excell Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 We kinda had a valentines plan thread, but I thought I'd get more specific. Who's cooking up a nice dinner tonight instead of eating out? What are you making? I'm doing a couple NY strips marinated in olive oil, fresh black pepper, and garlic. Sides are creamed spinach and jalapeño scalloped potatoes. For desert, molten chocolate lava cakes and Kahlua cookies and cream milk shakes. All from scratch.

Miller Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I just had lunch since I have to work tonight. I made baked talapia with garlic seasoning and butter, with romaine lettuce salad and sliced mushrooms. She had a meat dessert as well.

HotCarl Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Probably some chicken, broccoli, sirloin patties, steak, corn, brown rice, maybe some protein pancakes. Im cooking for the next few days and only for myself. I dont need a woman to cook for me or to use as an excuse to cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I made baked talapia with garlic seasoning and butter, with romaine lettuce salad and sliced mushrooms. That sounds pretty good! I love tilapia, it'll take just about any flavor you put on it. One of my favorite ways to make tilapia is with lemons encrusted in salt. You basically lay it out with thin lemon slices over a thick bed of kosher salt, then more lemon slices on top and cover the whole thing with more salt and then bake it. The salt cracks off and the meat in the middle is FANTASTIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Oven roasted BBQ chicken breast, mashed potatos, green beans. Pretty basic, I wish I could cook and that we weren't so picky. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Pretty basic, I wish I could cook and that we weren't so picky. Cooking is easy. Try a few fun recopies and before you know it, you'll be creating your own stuff. I'm lucky on the pickiness, I'm not picky at all and my fiancée isn't either. She's only a little weird about meat, I have to make sure I cut off any large amounts of fat (which I do anyway, except for nice steaks). Occasionally she won't like the "look" of a piece of meat and she'll cut that part off. But otherwise, I've worked her spice tolerance up to my level so I can make things as I want to eat them.

Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes for a small-medium filet, or up to two hours for a whole fish. If you don't like it to be very lemony (I love lemon) then leave out the lemon and just do it in the salt, then at the end after you've broken off the salt crust just squeeze some lemon juice onto it. Also, drizzle a little olive oil on the meat after you've broken off the salt. You will cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought of one more tilapia (or any mild white fish, grouper, etc.) recipe you might dig. Make a foil grilling wrap and coat the inside with sesame oil. Chop 1 small head of bokchoy and 1 red bell pepper (sliced thin and long) and put them in the wrap. Add the fish on top of the bokchoy/peppers and sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper. Add coarsely chopped scallions and orange zest. Mix 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1.5 teaspoons rice vinegar, and 2 teaspoons ginger then spoon over the mixture. Close up the foil bag and grill. Serve that up with some coarsely chopped carrots or whole string beans sautéed with a bit of oil and any spicy peanut-sauce recipe (look for one with chili pepper or chili sauce in it) and you'll get laid for a week.
