Not Much To Say

I know I haven't written much lately. I haven't had a whole lot to talk about unfortunately. I've just been super swamped at work, which as my dad says is "A good problem to have." I guess that's true. It's a lot better being busy and employed than to have an empty schedule and be unemployed. But I'm getting geared up for the big AIDS Walk this Sunday. Thank-you to everyone that has donated money. I really appreciate it. And it's for a great cause. And as far as healthy eating goes, I have another quick recipe for all of you that I put together myself last night. This is not a derivative recipe, it's my own creation. It's just a marinade that I created for some Mahi-Mahi that I cooked last night. This is usually a fish you'll see at a restaurant encrusted in Macadamia nut. Which tastes delicious but does make it a bit less healthy for you. I typically cook mine on our little grill-thingy in our kitchen. It's a great tasting fish and it's usually pretty cheap. I bought two nice cuts of it for $7 last night at Whole Foods. Then I took them home rubbed my new homemade marinade on them and grilled them. I was doing other things in the kitchen at the same time so I can't give you grill times. But my advice to you when cooking fish is place it on the grill and watch how the color starts to change. When it gets opaque up to about 60 percent of the fish and it comes off easily from the grill, then flip it over and let it cook for a bit on the other side. That's about it.

Marinade Recipe(all measurements for ingredients are to taste)

Grape Seed Oil (Good for high temperature cooking, especially stir fry)
Lemon Juice
Salt
Pepper
Ground Ginger
Palm Sugar (Whole Foods has it in the coffee section)

Mix the grape seed oil and the lemon juice first. Taste it. If you like the balance add the salt and pepper. Again taste to see if you like the flavor. Then add the ginger and taste. Then add some palm sugar and taste again. Grape seed oil the other elements will begin to separate fairly quickly so make sure to mix the marinade really well before you coat both sides of the fish with it. That's pretty much it. Serve with whatever side dish you want. I used soy noodles and vegetables last night. I would stay away from a side that is too sweet because the fish and marinade are on the sweeter side. The marinade could also act as a salad dressing too if you want. Eat it and enjoy. And try experimenting yourself and let me know if you come up with any cool healthy recipes that I can try.
