Tonight I made it with a pineapple teriyaki glaze with rice and corn.

I want to try this one next:

Hawaiian Fish with Pineapple

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) mahi mahi fillets
2 cups lemon juice
dried thyme to taste
dried basil to taste
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1/2 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.

2. Arrange the mahi mahi fillets in the prepared baking pan. Pour lemon juice over the fillets, and sprinkle with thyme and basil. Top each fillet with pineapple. Pour milk into the pan, not directly on the fish.

3. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Now if I had a girl, I think it would be fun to try and make a dress. I am itching to sew some sort of clothing item. I am going to go check out some patterns for a sundress tomorrow, and hoping to find some cute fabric that won’t cost to much.

Pop tarts

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
1/4 cup strawberry jam, divided
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon colored decorating sugar, or as needed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Unroll the pie crusts, place on a lightly floured work surface, and roll the crusts slightly with a rolling pin to square the edges. Cut each crust into 8 equal-sized rectangles. Place about 2 teaspoons of strawberry jam in the center of 8 squares, and spread the jam out to within 1/4 inch of the edge of the pastry square. Top each with another pastry square, and use a fork to crimp the squares together, sealing in the jam. Use a knife to trim the pastries, if desired. Move the filled pastries to the prepared baking sheets.

3. Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are lightly golden brown, about 7 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheets. Meanwhile, stir together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl to make a spreadable frosting. Spread the cooled tarts with frosting and sprinkle with colored sugar.

In doing this for him (them), he is going to to look into things for me, that he keeps putting off. Like term life insurance, health insurance, and if the pay will be more for him. I hate how men leave things like this until the last possible second! He has me on pins and needles!

So I guess I will be adding another new hobby to my list…. making websites. I know I can set up a blog, but not to sure on the website. I will give it a try though! It will save them some money in the long run, if I can indeed do this for him!.

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
6 string cheese sticks
6 slices ham
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
toothpicks

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Lay out the pounded chicken breasts on a clean surface. Place a slice of ham on each piece, then one stick of cheese. Roll the chicken up around the cheese and ham, and secure with toothpicks. Dip each roll in melted butter, then roll in bread crumbs. Place in a shallow baking dish.

3. Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken is browned and juices run clear.

I could also use it for any items I sell. In the long run it would pay for itself. Plus it would be a tax write off. You know me, I save every receipt and find one way or another to write it off!

Ingredients

3 cups sliced fresh peaches
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch square baking dish.

2. Place sliced peaches in prepared baking dish. Mix together 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and almond extract. Place in oven while preparing shortcake (heating peaches first helps prevent dough from getting soggy).

3. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and egg; stir just until flour is moistened. Spread over hot peaches. Sprinkle top with remaining sugar.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until top is golden brown.
