.  I usually dress it up with some lemon, butter and herbs, simple but delicious.  I wanted to try something different this time and came across a recipe for Salmon in White Wine Sauce.  I used a combination of these two recipes: Salmon with white wine and Salmon Linguine with White Wine.  I made the sauce base with the second recipe and add the herbs from the first.  I seasoned the salmon filets and baked them at 350 Degrees for about 25 minutes.   Top it with the white wine sauce and Voila! You can pair this with whatever sounds good to you, I made a basic salad and red roasted potatoes with dill! Delicious!
This sauce is so rich and creamy, I couldn't wait to have it again! So....I used the leftover salmon and sauce the next night.  I cut the salmon into chunks and heated it in a saucepan with the white wine sauce, tossed it with Linguine and sprinkled on some extra dill.  Wow! This was AMAZING!  I felt somewhat guilty for eating such a rich and high carb meal...but not guilty enough to stop at one serving! Bwahahaha!

My First Poach with Hollandaise Sauce

Tuesday, January 26, 2010




I have always wanted to try and make Poached Eggs, however I have been too scared to try it for fear of making a huge mess and wasting my eggs.  Well, I tried it...and it was suprisingly very easy and mess free!  My eggs were not the beautiful, perfectly shaped version that you see chefs make on TV, however this was only attempt numero uno.  Of course Poached eggs are not complete without a Hollandaise Sauce, also my first time making it. 


The first batch came out way too sour (Go easy on the lemon juice), batch number two was Perfect! Click here for the recipe I used.  I put the eggs on a piece of toast with lightly steamed baby spinach leaves and topped with the hollandaise sauce!  This made a perfect late sunday breakfast!

Parmesan Chicken Wings & Herbed Pasta





Okay I need to start off by saying that this was delicious!  I had a friend over for dinner since both of our husbands were out of town.  She made a big salad with her homemade dressing that was really tasty!  I have been wanting to try this chicken wing recipe for a while now and found this to be a perfect opportunity!  With all the herbs in the chicken, I thought an herbed pasta with tomatoes would be a great companion...and it was!  I think I will try this with Chicken breast next time.

Weekend Treats

Tuesday, January 19, 2010



This last weekend I decided to make a chocolate cake.  I was inspired by my husband and his box cake.  He made this strawberry flavored cake with yellow frosting.  When his chemical filled cake was complete he seemed very proud of his masterpiece...and of course I had to remind him that its a boxed cake which is pretty hard to mess up and the frosting was already made, food coloring and preservatives and all.  I told him that if he wanted REAL props from me, he would have to make one from scratch, frosting and all.  Then it occured to me that I have only made one cake from scratch EVER!  So naturally I had to make one.  I created a recipe from a mixture of recipes I found via Google.  I'm not sure if this is exact since I am going by memory but I believe I usesd: 2 cups of flour, 1 Tsp of salt, 2 tsp of Baking Soda,  2 cups of sugar, a little over 3/4 cups of Ghiradelli unsweetened cocoa powder, 3 eggs, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/3 cup of Teeccino (instead of coffee), 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of raspberry extract (So good), and 1/2 cup of butter or one stick.  To make the frosting I used one 4 oz bar of Ghiradelli unsweetened baking chocolate melted over a double broiler or in my case a glass bowl sitting on top of boiling water in a sauce pan..lol.  Seperately I melted butter (I believe it was one stick or 8 tablespoons) and beat in Heavy whipping cream (I don't remember how much..sorry) 1/2 cup of Ghiradelli's cocoa powder and a tsp of vanilla extract.  When completely mixed, remove from heat and stir in melted chocolate and 3 1/2 cups of Powdered sugar.  Continue mixing until thickened and refrigerate until completely cooled.  For the layering I used Raspberry Preserves and home made whipped cream frosting!  As I promised I let my daughter ice her first cake and I think she did a great job for an 8 year old!!  She came up with the strawberries and whipped cream heart on her own!


