Made some seafood roll-ups (Got the idea from Alton Brown's Good Eats)
Salmon, tilapia and scallops.


Broiled in the oven. Next time I will do it on the grill, but this was still great. Served with butternut squash and peas.


Here is a little experimenting with the leftover fish on a cedar plank on the grill.

 

Grilled ribeye and cauliflower. I also had green beans sauted with bacon and mushrooms with it, but forgot to take a picture of the plate

 

Sadly, my wife and yout won't eat seafood that isn't shrimp. BUT, I promise you, I'm trying this talapia/salmon/scallop spiral trick the next time they aren't home.

 

I just got an offer to settle a big debt and have a guy build me a grill/smoker. I was thinking about maybe making a trailer so that I can use it anywhere and everywhere. If you guys have any ideas, plans or details please let me know and include pics!!!! I am excited!!!

 

How do you like that cedar plank for the fish?

 

It is great. I like the flavor, and when you soak the plank in water, you can add apple juice, lemon juice, garlic etc. and it will infuse the flavor in the fish.
It is also really easy since I always have the fish stick to my grill basket or foil, and with the plank it is easy to get it off.
The only thing that I don't like is that the planks will take a lot of effort to clean and sanitize if you want to re-use them like in restaurants. Fortunately they are cheap enough to use once and then use as kindling for the next fire.

 

The original recipe used salmon, flounder and scallops. I had fresh tilapia so I used it instead of the flounder.
This is a winner that I will definately make again.

 

We made bacon-wrapped turkey burgers for Memorial Day celebration.
Grilled mushrooms and onions to top it, along with fresh tomatoe.


Homemade chocolate mouse cheesecake for dessert.




While the grill was going, I also grilled/smoked baby back ribs and 2 pork loins, so along with left-over burger patties, we have food for the rest of the week's dinners, all ready to just heat up and pair with a quick veggie and/or salad.

 

Left over ribeye made some great hash this morning!

 

Food looks great guys, here's a filet i grilled out medium rare, also baked potato and a salad.

 

^^^yummy!

 

dinner......kind of added alot of noodles.. but oh well!!! GF found the recipe on food network. called korean beef noodles.

 

Man everything looks good!!!! I am starving, but I lost 15 lb in a month.

 

I'll have to try those Korean beef noodles sometime!!! ^^^

 

What was in this beefy noodley goodness???

 

Made some dinner the other night. It is Gnudi all acqui al 2 (dua), which is basically ricotta cheese meatballs in fresh tomato sauce. For the gnudi, I sauteed up spinach in olive oil and garlic then added it to ricotta and parmesan with some flour to bind it. Form it into meatballs. For the sauce it was fresh tomatoes,seeded and chopped large. I sauteed the tomatoes in garlic olive oil and at the end added a huge handful of fresh basil. Once the sauce was done gently place the meatballs into the sauce, generously sprinkle parmesan cheese over the meatballs and throw it in a preheated 400# oven for 10 minutes or so to brown the meatballs.

Here is all the fresh veggies and herbs



Tomatoes in the pan



Added the basil



Added the gnudi, ricotta meatballs

 

And they were really good!!!!

 

Siracha for the win!

 

I bet!!
