Suprise went for hot dogs and gas gift card and caught Fish for Dinner

So I went to Publix grocery shopping today because Hebrew National Dogs were BOGO and they had this spend 25.00 get 10.00 of a 50.00 gas gift card, which was a great deal so off I went.

Of course they had someone cooking something.  It was an Publix Apron's Recipe for

Grilled Fish With Lemon Sauce and Crunchy Cranberry Waldorf Salad

(this is the picture that was used on the publix site not mine...if i ever get a smarter smart phone I will take photos and upload to the blog, but for now I will shnow what they are using)
 
Now the lady making it made some changes she didnt use the recommend fish, instead she used a Mahi Mahi and she didnt have a grill she was using an electric frying pan. Connor always makes me stop and grab a plate of whatever it is and I love that he wants to taste everything.

Any how he hated it and I loved it. Ok he hated the fish, which I loved and he ate all the apples from the salad.  So, off I went to buy the fish.  Which I was informed was really over priced, so I went with the Tilapia, as it was ok to use as per the recipe and also was a fish I am used to cooking with and like the taste of.  I also picked up a Bequiet for a nice bit of bread on the side and I figured wow cream spinich would be nice with this (lol ok was looking for an excuse to make it again) Remeber I blogged about it the other night?

It was a recipe by Anne Burrell

Let me just say I dont normally hear those sounds coming from Jeremy for my cooking.  What a simple simple recipe that really was all about the sauce making the difference.

I say give it a shot and I am sure you wont be disappointed.

decided to grill the other night

Since we have a larger size smoker/grill, i make sure to cook a bunch of stuff at once as to not waste the charcoal.

So I marinaded steak and chicken breast.  For the marinades I used:

For the steak I used a recipe by Emeril Lagasse


http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/marinated-and-grilled-london-broil-with-emerils-homemade-steak-sauce-recipe/index.html

Now remember all I actually used was the marinade, and nothing else.  Also I didnt feel like making "essence" so I just took what should have been in it and threw it in the marinade.  WOW it was really tasty!

For the chicken breast I used a recipe for marinade by Bobby Flay



http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/butterflied-chicken-with-thyme-lemon-garlic-and-ricotta-cheese-recipe/index.html

again only the marinade.

Then I wanted to try Cream Spinich.  Now first you should know I dont like spinich and always hated the smell of it creamed.  Can we SAY OMFG that was AWESOME!!! Jeremy said any time I want to make him a big bowl of that for a meal to feel free.
