Crispy Cod w/ Zucchini & Peppers Orzo

"OMG - THE ENTIRE MEAL WAS WONDERFUL!!!!  The fish was perfect (loved the sauce), the orzo was to die for (I could have eaten the entire container) and the garlic bread - what can I say delicious (I'll start grilling mine from now on).  Fantastic meal!!!" - Karen


"Just wanted to let you know Monday's dinner was delicious!  Everything was so good, I will definitely be ordering it again. " -Felecia
 
 

I really can't tell you what I like most about this dinner.  It could be the crunchy yet soft grilled garlic bread, the rich orzo with sweet veggies or the meaty panko & herb cod fillet that would make it easy for anyone to give up eating meat. I actually ate all my garlic bread and was half way through the orzo before I realized there was more dinner to enjoy.  You will be pleasantly surprised to know this entire dinner is butter free.  Only olive oil was used.

THURSDAY

Crispy Ginger Fish w/ Rice Noodles

*$2/25 or 4/$45*

"This is mine and Irene's favorite!" - Hilda

  I make this for a lot of our family gatherings (especially the Asian ones).  Yes, it's a whole fish, with bones and all!  If you've never tried eating fish on the bones, you definitely need to start with this.  The fish is rubbed with garlic and ginger and fried til nice and crispy.  To serve, just take a knife and lift at the two cut slits and pull apart from the bones. Place fish on top of rice noodles, salad and drizzle on some fish sauce.  
(If you're absolutely terrified of the fish head, just let me know and I'd be glad to remove it prior to packing!) 

To Reheat:  You can either bake it at 375 til crispy or do a quick broil for a few minutes.

If you're not a fan of pork, this dish might just turn you into a pork lover. It is pure torture to be in the same room while this is slow cooking for 5 hours! The pork is incredibly tender, juicy and massively savory. It goes perfectly with the Garlic Rice. And finally, to top it off are 2 sauces that totally compliment each other: Spicy Cilantro and Sweet Garlic Ranch, which you can also use for your salad dressing!

MONDAY




Lemongrass Chicken w/ Steamed Rice & Veggie Stir Fry

"Dinner was yummy! Everyone else missed out!" - Nicole

Get ready for a fantastic fantastic treat.  This is old school lemongrass chicken.  You may have a hard time finding this at restaurants.  Skinless chicken thighs are deboned then cooked with the bones, carmelized onions, garlic and lemongrass until it looks like what you see in the pic- a sweet, savory pot of tender chicken sitting in a sauce that I call liquid gold.  You will want to pour it all over your rice it's so good.  This is a dinner I can guarantee you will not have any leftovers.   


TUESDAY

If you're a fan of those yummy sticky cinnamon buns, you are in for a treat!  Just replace the bun with a piece of salmon and you can still get the same sweet and crunchy topping without the obscene calories. The salmon is coated with honey and pecans then pan seared. This goes beautifully with the cinnamon sweet potatoes and sauteed broccoli.

night so I could have lunch today!" -  Irene

"The Peruvian Chicken last night was delicious!!!  My mom, my husband and I enjoyed it very much last night.  Can't wait to have the left over for lunch today. YUM!!!" - Irene


First, let me warn you, this is a lot of food!  I don't make this often, but I always look forward to it when I do.  This is just one way I'd like to show my appreciation for all my customers.  One whole chicken marinated in a smoky cumin sauce then slow roasted. Just go ahead and put away your forks. The best way to eat this is to rip apart the meat with your hands, then dip it in either the Sweet Ranch or the Cilantro Sauce. Follow up with a sweet piece of plantain.and the rich and savory garlic rice.  When I serve this to my family, I place the salad on the bottom of the rice and pour some sauce over it.  You will love the variety of flavors working so well together!
