Sweet and Spicy Saltfish with Veggie Quinoa

First of all a big thank you to CFE International for inviting me to participate in this years CFE’s International Saltfish Blogger Recipe Challenge! It's been a long winter with heavy stews and soups and now that spring is here I wanted to dig in to some of my favorite tastes and brighten up with this easy Sweet and Spicy Saltfish with Veggie Quinoa recipe. I couldn't resist going back to notes of sweet and spicy. I love how the flavors complimented each other and hope you do as well!

Fish is salted in order to preserve it for future consumption. The objective is to rapidly remove moisture while allowing the salt to uniformly penetrate the flesh of the fish. This process occurs through osmosis. Preservation is achieved by reducing the moisture content and it is enhanced by the high salt concentration in the flesh, which prevents the growth of bacteria.

You'll need to soak the fish and rinse a few times to rehydrate and to remove some of the saltiness. I began in the morning and did 3 rinses and it was fine by dinner. You will also notice the fish plumps up after soaking! Since it's wild caught you know your getting the absolute best quality fish out there!

Sweet and Spicy Saltfish with Veggie Quinoa Recipe:

For the Quinoa:

1 cup quinoa

2 cups chicken stock

1 TBSP. olive oil

1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced

1/2 red bell pepper. diced

1/2 cup red onion, sliced

1 cup fresh snow peas, ends trimmed

1 clove garlic, grated

1 TBSP. fresh ginger, grated

1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple

salt and pepper, to taste

For the glaze:

1/2 red bell pepper, minced

2 fresno chilis, seeded and minced

3/4 cup water

4 TBSP. pineapple preserves

Directions:

1 bag Buena Ventura Wild Caught Salted Pollack that has been soaked and rinsed. See package directions.

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.

Prepare the Veggie Quinoa:

Saute yellow and red bell pepper, snow peas and onion in olive oil for 3 minutes, set aside. Bring 2 cups chicken stock to boil, add quinoa, garlic and ginger. Cover and simmer 15 minutes, until done.

Meanwhile cook the fish in shallow baking pan uncovered for 7 minutes. Remove and cover with foil to keep warm.

Make the glaze:

Bring 3/4 cup water to boil. Add the 1/2 red bell pepper, fresno chilis and pineapple preserves. Continue cooking until thickened and sticky. About 4 minutes.

Add the 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple to quinoa and fluff.

Plate fish on top of quinoa and drizzle with glaze.

Little Diablo Salsa

Don't you just love salsa? We sure do in my family. Little Diablo Salsa recently sent me a generous box with three of they're amazing salsa's and I adore them! I received the Mild Garlic, the Medium and also the Mild Artichoke. I started off right away with the Mild Garlic and the first thing I noticed was how fresh it tasted. I could actually taste the tomato's, peppers and spices individually yet at the same time. YUM! Just the perfect amount of heat too and the kiddos loved it on they're scrambled eggs. That jar did not last long and I ended up using the last of it on my salad which is perfect since.... say what? No fat grams!

The hubby totally demolished the entire jar of Medium in one sitting. Since he considers himself a Salsa Aficionado living in Texas this one clearly gets two thumbs up. Looks like I will need to get more!  Little Diablo's Mild Artichoke is the one I used to make baked chicken and rice. Just added the jar right on top of the chicken while it baked. This came out so delicious and juicy. A little on the spicy side for kids but perfect if you like a kick in your meals and for entertaining. Little Diablo Salsa's are all totally natural vegetarian, gluten and preservative free and made with the freshest ingredients. Don't forget Father's Day y'all! This is absolutely a perfect gift! Check out Little Diablo Salsa on they're site and see all the goodies including gift boxes for yourself.  Can't wait? Little Diablo Salsa is giving away an awesome gift box to one of you that includes salsa's and a serving tray! Ends 06/22/2015 USA only. Enter on the form below and good luck!

Happy Earth Day!

