Broiled London Broil plus marinade


  • This is a first for me. I will make this again! 












    ½ cup olive oil

  •  cup soy sauce

  •  cup fresh lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons dried basil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons garlic powder (1 large garlic clove minced)

  • 1 ½ tablespoons dried parsley flakes

  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (Optional)


    MARINADE AT LEAST 6 hours covered in refrigerator to bring out the flavor.


    Tender, flavorful and easy to make.  Enjoy!


    1 1/4 lb. London broil ( round steak)

    Score on each side (I went a little too deep with my scoring).  Pour marinade over roast and turn over making sure to get the marinade into all areas. Place in refrigerator covered and turn occasionally over several hours to marinate well for the ultimate juices to blend.

    Broiled on lower rack on HIGH 7 minutes then turn over for another 7 minutes.

      Personally Al enjoyed it medium well but I put mine back in oven for 5 minutes more.

Rest for 2 minutes and slice at an angle very thin.

Sticky rice with shrimp




  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. fresh ginger minced
  • A few slices of variegated peppers 
  • 1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. white pepper optional
  • ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakesoptional
  • 1 pound raw shrimp size medium (see note)(**** I used frozen and thawed cooked and deveined shrimp)
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil
  • 1 tsp. corn starch
  • 2 green onions sliced thinly on the diagonal

  • Note:


  • Serving Suggestion: For a fast dinner toss some rice in the rice maker before you start the shrimp and steam up some broccoli or heat up some frozen broccoli. Alternately these shrimp go great over stir fried veggies or even just by themselves! Party food anybody?
  • In a small bowl, whisk everything together except the shrimp, corn starch and onions.


    • Place the shrimp in a bowl and pour about half the sauce over it, stirring to coat.
    • Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp to the hot oil. Cook about 1 minute, stirring at least once.
    • Whisk corn starch into the rest of the marinade and add to the pan. Cook about one more minute until shrimp are cooked through. Tip: Shrimp turn a nice light pink right through to the middle when they are cooked. Cut open the thickest part of a shrimp if you want to double check.

    • Sprinkle green onions over the shrimp and serve hot over rice or on a plate. (Rice is a great delivery system for the delicious sauce on the shrimp.)

    Chicken Tomato vegetable soup

    Lunch today. Chicken tomato and vegetable soup.  Deli roast beef with Dijon. Perfect lunch for me.

    I made an easy version of soup.  Sautéed cartots, chopped uncooked pieces of chicken, onion and celery slowly in olive oil. When tender I added a quart chicken broth and cream of tomato soup.  Brought to a slow boil and added 1 cup dried star pasta and I cup chopped spinach.

    . Yummy lunch on this super weird weather day!

    Honey chipotle Riblets









    NOTE: 
    Hi, my adapted recipe has the chipotle eliminated. I don’t care for it but recipe is posted as it is called for.
    I also used pork cut into pieces for my riblets.

    Also to give it a kick I added 2 T spicy bbq sauce.











     

    Oats and stuff cookies











    A good day to bake!



    1 cup oats 
    Pinch salt
    1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
    1 T soft peanut butter
    2 ripe bananas smashed
    1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
    1/4 cup dried cranberries

    Bake as directed.  Yummy!
