Stuffed Baby Squid Culinary Madness


Ingredients:
150g chicken mince
100g white fish, minced
4 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon Cracked Black Pepper
1 Tablespoons Lemon Pepper
2 Tablespoons Sea Salt
Rind of ½ lemon, finely grated
¼ cup cream
1kg baby squid tubes

Directions:
Combine all ingredients well, except the squid tubes, in a food processor. The mixture should be still moist but able to hold a shape. Pipe or spoon the mixture into the tubes leaving a 1cm gap at the end of the tube as the stuffing will expand when cooked.
Place the stuffed squid into a deep tray (a cake tin is perfect) and add enough water to cover the bottom to about 1cm deep. Bake in oven for 10-15 minutes at 180ºC.
The squid will feel quite firm when ready. Try replacing the lemon pepper with some lemon myrtle instead.

Chocolate Chunk cookies with Coconut



I made these cookies and forgot to take a picture of them when they finished baking, I just got myself a piece. Omg, I need to start making things that I don’t like to eat or I am going to be 900 pounds. My Cane Corso, Lola is always close by when Mommy is cooking anything.

Ingredients:
1 package of chocolate chunk cookie mix
   (1 egg, 2 tbs. water and ¼ cup of oil)
½ cup coconut flakes
½ tsp. of coconut extract

Directions:
I prepared the cookie mix as indicated on the bag and added the coconut flakes & extract.I baked in a round non-stick baking dish so it looked like a big cookie. When I bake in this type of pan, I serve in pie sections with a big cold glass of milk. So good. 

Breaded Tilapia


I love any type of white fish and although frying is not necessarily what everyone wants to cook their food, you have a choice with this one. Either fry it or bake it. Either way it will taste delicious. Compliment it with my roasted asparagus recipe.

Ingredients:
4 nice size pieces of Tilapia
1 cup of italian bread crumbs
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
1 cup of oil
1 egg
lemon

Directions:
On a large plate pour out the bread crumbs and blend with Parmesan cheese. In a small bowl, combine the egg with some water. Dip each piece of Tilapia into the egg and then coat with bread crumbs. Place to the side and heat oil on medium heat. When the oil is ready. (I let a drip of water hit the oil, if it sizzles its ready). Add in all the pieces of fish if you have room. Fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side. When done let them drain on a paper towel and serve immediately. I served this time with my roasted asparagus. I also served tarter sauce with my fish, I just love it, but you can also serve with catsup, horseradish sauce or plain. I would definitely squeeze lemon on the fish as it brings out the great flavors.

Bacon Cheeseburger Eggrolls (Appetizer)


Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 bag Wildtree Chedder Bacon Burger
1/2 cup relish
1 cup shredded lettuce
15 slices American cheese
15 eggroll wrappers


Directions:
In a bowl use your hands to combine the ground beef and Wildtree's Cheddar Bacon Burger seasoning. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat, cook ground beef until cooked through. In a large bowl stir together cooked meat, relish, and shredded lettuce; set aside. Layout an eggroll wrapper so that a point is facing you. Place a piece of American cheese towards the corner of the wrapper with a point facing you. The cheese should not hang off the edge of the wrapper. Spoon 1/4 cup of the filling on the cheese. Then use your finger or a pastry brush to brush the edges of the wrapper with water. This will help the eggroll seal. Begin rolling up the eggroll by folding the corner over the cheese and filling, and roll until you get towards the center. Fold in each side of the wrapper, then finish rolling. (Make sure you roll each egg roll tightly so that oil does not seep in while you’re frying them). In a wok or large skillet, heat a few inches of oil to about 375 degrees. Fry the eggrolls until they are brown and crispy, which only takes about a minute and a half to two minutes.
(Makes: 15 small eggrolls)