April is the month we celebrate Earth Day! It's a reason to take a look at how you're doing in the kitchen when it comes to being more mindful about what we're eating, how we're getting it to the table and what happens after the meal is over. Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Plant a garden. Gardening is fun activity for the whole family. Even toddlers can help with planting and watering the plants. Container gardens are a great way to accommodate small spaces. Tomatoes, lemons and herbs are just a few of the things that are easy to grow in a pot. A fun idea is to plant a theme garden. A spaghetti sauce garden can include tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and herbs. A salsa garden might include tomatoes, jalapenos, onions and cilantro.
• Start a produce co-op to share with gardener friends. Last year, I started a produce co-op in my neighborhood. We have an online group to post when we have produce to share. Sometimes we might have more tomatoes, cucumbers or squash than we can use or process before it spoils, so sharing the bounty is a handy option. These Baja Breakfast Burritos would be a great way to use up extra produce.
• Start a compost pile. Fruit and vegetable peels can add up and instead of throwing them in the trash, a compost pile is a natural way to let the waste work for good. Once the compost is ready, it is full of nutrients and can be added to your garden. Compost containers come in all shapes and sizes at garden centers, online or you can build your own to work in different spaces.
• Go meatless one day a week. Adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet is not only good for your body with all the extra vitamins and minerals, but it's also good for the planet. Growing and producing fruits and vegetables creates fewer greenhouse emissions than the production of other food items. This Bow Ties & Veggies recipe is simple and flavorful.
• Choose seasonal, local produce. Seasonal produce is often less expensive because it is more plentiful and easier for farmers to grow. Produce grown in greenhouses or far away is just more expensive to grow! You'll also be helping reduce the amount of fuel it takes to transport the food. These Fruit & Cream Delights highlight seasonal summer fruit and are a healthier way to enjoy a sweet treat.
• Preserve seasonal produce to enjoy year-round. Take advantage of fresh produce sales or the bounty from your garden by freezing or canning produce. You'll not only save money but you can feel good knowing your choices today can be enjoyed all year long.

It’s simple to be a bit more mindful about the way we enjoy the foods we eat. Choose one new idea and before long it might just become a habit! Thank you Produce for Kids for the great recipes!

My Wingman Sports

Are you ready for some football!?! Or how about tailgating and hanging out with friends? It doesn't really matter  because the MY WINGMAN is such a fun idea you'll be looking for excuses to take yours anywhere and everywhere.

The awesome peeps over at BASEMENT DAD SPORTS recently sent me one of my very own and I am in love with my "new guy". He's about 3 feet tall and has big strong arms to hold things like beverages and a tray for yummy snacks. John will be  loading up the car for a weekend football trip with his buddies and cannot wait to show it off. Hmmm... I can't help but wonder if he will have a seat to himself and be buckled in or will John put him in the trunk for the drive? Either way the My Wingman is sturdy enough to travel well.  Oh look! It's been rainy and gloomy here so looks like John went to read by the pool and take it for a test run. I didn't know guy's read by the pool (hehe) but whatever floats your boat. As you can see we're representing University of Florida here.

Oh lookie here too! It's me! You KNOW I had to go there, all jammied up and doing my nails. Just think, the possibilities are endless. Of course My Wingman was created with football in mind but I love thinking outside the box. What guy (or gal) wouldn't LOVE having they're very own to show off. Don't forget about the college students either. Perfect for dorm rooms and reprerenting they're favorite team.

Isn't My Wingman such an awesome idea? What a fantastic gift this would be!

The timing couldn’t be better to bring to market this fun and innovative ultimate fan accessory for tailgating parties, fan caves, dorms, homes and offices everywhere.

The My Wingman™ product is an idea inspired by the unmet needs of avid sports fans to display their passion for their team while providing support for their food and beverages. It is the first in a series of My Wingman ™ products planned by Basement Dad Sports ™ and will soon be the “must have” tailgating accessory for all true sports fans.

Ken is a proud native of the great state of Massachusetts and has had a passion for sports his entire life; playing virtually every major sport throughout high school and college. He’s an avid marathon runner and has completed more than thirty marathons, including the Boston Marathon seven times. His newest passion is surfing the beautiful breaks of Southern California. He did his undergraduate at West Point (Beat Navy!) and completed his Masters at USC (Fight on!).