On Sunday we made Honey Caramel Popcorn.  I normally hate caramel corn, but I have to say this was delicious!  This was our first time making popcorn on the stove from kernels and I have to say that it was extremely easy!  For the caramel sauce we used two ingredients: Butter and Honey!  I didn't want to use corn syrup as most recipes suggest so after some time of browsing I came to this recipe!  It was very good and of course my husband and kids ate it all up!







Coconut Curry Chicken with Vegetables and Shrimp Skewers


Ahhh..so this was a last minute throw together as I had several cans of coconut milk on hand and I always have a steady supply of curry thanks to my Trinidadian father in law.  I really didn't measure anything, just tossed everything together but I will do my best to recall: First I chopped 4 Organic Chicken Breasts into bite sized pieces then browned in the skillet.  Mix in a tablespoon (or more if you prefer) of Curry powder along with cayenne pepper (to taste) salt and pepper.  In a seperate pan I sauteed the mixed vegetable medly which included bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, baby corn, carrots, artichoke hearts, etc.  and add to chicken, mix well and stir in 2 cans of coconut milk.  Let it simmer on medium low until chicken is cooked all the way through.  For whatever reason I felt the need to add shrimp to this dinner...so I broiled some shrimp on skewers that I had on hand.  They went great with the Curry!
In sticking with the Thai theme; for dessert we made a chocolate fruit tree using raspberries, blueberries, organic chocolate syrup and Pocky Sticks!

Sandwiches Anyone?


This was a present to my husband on a lazy saturday afternoon!  The picture does not do this monster of a sandwich any justice!   To start I spread some real Mayo, Dijon Mustard and a sprinkle of Cayenne Pepper on this 9 inch bread that I got fresh from the Safeway Bakery.  Then I layered on 4 slices of Hormel Natural Choice Roasted Turkey (I first lightly sauteed all meat slices in the skillet) followed by two slices of cheddar cheese.  Then 4 slices of Ham (Same Brand) topped with two slices of swiss cheese!  Then to top it all off 4 slices of bacon!  I preheated the oven to 400 degrees and toasted the sandwich open faced for about 10 minutes (until the cheese was melted through), added some baby spinach and voila!
Anyone who knows my husband knows that this would make him VERY happy!  I don't usually condone this type of eating however I felt the need to treat him on this day...oh and not to mention he was going on about the sandwiches I used to make him and how they were the envy of all his co-workers!
  Now for my lunch...a little less on the gluttony side!  I had recently saw a recipe for a brie and apple sandwich and it sounded amazing.  I had brie and green apples so I decided to try it but I was also craving mushrooms soooooo....

I ended up sauteing some baby bella mushrooms I had in the fridge along with some sweet yellow onion.  Firist I layered on the thinly sliced apples, then the mushrooms, the onions and topped off with a gernerous amount of brie! I had some leftover mozzarella that I needed to use also so I sprinkled some on the bare bread.  I popped it in the oven open faced at 400 degrees just until the cheese was nice and melted....This was AMAZING melt in my mouth Greatness!!


Breakfast for Dinner

Thursday, January 7, 2010



Yesterday was somewhat of an ugly day being my first day of no caffeine so I desperately needed a relaxing evening!  With nothing set out and not in the mood for grocery shopping I decided on Breakfast for dinner and a movie night!  I found this AMAZING french toast recipe that I had to try!  I made a few adjustments to the recipe.  Instead of milk I used Almond Breeze and added cinnamon and rum extract to the batter.  I also tried another variation that was delicious!  I dipped the bread in coconut milk, stuffed with bananas and fried it in coconut oil...YUM!! I didn't take a picture..why?  Who knows?  I"m not usually a fan of french toast but I had 3 pieces and of course the kids devoured it!  I love that it didn't need to be drowned in syrup but instead I used the juices from the berries, a dash of cinnamon and organic vanilla yogurt, mix together and voila!  A healthy syrup substitute!



