Baked breaded Sole w/ Artichoke Olive Salad


"Sole, I have never heard of that type of fish"....Well, next time check your local grocery store or fish market. This is such a nice light fish. It almost taste like butter!

Sole- is a flat fish. They lay on the ocean floor. So this means his top is dark so he is camouflage and the bottom is white. The bottom is what we eat.

Quick and easy dinner.

pat the filets dry, Season with salt and pepper
Breaded: put the filet in flour, then, egg wash, then bread crumbs or I used Panko. Lay the filet on a cookie sheet bake @ 350 for 5-10 minutes. EASY

Salad:
can of artichokes
can of black olives
add as many as desired
add mozzarella
salt & pepper
olive oil & balsamic vinaigrette

Shooting with Bob Thunder..



Hey fans,
I had the pleasure of meeting Joe Nation and Brittani Louise Taylor, HUGE YOUTUBE stars exactly one year ago. We met through iamrogue's VIP giveaway @ the HR in Vegas. The photo above actually was used in the VIP months issue that was in the room at the Hard Rock. You can kinda see it in the top left middle pic...LOL
We have stayed good friends over the year. So recently Joe and I were thinking that it would be totally cool if Bob Thunder made an appearance baking in the kitchen with lovelyladycakes....

Back story, I was minding my business in the kitchen talking to you guys when I got a knock on my door, and Bob Thunder just busted through the door. He was fighting ninjas in my hallway so how convenient it was that I let him in to make Killer Brownies with me..Here is the video if you would like to check it out...

xoxox,
LOVE


Catch up with life...

I am very much enjoying my life of shooting How To Videos on YouTube. I am becoming quite the little entrepreneur. I now have learned Final Cut Pro, and have learned how to edit and shoot my own videos. Note to self: don't shot your own videos when dealing with sautéing onions. My whole time attending culinary school to now never have burned my self worse trying to hold the camera and cook at the same time..OPPS..

Busy times: I was asked to teach 10 adults who work at the Disney consumer Products building in Glendale. This was such an amazing experience. I had a drive on pass thank goodness which just means you roll up in your car like in the movies and my name was on the list to drive onto the lot..LOL...When I walked in it was decorated like a fairy princess and buzz and woody were there made out of legos.
The ladies said there was a color chart which the staff all put together. LOL These ladies were so fun, and I hope enjoyed my class. I taught them covering cupcakes with buttercream, tips, making your own piping bags, fondant, and everything to getting messy.

Kale Salad with Sausage and Sunflower Seeds

Kale is a leafy green vegetable that can help with cholesterol and for lowering-risk for cancer. Also, it is low in calories. It is a yearly leaf that can be found at most grocery stores.
So for tonights dinner I had random items of food all around the kitchen. I usually just add everything I see in sight and bam there is the meal...But today I was reading Bon Appetit, and was inspired by a recipe with Kale. I thought to myself, "I have Kale in my fridge". The recipe I read called for bacon and Leeks with Kale, and I thought, "I am so gonna make that when I have bacon and Leeks." But tonight I happen to have sausage from Trader Joes and random items like sunflower seeds, and Kale.

By the way, SunFlower Seeds are an excellent source of Vitamin E.
Here is how I made it..

1 link of sausage with out the casing
1/4 onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds
1 tsp. smoked paprika
dash of Salt
dash of pepper
4-5 cups of chopped Kale
2-3 Tbs. Butter or olive oil

In a sauté pan, on medium heat place sausage with out its casing in the pan. The fat of the sausage or bacon will render. Place to the side after its cooked. Add onions and sauté on medium low for 3 mins, add garlic, sunflower seeds, paprika, salt and pepper. Set aside with the sausage or bacon. In the same pan add 2-3 tbs of butter, add Kale on medium heat for 3-4 mins. Add everything that was set to the side and sauté for 2 mins. Serve...

Easter in Dallas

While I was in Dallas who I really wanted to see was my family. We were in Grandview, Tx. my favorite place on earth. My grandmother happens to live there as well as my aunt and uncle. My mom and Dad drove in to see us since Damon's last stop on Digi tour was Dallas so I picked him up. It turned out perfect.

This is my favorite place to sit, my grandmothers front porch where the truck drivers honk their horn at her and you think I'm kidding...
The only thing that was missing was my sister Laura...
I love these ladies! They have made me the woman I am today..
if you ever see these people give them a hi-five...the aunt and uncle
