Bone IN Rib Eye

Nothing is better than a nice piece of steak, I personally believe its all about the way you marinate your meat. For this steak I first chopped fresh rosemary and garlic, placed on steak. Sprinkled paprika, salt, pepper. Then I splashed a little soy sauce and lemon juice on top. Relocate yourself to the grill and grill for about ten minutes creating grill marks onto steak. Wait a few minutes before cutting into steak and then enjoy! The longer you marinate the steaks the stronger the flavor.

Roasted Sage Buttery Red Potatoes

Something I recently discovered, Buttery Red potatoes, Nothing compares to the creaminess of these potatoes. Other potatoes don't even compare! slice potatoes into wedges, throw into a bowl with olive oil, paprika, tumeric, chopped fresh sage, minced garlic. Lay them onto a cookie sheet and allow them to cook on low head for 40 minutes. I enjoy eating them on the crisp side, so if you like them softer cook them for only 30 minutes.

Sauteed Garlic Green Beans

One of my favorite snack item when I visit sushi restaurants. They usually give a small portion as a appetizer however when you have a appetite like mine a little is never enough! I like to buy my green beans from Trader Joes since they are nicely packaged and always great in condition. Cut both ends off the green beans and wash in a strainer, Next fill a stock pot with about one cup of water and throw beans inside. Allow beans to steam on a low heat until green beans are cooked. In another smaller stock pot place chopped garlic, ginger, about 6 teaspoons of soy sauce, 6 tablespoons of vegetarian oyster sauce ( located at your local asian market). Sauteed sauce for about 20 minutes until garlic softens, then drain remainder liquids out of green bean pot, combine the beans and sauce together and allow the two to marinate on low heat until ready to serve.

Gourmet Oils & Vinegars

Nothing is better than great quality oils and vinegars. For those of you who don't know the difference, trust me there's a huge difference and you can notice it when you taste the item alone. I received these two bottles as a gift from a friend and used it in several different cooking dishes, but enjoyed the flavors most when added into a basic salad.

Think twice the next time you buy your oils and vinegars!

Carrot Ginger Soup

A healthy and filling soup! 

First you want to boil one container of vegetable stock with a cup of water. Followed by adding in one white onion cubed, one bag of baby carrots, salt, pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper & cumin. Next you want to add in four garlic cloves minced and equal parts minced fresh garlic. 

Once everything is boil, it'll take about 45 minutes for everything to soften, use a hand blender to blend the entire mixture. Allow soup to then cook and sit for about another 30 minutes. 

To serve add a few ladels of soup, a teaspoon of seeds of your choice with sunflower or pumpkin and s a dash of truffle oil.

Huevos Racheros

So I went on a bit of an obsession with the loved breakfast item however every time I ordered and consumed this delicious dish, I always had my own little critiques left and right. I wish they added this, a little more of that, too much of this, the tostada isn't crunchy enough. Finally I decided to create my own version with all of my additions.

Ingredients to buy:

Corn tortilla
eggs
cheese
greek yogurt
cilantro
tomatoes
onions
lemon
beans
avocado


First fry the torillas in oil, I used 100% natural corn tortillas, but you can use any kind. Heat up oil in a skillet and gently add in one by one the tortillas, with the extra ones I cut them and made chips.

For the pico de gallo, chop white onions, cilantro, tomatoes, jalepeno for a kick of spice. Lastly add in some lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Instead of sour cream I used 0% faye greek yogurt, chopped in some cilantro, salt and pepper.

For the egg I made two sunny side up eggs and topped them off with some shredded mozzarella cheese.

Heat up beans of choice! I used cuban black beans which also had peppers and onions in them, mashed half of the can and allowed the rest to stay whole.


Now for the assembly!
Place a few spoonfuls of beans on the bottom of the plate, place crisp tortillas on top, eggs, pico de gallo, avocado and then a spoonful of yogurt.