Company Overview

One morning more than 75 years ago, Armor Frey placed some bottles of milk from his dairy on Turkey Hill into the backseat of his touring sedan and set off to sell them to his neighbors. It was the Great Depression and every penny helped. Slowly, Armor's route grew, until one day his "extra milk" business became his only business. Today the "little" dairy on Turkey Hill sells its milk, drinks, and ice cream in all parts of the United States, making it one of the country's leading producers of dairy products and refreshing drinks.

Animal Print Cocktail Dresses

When the holidays roll around, you know the festive dresses and colorful sweaters are about to come out of the closet. You will start receiving invitations to holiday parties, and you will feel the need to wear something spectacular in order to stand out from the crowd. This is often difficult considering the extremes many will go to in order to look their best for the holidays, but there are three things you can do to stand out.

Do something unexpected with your hair. Whatever you normally do with your locks, it is time to take your look in a new direction. You don't have to dye it purple or chop it all off. This is more about doing something out of the norm for you personally rather than doing something out of the norm in general.
Wear an unexpected dress. Instead of red or green, what about an animal print cocktail dress or a silver dress that sparkles and shines when you walk into the room? These dresses take confidence to pull off, so make sure you have it in you before you slip it on and walk out of your home.
Dress it up down to the toes. Rather than wearing your favorite pair of heels, pick shoes that will stand out regardless of what dress you put on. Look for unusual heel designs, dangling charms, or top fashion designers with just-released hot styles.

You want to entertain and please everyone who looks at you this holiday season. From the glimmer of happiness in your eye to the exquisite design of your shoes, make sure every element of your look counts.

Crack Hair Fix Giveaway! 10 Winners!

Here it is gang! Welcome to the Crack Hair Fix Giveaway! I was recently sent this product to try along with one of they're awesome round brushes.  I have to say....I love my Crack! Just take a look at how smooth and super shiny my hair is.

I loved how easy peasy Crack Hair Fix was to use along with the smell.  All you do is gently towel dry your hair after you shampoo and then apply to your fingertips and palms and work into your hair. The amount will vary depending in the length and thickness of your hair. I started off with the suggested pea to dime size amount and then used just a tad more. Work it through your hair or use it as an excuse for someone special to give you a head massage (hehe). Comb through and voila! I actually let my hair air dry and did not blow dry.

Air Brush Makeup

As airbrush makeup systems have gotten more popular, many people are wondering if they really produce these flawless faces with sheer, nearly invisible cover up. However, air brush for make up purposes isn't just for foundation and cover up. Airbrush makeup kits actually work for all parts of the face and body. Makeup artists have been using airbrush guns for many years to give flawless coverage to their clients. These are just some tips from professionals on how to get your technique down and keep your airbrush gun clean. With proper maintenance, these makeup kits last for many years.

The first thing you should do is get out a sheet of white paper and test your airbrush gun with a little bit of makeup. You'll be able to see the flow and intensity of each stroke that you make. You'll notice that it's important for you to keep your hand steady and constantly move. Most people find that moving slowly offers them the best coverage. You can also use the airbrush to cover pimples and smaller areas by just dotting and blending.

In addition, you want to pick the right airbrush makeup formula. There are water-based, silicone-based and alcohol-based products. Water-based are the best types of makeups for light wear and sensitive skin. Silicone-based are for those who need coverage that stays on throughout the day and night meaning it will resist sweater and water. Alcohol-based airbrush makeups really shouldn't be used by anyone not familiar with the product because it's flammable and potentially dangerous.

Beautiful Diamond Rings

Tell her you'd marry her all over again by presenting her with a beautiful moissanite anniversary ring this year. Moissanite looks just like diamond, only better and more brilliant as it has more reflective properties that reflect all the colors of the spectrum in all directions. This natural, non-synthetic material is a great alternative to diamonds because it looks great and is very durable, strong, chip-resistant, scratch-resistant, and abrasion-resistant. Also, it happens to be less expensive than diamonds. Using a process developed by Charles and Colvard from Moissanite.com, the natural material is found in the earth and grown in labs into beautiful and sparkly gems that have diamond-like qualities. Naturally-occurring moissanite is very rare and is actually found in extreme environments like upper mantle rock and meteorites.
