Do you like Sushi, do you like tuna.

This is my Western version of Tuna Sushi. It is easy and convenient because it uses can tuna. Go ahead and see how easy and good it is.

When it comes to making sushi at home, almost everyone thinks that it is an impossible task. When it is one of the easiest things to make that can give you so much satisfaction and everyone will praise you for it. Try it here now and see just how easy it is to make, you really can not go wrong. 

Please let me know how yours turned out and/or did you add anything else to it. 



************************************************************************************************************

Recipe; 

Makes 4 rolls;

1 - Can of  chunk Tuna (albacore or same) in oil or in water.

1 Pkg. of  Nori
1 Cup - Pre-ready Sushi rice

1 to 2  Tbsp.  - Mayo 
1 to 2 squirts -  Lemon juice
2  Tsp. - Wasabi

1/2  Sweet red pepper
Few stems of green onions

************************************************************************************************************



Here you can add just about anything you would like to this tuna.

Try to toss the fish instead of a stir, so the fish can be flaky and not mashed.






As for the rice, you can prepare your own or get the pre-made sushi rice that you just bring to a boil and it is ready. 


Remember to leave the nori open on the top part so it will stick together on the roll when rolling it. The bottom part does not matter. 





Start by rolling the nori over the fish and veggies, 
keeping the everything under the rice/nori.



 Press down on the roll, then bring roller back.



Roll again, press down 
and bring the roller back. 



Roll again, to finish, 
so easy you do it by hand.



Press again and it is done. 



Cut the Sushi in bite size pieces. 



Remember to show off your work, 
make it your master piece.

Pork Sandwich Recipe - Portuguese Bifanas


Pork Sandwich Recipe  - Portuguese Bifanas


I remember when I was little,  my Father took me to a game or some street festival when I was in Portugal and of course, I was always  hungry, for I knew what I wanted to eat. I always around looked for the Portuguese style bifanas stand. I could always find it, for I just had to follow the aroma of garlic, butter and simmering pork. I just loved to gobble down one or two, Also, it was funny just watching my father eat and talk at the same time when it was about the game. 

Making this dish really brings back so many memory's of long ago, mind you, my Mother did make them for me and they were just as good as the Food Stands. This is not just a regular  Pork sandwich, it is part of my life of good times and awesome memories with Family and Friends as I was growing up. 

Now here it is for all to make and enjoy. Please let us know how did yours turn out, did you add anything to yours. 




*************************************************************************************************************


Recipe; 

1 lb. or so - Pork loin

2 - Bay leaves
2  - Cloves garlic
1/4 Cup - Unsalted butter
1/2 Cup - Wine or beer
1/2 Tsp. -  Sweet paprika
1  Tbsp. - Olive oil  

Hot sauce - As to taste.

Salt and pepper to taste.


For more information, please see video below.


*************************************************************************************************************



In keeping with tradition I was using Pork Loin, but you can use Pork tenderloin if you want. Now the Portuguese sate this in pork fat and that gives it a full flavour to the meat, but you can use regular cooking oil if you want. If you can not find the pork fat in the market, then I would recommend you to first fry some bacon and use the oil. 



Let the pork marinate go for at least one hour in your fridge, but overnight would be better. It is important to drain the liquid away from the pork in order for it to fry better. Also, do this about half an hour before you cook it because the meat will reach room temperature. 







Here at this point, you can add extra wine or beer to the liquid of the marinade if you want it more on the liquid side and if you want a dipping sauce. 





Now go ahead and add some other goodies to you sandwich. How about mushroom with onions, roasted peppers, cheese, or have it your way. As for me I like it the traditional way, just pork, sauce and bun. 




              Now go ahead and enjoy.

The Best French Toast Recipe



The Best French Toast Recipe


There is nothing better than the smell of buttered French Toast with a hint of cinnamon coming from your Kitchen. What a special treat it is to have this dish to start your day. 

All in all,  this is one of my favourite dishes for breakfast, so easy and fast to make. Now with all the different toppings that you can have, makes this the perfect "start for you day". As for me, it is butter, cinnamon and the best of the best "Canadian maple Syrop". 

Go ahead and try this awesome recipe and please tell me what did you add for the toppings. 



***********************************************************************************************************


Recipe;

4 Slices  - Sliced toast bread or any other type of bread.
1 - Egg
1/2 Tsp. - Vanilla extract
1/4 Cup -  Milk
Butter as needed

Toppings;
Butter
Cinnamon
Maple syrup
Icing sugar
Any fruit


For more information, please see video below. 


***********************************************************************************************************




What other breakfast can you make for your family that is so fast and easy. This combination of the bread, egg and toppings, makes this an outstanding dish. 







Make sure that you beat the egg mixture, very well until it is velvety smooth. Use a large plate to lay down the bread slices to soak up all the mixture evenly. 







Let the bread slice soak for at least 5 minutes or longer. In this way, the mixture will be soaked into the middle  of the bread, and thus making it moister all around. 



Once you add the bread, do not move it  for about a 1/2 minute,  so the mixture will solidify to the bread. If you move it at this stage, then it will go all over the place and  make a mess.   




Now go ahead and add your favorite toppings and make it your way. Do not forget to make extra because your Family will ask for more and you do not want to run out.

Nachos With Meat Recipe



Nachos With Meat Recipe 


This Nacho recipe is one of my winners and the most wanted foods that my Friends want when they come to my home to watch a film or some game on Tv. Now the old "popcorn" thing will not do it anymore.


How can anything like this be so good and so simple to make. Now by adding an awesome tomato base sauce to the ground beef with all that cheese is something that no one can say no to it.  I really have a problem with this recipe because everyone just gobbles them all up and then they just stand there with their empty plates asking for more.  I found that it was better to make a lot on smaller plates than to make one big one, that way it cuts down on fights (not real fights).

So if you make these nachos, then be warned to make a lot, for I know you will need them.

Good luck with keeping up....


********************************************************************************************************

Recipe;

1 - Pkg. -  Plain or salted nachos

1 1/2 lbs. - Medium ground meat
1  Cup - Shredded cheddar cheese
1  Can - Diced tomato's
1  Can - Red kidney beans (drained)
1  Pkg. - Pre-mix Taco, kebab or steak sauce.
1  Med. - Onion
2  Tbsp. - Cooking oil
3  Tbsp. - Tomato paste
3/4 Cup - Any beer

Hot sauce to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

1/2  Cup - Sliced black olives
1/2  Cup - Green onions
Sour cream as needed
Parsley as needed


Taco mix from scratch.
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon  cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper




********************************************************************************************************




There are so many ways on how to make this recipe, so I have just shown you the basics. 

Go ahead and add really anything you would like. Add chicken breasts or just add more beans and turn it into a vegetarian snack.  No one is limited to all the various options to this dish. 





Here I am using a medium ground beef for I like the extra fat to give off a more flavorful taste to the dish. Now if you want you could use  more of a lean beef if you are on the "weight watchers" side. 







I used the can red kidney beans because I find it more convent to use and it is a bit softer that reduces the cooking time.  The beans should be drained of all the water because we do not want to overpower the taste of the other ingredients.   

Go ahead and add any other type of beans and make it your way.   




Now go ahead and enjoy this recipe "Nachos" with your Family and Friends, like I do with mine. 

Just remember to have some more on hand to keep everyone happy. Trust me, you will run out fast.
