Oh, oh, oh!  If you look at my food diary blog much---you know I DON"T FRY STUFF! I bake it even though sometimes it looks as though it could have been fried, I can assure you it was not. 

I can't remember the last time I fried (deep fried) anything at all. I save the "fried foods" for eating out, which is not often at all.  Anyway, I was absolutely CRAVING fried foods. The only way to get rid of that kind of food craving is to do it. 

I did do it, two days to be exact! I think that will solve this problem for a LONG time, I hope. LOL Since I was into "trying frying" mode, I fried a few things that I personally never had fried before. For example, sliced cucumber, sliced apple, and sliced pickles. I'd eaten that in my life (I think) but never tried to fry it personally. 

Photo 1 is of all the various fried foods together in a container lined with newspaper and paper towels to absorb some of the oil.

Photo 2 is some of the homemade potato chips and homemade dip. Wonderful combo!

I have to say that this was absolutely out-of-this-world to me. The various items fried all had their own distinctive flavor and were tender, though crunchy from being fried and just plain good! Nope, I can't do that again for a long time!

HEALTHY, HEALTHY, HEALTHY

And DELICIOUS, too!

Someone "shared" some delicious veggies with me and I have experimented with cooking "new to me" dishes. Some of this I wouldn't find in the grocery store that I shop in or it would just flat be too expensive to buy. Also, this was my first time to even hear of some of it so without the share package---I probably wouldn't have "tried" it, simply because I didn't know what it was. LOL

I posted a meal on my blog on March 17, 2014, telling how I prepared the veggies. Today, I did this:

I placed 2 (frozen) fish fillets and the asparagus in a medium sized, oblong, baking dish.  I added a very small amount of olive oil. Just about 1 teaspoon or so. I usually only spay the dish but I wanted enough today to  LIGHTLY coat the asparagus and fish.  I placed saran wrap over the dish and punched about 4 times with a fork (to vent steam). Placed in microwave and cooked at 2 minute intervals testing each time to see if fish was flaky and if asparagus was done. I'd never done asparagus in the microwave before so I wanted to be SURE it wasn't overcooking.

I had the ingredients already chopped in food processor for the rice dish I blogged on the 17th. I chopped enough that day to have leftover, chopped veggies that I could have left for this raw salad. You will want to look at that blog
http://lilme2day-justsaying.blogspot.com/2014/03/amazing-healthy-veggie-rice.html   to see all the absolutely wonderful veggies in this mixture. It made it nice to have the cooked veggie/rice mixture one time and then the raw veggie mixture another meal.

I used part of a sliced Roma tomato as a finishing touch. 

For the sauce/dressing:

1 T. olive oil

1 t. spicy mustard

1T. lemon juice

ground black pepper and other seasonings of choice

small dab of red pepper

Mix and add to food, as a topping. 

Amazingly good, amazingly nutritious!

Late Night French Toast

Late night French Toast!

One night, not long ago, I wasn't sleeping all that well. I think I was hungry and that was part of the reason I couldn't sleep that night (after a 14 hr. fast for blood tests). I avoid late evening/night meals, usually. 

For French Toast;

1 egg combined with milk (or you can use water), beaten

2 slices wheat bread

Heat skillet on top of stove, with a small amount of olive oil. Dip bread in egg/milk mixture to cover entire piece of bread. Place in skillet. Repeat with other piece of bread.

Pan-fry both sides until brown (low to moderate heat). 

Remove to plate, add syrup, a small sprinkle of powdered sugar. I used Karo syrup and also sliced a strawberry or two to add on top.

I certainly don't want to crave this too often or late at night but it's a real treat sometimes!

Thank you for reading my blog. 

*I realize my method of cooking or choice of food is not for everyone. I share on this blog just in case someone else likes to cook easy, simple, but basically healthy food.
