31Cook off
0 comments
Seafood is such an awesome item to cook with. There are a lot of different things that you are able to do with fish that you can not do with any other types of protein. If you notice that fish is what you see a lot of great chefs use when they are creating dishes. I love cooking with fish but unfortunately do not know enough recipes to warrant being a great fish cooker. The best recipe that I have is super simple but I think is good. I just put a little bit of lemon pepper on a Tilapia fillet and put it in the electric griller. It is simple but I like it. I am not comfortable enough to try something like Maple Salmon or Shrimp Scampi.
The Great American Seafood Cook off is a competition that you would be able to see great Chefs at work. They will be using a lot of different fish and a lot of domestic fish which have a lot of positiveness of domestic seafood sustainability in these cook offs. The best thing about domestic fish is that the source is known, it is local and fresh. I love watching the Cook off competitions because I get to see how other people are in their kitchens and in their element. Also, it is exciting to see the dishes they come up with. I just love cooking competitions a lot.

31Original Crepes
I always thought that a crepe was hard to make. That it was more than just egg, flour, and milk. I guess I was dead wrong. Here is an original crepe recipe that I swear anybody can do. In fact, sometime soon I am going to try it out.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup low-fat milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
DIRECTIONS
Whisk flour, eggs, milk and water together in a large bowl. Mix in salt and melted butter. Batter should be pretty thin. If it's too thick, add a little bit more butter until runny.
Heat a frying pan to medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. When pan is warm, spoon out a ladle full of batter and pour into the middle of the pan. Pick up the pan by the handle and rotate until the batter runs to the very edges forming a thin layer batter over bottom of pan. Let cook for about a minute to a minute and a half or until golden brown; flip and cook on the other side.
Fill crepe with your favorite filling such as yogurt, fruit or jams and enjoy!

26Faucet Love
I love the different faucets that allow you to have more room with pots in your sink area. I like the long neck faucets by Price Pfister. They are just so gorgeous and they allow for the tallest pots to be filled up under your faucet. My mom got one a couple of years ago for the house and we have loved it and not gone back!

26Eating healthy affects?
I have often noticed that while I have been eating healthier and cutting out a lot of the more processed foods that I have needed acne treatment a lot less than when I was not eating healthy. Now, I am not saying that it is definitely a cure for acne but I am saying that you would need to worry less about your face when you are eating healthy! Give it a thought!

26Tortilla Vegetable pizza
I just realized that I have hardly done a recipe for the vegetarians out there! I'm so sorry! This one is for you! A pizza which has vegetables on a tortilla! Sounds simple and filling! Two things that I love when dieting and eating health. It does not look like much work needs to go into it unlike putting on a corset! No sweating here!
INGREDIENTS
Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/4 c tomato, sliced
1/2 garlic clove
1 tsp parsley
1 c green bell peppers
10 rings of onion
1/2 c mushroom pieces or slices
2 oz part skim mozzarella cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 and place tortilla on oven rack for 5 - 10 minutes on each side or to your desired crispyness. Watch carefully to prevent burning on the edges. Remove tortilla with tongs and place on cookie sheet. Apply tomato sauce (recipe below), cheese, onions, mushrooms, and bell peppers. Return to oven for 2 - 3 minutes or until cheese melts.
If you prefer softer vegetables, sautee before topping tortilla.
Tomato sauce:
Combine tomato, parsley, and garlic clove in food processor and pulse 4-5 times. Chunky tomato sauce is better for the crust of this pizza.
