Day 7: BBQ Chicken Pizza and Recap
Posted by: | On: Dec 23, 2012 | Comments
BBQ Chicken, Brie and Mozzarella Pizza
Day 7. It began with the chicken and in a closing, circle of life kind of way, it should end with the chicken. The legs and thighs from Day One were topped with a bit of BBQ Rub and baked in the oven. The meat was then shredded and added to a from scratch pizza crust topped with the red sauce, fresh mozzerella and the rest of the brie cheese. As a picture is worth a thousand words, the previous week is recapped in photos. Food on a budget can be Delicious And nutritious; food from the heart is good for the heart.

Day Five: Spicy Shrimp Cakes with Mash and Sautéed Green Beans
Posted by: | On: Dec 21, 2012 | CommentsFor Day Five it’s a spicy trip to the Chesapeake Bay. Simple sautéed shrimp are elevated with some classic Mediterranean style spices, herbs and a touch of heat. Once the shrimp salad (recipe follows) is finished, form about eight ounces in to four two-ounce patties (reserve the remaining two ounces of salad for ravioli stuffing). Dredge the patties in 2 Tbs of flour mixed with 1 Tbs of Old Bay. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat and cook each patty until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes each side. Serve with a simple mashed potato and sautéed green beans. For a little international flair, top the shrmp cakes with salsa and guacamole.
