Sesame Pineapple

Mmmmmm, so I wanted to share my yummy salad topping that I made the other day! I was in the mood for a salad but something different and kind of asian inspired. So I went to my publix and picked up some pineapple and this amazing light sesame ginger vinaigrette, it is made by Wishbone you have to try it! I had everything else I needed at home. I used spinach for the salad base, then tomatoes, avocado, tuna, and then I made some sesame pineapple.


I love experimenting and coming up with ideas. Since food is normally always at the top of my mind I have little ideas just pop up in my head during the day lol! Here is how you make sesame pineapple...

It's super easy all you do is take a skillet spray some olive oil and then pour a lil sesame oil about 2 circles in it. Heat the skillet up to medium hot. Then take a can of chunk pineapple,(super cheap its only about 80 cents, get the type that is in it's juice not syrup) drain the juice and add the pineapple to the pan and let it sit there with out stirring it for about 4 min then flip them so they can brown up on the other side. Sprinkle some sesame seeds over the pineapples as they are browning, they should stick pretty nicely to the pineapples. Then after they have browned up to your liking, try not to over cook them, set the pan aside so they can cool down some. Once you make your salad throw them on top and enjoy!!

I loved this salad with the tuna, but I think it would be even more fabulous with some grilled chicken. I just didn't feel like thawing out any the other night, so I enjoyed it with the tuna. Hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!

Breakfast for Dinner!

I wanted to share what I made the other night for dinner. We were in the mood to have breakfast since we had some amazing pepper bacon just waiting for us in the fridge. I decided to be adventurous and throw a couple of ingredients into a baking dish to make what some people would say it is a spanish omelet. I just called it my easy bake creation!


What I found in my house Ingredients:
Russet Potatoes (I used 3 med sized ones)
Butter
1/2 Onion
Bella Mushrooms
Eggs (I used 4)
Cheddar Cheese (just enough to cover the top)
Mozzarella Cheese (I used this because I didn't have enough Cheddar)
Veggie or Olive oil spray

Preheat oven to about 325
I used a circular baking dish for this.

Take the potatoes and peel and slice about 1 inch thick round discs to cover the bottom of the dish. Take a couple of spoon fulls of butter and place over the potatoes. Place the dish in the microwave for 3 min. I had one left over potato that I took and chopped very thinly as in almost hash brown size, place it to the side. Then take your 1/2 onion and cut it in half. Take one of the halves and mince it and then slice up the other half into longer pieces such as you would put on a burger. I like having different textures if you want to mince your whole half, or have it all in the long pieces go for it.

Once the 3 min are up on the microwave add the thinly sliced potatoes on top with the minced onions and sliced onions. Take a couple of spoon fulls of butter again and place in equal parts across the top of this. Place in the microwave for another 3 min.

After this is done in the microwave take it out to rest and cool down. While resting beat about 4 eggs together, the amount depends on what size baking dish you are using so adjust where needed. Pour the eggs over the potatoes. Then slice up the bella mushrooms and place on top. Spray the mushrooms with some oil. Then sprinkle with some garlic salt and pepper.

Bake this for about 10 min, then add on the cheese. Bake for another 10 min, and check on it. When the cheese starts becoming brown then it is ready to eat! Mmmmmmmm

You can add whatever else you think you would like to it. Maybe add in some ham, or top it with some salsa. This is a super simple meal and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!!!!!
