I found these three recipes on the news this morning. I'm adding them to my reportoir, add some candles, soft music...well, you get the idea. ;-)
Stacked Spinach & Pear Salad with Crumbled Blue Cheese
INGREDIENTS:
2 pears (core removed)
4 cups baby spinach (washed)
8 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
METHOD:
Thinly slice pear into 1/8 inch slices horizontal and keep each pear together to retain its shape. Arrange alternate layers of half a pear and 1 cup spinach leaves per salad to make a stack.
Sprinkle each salad with 2 tablespoons of blue cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle each salad with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon vinegar just before serving.
Serves four.

Talapia Tacos for Two
4 frozen tilapia filets
crushed red pepper
1 small can, green chilis
cumin
oregano
dash of garlic
EVOO
hard or soft taco shells/tortillas
drizzle skillet with EVOO, cook slightly frozen filets, add other ingredients. Cook until fish flakes easily.
Flake fish, in the the skillet, or out. Add back to skillet. Allow to cook for a few minutes more, to allow flavors to blend. Fill taco shells or tortillas. Add any condiments you desire. (Something I like to do occasionally is place a slice of pepperjack cheese on the taco/tortilla shell before adding hot taco filling.)
Sides:
Frijoles negro...black beans. Dried or canned. To cook dried black beans, soak overnight, drain (or not LOL) cook over a slow fire for approximately 4 hours, add any flavor ingredients you wish...
Avocado salad...two small haas avocados
1 small tomato
1 small can sliced, black olives
dollop of sour cream
bleu cheese crumbles
bleu cheese dressing
Cut avocados in half, around the seed. Discard seed. (Or place in a pot of soil, water regularly, for an interesting house plant.) Remove fruit from skin, and dice in medium-sized chunks, add to bowl. Dice small tomato in medium-sized chunks, add to bowl. Drain black olives, add to bowl. Add cheese crumbles, sour cream, and dressing, mix well.
Bon Apetit!
