The Dude of Food presents pasta Alfredo

alfredo p3

So when I craved pasta with Alfredo sauce I just took a half pound of bacon, trimmed the fat and pan fried it. After draining the pan I added some onions and finely chopped garlic. Thawed frozen peas were added and then fresh broccoli . Later, cheating, I added a jar of Alfredo sauce and a small container of another brand of Alfredo sauce with some milk. I added a dash of salt, some black pepper. You can add basil or mint or whatever flavor you like and bring to a slow simmer.

Add Penne pasta and enjoy.

Top with cheese as preferred.

Buddhist Delight Stir Fry

stir fry

Easy. Quick. Delicious.

Take the bok choy, grape tomatoes, broccoli, green or white onion and other desired veggies from the fridge, wash and dice to desired size. I like the bok choy whole so I don’t bother chopping it or the tomatoes, but please  yourself.

Put some olive oil in a pan with some soy or teriyaki sauce over medium heat.

Add veggies and cover, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote even heating. Cook for 10- 15 minutes depending on heat level.

When it looks ready to eat, scoop a heap on a plate over some warm rice and serve. For a lovely extra flavor, stir in drained pineapple chunks to the pan about 5 minutes before removing from heat.

Sit. Eat. Enjoy. Be happy.

Healthy dieters breakfast

Salmon broccoli eggs and oranges.
Salmon broccoli eggs and oranges.

This breakfast is easy and delicious. It may not cure a hangover, but it tastes way better than liver. Take some of last nights leftover salmon and reheat it in a pan. Take some broccoli chunks and lightly steam them. Asparagus is quick and easy to steam too.

Next, whip a couple eggs in a bowl with a touch of milk, water works too, and scramble in a separate pan. Cut some fresh oranges and arrange.

Serve with an english muffin, coffee or another cold beer.

Note:  A side of last nights rice warmed up can accompany this dish nicely also.