I felt in the mood for a casserole so I whipped up what I will call Breakfast Casserole (I know geniusly original right?)  A delicious combination of Sausage, eggs, hash browns, bell pepper, onion, spices and of course cheese!  Here is my own make shift version of the recipe:


Breakfast Casserole :
1 12 oz. Package of Organic Sausage   
4-10 Large Organic Eggs (depending on how many you are feeding)
1/2 Cup of Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Package of Organic Hash Browns (Thawed)
1 Teaspoon of Unbleached Flour      
1 Organic Green Bell Pepper, chopped
1/2 of a Yellow Onion, Chopped
Shredded Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese (as much or little as you prefer)
Salt, Pepper and Garlic Salt (to taste)



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cook sausage through lightly browning and drain
3. Saute the onion and bell pepper until soft, mix with sausage.
4. Beat together eggs, cream, flour, salt and pepper. (I like to mix in a little cheese after beating)
5. Oil or butter a casserole dish (I used a glass dish about 9 inches in diameter, about 4.5 inches deep)
6. Spread the thawed hash browns into the bottom of the dish, using only half of the entire amount you have chosen to use.  Sprinkle with Garlic Salt
7. Layer the sausage, pepper and onion mix on top of the hash browns. (You can add more Salt & Pepper if you prefer)
8. Spread out the remaining hash browns and sprinkle with garlic salt.
9. Pour egg mixture on top, using a spatula on the sides to make sure that it is evenly distributed throughout the dish. 
9. Top with as much cheese as your heart desires, cover and bake for 30 minutes.  Remove lid, the center will not be set completely, return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes.  Every oven is different so make sure you watch it.
10.  Let it cool slightly, cut into pie slices and enjoy!!



                                                                                             
                                                             


Caffeine Free Me!

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Now that I will no longer be tempted by the irresistable Starbucks White Peppermint Mocha or an Egg Nog Latte I feel that it is once again that time.  Time for what you say?  Time to detox from caffeine!  Yes I know I know...I have done this before...several times!  This is how it usually goes...I go through 2-3 weeks of caffeine withdrawal (headaches, fatigue, moodiness, etc.)  Then I feel triumphant!  I usually replace my morning coffee or latte with a caffeine free substitute like herbal tea, Kombucha or Teeccino, all of which are great for you!  I immediately notice that I am sleeping better, its easier for me to fall asleep and when I wake up I feel rested!  I don't feel that drop in Cortisol that usually hits me around 4:30-5:00 PM (Cortisol is a natural hormone secreted by the adrenal glands).  Long story short...I feel better all around!  So anyway, I will usually continue on this healthy path for about 6 months...and then something always happens, I don't know what it is exactly or why I don't stand up to myself.  Some sort of stupidity takes over despite knowing that it is exactly that...Stupidity!  It usually starts with the smell of freshly brewed espresso as I'm walking through the grocery store or an advertisement for a new latte!  At first I'm strong and I just keep walking, telling myself that I don't REALLY want one and that if I do have one I will then want another one and another.  But then it happens, I have a bad day or night or take on way more than I should have (I've been known to do that)  and that latte that has already been weighing on my mind is now the only thing on my mind!  So that is how it starts up again..at first its just on the weekends or to get me through a big event like my sisters wedding (I lived off of adrenaline and caffeine for several weeks preparing her reception lol) but then it slowly builds into an every day thing...until I am once again addicted!  I wake up in the morning (or not) feeling like I was hit by a bus and that I only slept for 5 minutes...I'm cranky (just a tad) and do not deal with stress the way I should.  I am currently at that point feeling like a slave to my $5.00 per day addiction oh and not to mention I just found out that I have two benign cysts in my left breast!  The treatment is to limit my caffeine intake and increase vitamin E.  So here I am again at the beginning.  I just ordered a Teeccino Sampler pack and stocked up on my favorite Kombucha.  I wonder if this time will be any different than my previous attempts to rid myself of this addiction?
