I bottle of extra virgin olive oil

Directions are as follows:

When the pan gets hot enough place the salmon inside the pan skin side down as shown above! Let the salmon cook for about 4 min on both sides (depending on how you like your salmon cooked)! Pull the salmon off and place on a paper towel lined plate! This is to soak up the excess oil!

Eating good on the go!

We all eat on the go at one point or another! Today I'm gonna throw out a quick 20 min protien that will go with a small salad or any sides that you may choose! With that in mind lets begin this quick recipe, shall we?! 

First we begin with seasoning 4 nice 8 oz pieces of salmon with salt and pepper! As shown above! (Place them in the refrigerator until we need them again) Next we get 1 pound of fresh lump crabmeat and place into a bowl. You wanna pick through it for overlooked discarded shells!! In a seperate bowl you wanna mix 1 heaping spoon full of mayonnaise, 1 tsp celery salt, 1 egg,  a pinch of garlic, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard. Mix very well, so all flavors incorporate with each other. Now you grab that crab meat and fold it into the mix, trying to keep your crab meat somewhat whole! Now, grab a sleeve of ritz crackers and and mash into crumbs! ( you may use a food processor if need be). Add crumbs a little at a time, you don't want too much crumbs it make your mix dry! Ok, almost done! Grab the salmon out of the fridge and scoop about 4 oz of mixture onto each piece of salmon. Place in an oven safe pan and bake on 300 for approximately 20 min! Check the fish for your desired doneness! 

It should look like the picture shown above! Next thing you pull the salmon out of the pan, and eat with a nice salad or a combination of your own starches and vegetables! I ate mine with a little hollandaise and roasted potato! Yummerz! Lol! I hope you all try this one at home, it's one you will definitely enjoy! 

Fun with brunch!

ThisHello everyone, this is just a simple and quick treat for the kids or yourselves as well! I have 2 daughters of my own and I'm very familiar with how boring breakfast can get! With all this in mind let's get going! 

This is just a quick sandwich that takes all of 10-15 min to make on the go! The directions are as follows:

Ingredients

1 bag of your favorite waffle mix

(Not gonna go through making it from scratch because we wanna stay in our 10-15 min window)

3-4 sausages of your choice

4 eggs

4 slices of cheddar cheese

Fruit of your choice

Directions

First lets get the waffle mix whipped up and that waffle machine hot! The waffles are gonna serve as a bun for this masterpiece! lol! Let's get around 4 waffles done and set to the side.  Next let's cook the sausages(links or patties are fine) and eggs!

You can prepare your eggs which ever way suits you! From scrambled, to over easy, to even poached if you desire! Please don't forget the cheese! Ok, now time to put this monster together! Begin with one of the waffles then stack your sausage, eggs, and most importanly the cheese  right on top of that bottom waffle! Place another waffle on top and cut into triangles or squares (depending on you what type of waffle machine you are using)! Drizzle a little syrup and powdered sugar right over the top and arrange some fruit on the plate! Be sure to handle carefully, this sandwich has been known to put you to sleep when done eating! Lol! Well enjoy and have a wonderful morning!
