Black pepper to taste 

Easy meal and perfect warm weather meal.

Pepper chicken

I 1/4 lb. Boneless chicken breasts sliced lengthwise across t***They cook much quicker. Pound to thin if desired.

 About 1 tsp. Salt, heavily ground pepper.) I placed all in a large zip lock bag.along with about 5 tablespoons vegetable oil.

Lock bag after  ground peppercorns ,adding a few whole peppercorns and some vegetable oil to bag.

. Allow to marinate about 1/2 hour.

Corn and rice and veggie mix as sides.

I’m using my grill Pan since we do not have a grill.

Place grill pan on stove to heat thoroughly.

Place chicken on heated grill pan

Steak, cheese and onion Stromboli

I package refrigerated Aldi or and store bought pizza dough.  Follow directions.  This package I had frozen so you can freeze pizza dough.  Thaw in refrigerator overnight.

.

4 thin minute steak (frozen thin steaks like steak um)

1small onion sliced thin 

Mixture of grated mozzarella, American and cheddar and a a little ricotta cheese if desired.

Place about 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil in skillet.

Add sliced onion and slowly sauté onion until it is translucent.  Add broken pieces of steak. Salt and pepper. Cook until meat is browned and onion is almost soft.

When all is cooked.  Drain mixture on paper towel to remove some grease.

 Preheat oven to 375°.

I made 2 round size pieces out of dough and rolled them individually as flat as I could.  Topped with meat, onion and grated cheese and pinch sides to close. You can add cooked peppers too but also make sure you blot them well when adding. If mixture is too greasy you can have difficulty closing the stromboli. FYI 

 Bake according to directions on dough package.

Note:  Brush with olive oil salt, pepper before baking. Mine didn't brown well so I turned my oven broiler on and watched it until it browned.   It browns quickly!!!

Serve with marinara and side salad.

  

Pork tenderloin with my seasonings

A very enjoyable meal .  Pork tenderloins are a convenient meal for us.  They come in various sizes and I can always find one to suit our needs and a recipe that I can easily make to my meal collections.

I didn't have time time to decide what to make for dinner this evening(busy day but lazy day) but had taken from the freezer the night before a small pork tenderloin.  It was about a pound.

 In a large zip lock bag I Seasoned a pork tenderloin not by measure just with a guess lol salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and added sliced red onion and some extra virgin olive oil.  Enough of olive oil to make all seasonings stick to the tenderloin.  Got it!  Don't be afraid to be generous for yummy flavor.

I Added some par cooked small potatoes and a few cleaned carrots.  Note: par cooking is a great way to jump start a meal.  Especially raw vegetables.  It cuts on time and I know pork tenderloins cook rather quickly.  I baked it  uncovered 400° .   I’m figuring about 45 minutes. Do not overbake.

Since I don’t have any fruit handy I’ll be serving this with some diced canned peaches. #iliketobakeandcookblog

Hot dogs, fried potatoes and beans

We don’t eat hotdogs very often, but when we do, I prefer them to be served with fried potatoes.

Simple but tasty meal you can serve as is or add a salad or rolls.  This will serve two!

4 all beef hot dogs Cut in small pieces

Two large potatoes, skinned, and cut in medium slices

Vegetable oil, salt, and pepper and onion powder.

Baked beans cook separately 

In a large pan place a little vegetable oil. When oil is heated, add washed and skin potatoes, Salt, pepper and onion powder. You can use fresh onion, if desired, sliced thin.
