I really like food and one of my favorite dishes is grilled salmon





1/2 cup olive oil


3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves


3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves


1 garlic clove, minced


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


4 (5 to 6-ounces each) swordfish steaks





Prepare the grill (medium-high heat). Whisk the oil, mint, lemon juice, basil, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Season the lemon and olive oil mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.





Brush the swordfish steaks with 2 tablespoons of the lemon and olive oil mixture. Grill the steaks until just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steaks). Transfer the steaks to plates. Spoon the remaining sauce over and serve.





If your going to make this make sure to plate it nicely.





Hope it comes out nice.

戮 cup cold milk


4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)


录 teaspoon garlic powder


1 陆 cups grated cheddar cheese





Bush on Top:


2 tablespoons butter, melted


录 teaspoon dried parsley flakes


陆 teaspoon garlic powder


pinch salt





Directions:


1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.





2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 录 teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.





3. Drop approximately 录-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.





4. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.





5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in 陆 teaspoon garlic powder and the dried parsley flakes. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes one dozen biscuits.
This is, by far, my absolute most favorite dish ever. It seems fancy, but is actually really easy to make, and great for company, or just when you want to treat yourself. It's best served with rice pilaf, and a nice crusty loaf of bread. I usually serve it with green beans with toasted almonds.





CHAMPAGNE CHICKEN BREASTS





4 whole chicken breasts, halved


Salt %26amp; freshly ground black pepper


5 tbsp. unsalted butter


1/2 c. cognac


3 tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour


2 tsp. dried tarragon


3 1/2 c. non vintage champagne


1/2 c. heavy or whipping cream





Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in a medium sized Dutch oven over medium high heat. Brown the chicken breasts, a few at a time, on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.





Pour cognac into the pan, warm it and flame with a match. When the flames subside, stir in the flour and tarragon. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of champagne. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the chicken to a warmed serving platter. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of champagne and the cream. Cook the sauce over high heat until reduced and slightly thickened. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately. Serves 6.
We call if Fideo (even though that's just the name of the pasta) ...





(And I apologize since I've never really paid attention to the amounts ... I just keep tasting until I think it's right.)





First boil Fideo noodles (look in the Mexican section). Set aside.





You can re-use pot. Saute 1/2 of a minced onion in butter (maybe two tablespoons). Once translucent, add garlic, salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup of water and one cube of chicken bullion. Once dissolved, lower heat and add noodles back in. Once water is completely absorbed, add shaved Parmesan cheese (not Kraft powder) and let melt, stirring occasionally.





This is a good side dish for steak if it's marinated in a pepper-based concoction.
Chicken %26amp; Rice -





I use boneless chicken breasts, but you can use thighs, legs, whatever you prefer.


You pour a can of Campbell's Beef Consomme and a can of Campbell's French Onion soup in an 11x13 pan. You pour in a can (soup can) of uncooked white rice. Then add probably another 1/2 can of water. Put the chicken parts in on top and place about 1/2 stick of butter -cut in pieces across the top of the chicken. Cover with foil and bake at 350-375 until the rice is fully cooked. The chicken will be cooked as well..





Delicious and it's great as left overs.
Pork Chops and Apple Sauce





take double cut pork chops and tenderize with a fork, set in milk with salt and pepper with enough liquid covering the entire chops let sit for at least an hour.

Spaghetti....I like it with angel hair noddles, mozzarella cheese, and sause.


I also like salads, but with ONLY lettuce and Italian or red wine and vinaigrette dressing.

Next Italian (spaghetti/ziti/lasagna)
