Mini Breakfast Sliders!

I found this recipe on Hungry-girl.com I will probably be posting a lot of her recipes because they are healthy & usually make one serving(YAY!)

Mini Breakfast Sliders!!



Ingredients:
1 Arnold Select/Oroweat Sandwich Thins
1 slice fat-free American cheese
1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
3 slices (about 2 oz.) Canadian bacon

Directions:
1. Slice roll into three wedges. (Picture a clock. Cut at 12, 4, and 8.) Separate the top and bottom pieces and set aside. Cut cheese into thirds in the same way and set aside.
2. Bring a medium skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add egg substitute and tilt skillet so the egg substitute coats the bottom, creating an egg pancake. Without stirring, cook until solid enough to flip, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until firm, about 1 minute. Remove and, once cool enough to handle, slice into three large wedges. Set aside.
3. Lay Canadian bacon slices flat in the skillet, and cook until lightly browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
4. Assemble each little slider however makes you happy, I did mine: bottom sammy half, folded up egg(it doesn't have to be perfect!), cheese, canadian bacon(I also folded this in half), and top sammy half. YUM YUM YUM!!!

Grilled Halibut

Grilled Halibut Fillets

Serves 2

Marinade
6T olive oil
1T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1tsp dried basil
1tsp ground black pepper
1tsp dried dill weed
3/4tsp sea salt
1 clove garlic, minced
2 6oz halibut fillets

Directions
1) In a quart-sized ziplock bag, combine olive oil, lemon juice, basil, pepper, dill, salt, & garlic.
2) Add halibut fillets. Seal & refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
3) Preheat your grill, since my hubby is gone I used our George Foreman Grill. If you're using a regular grill follow whatever instructions for grilling fish that you normally do...(see, I'm helpful!) IF you are using your Foreman grill place your fillets on the grill, close the lid & let it go for about 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillet. Basically, you want to be able to easily flake it with a fork in the thickest part. If you are using an outdoor grill, you'll want to grill it for about 5 minutes on each side.

My goodness!

Ok I know that I haven't blogged in over a month here are my reasons why:
1. we started packing around the time of my last post
2. we moved into the world's tiniest apartment(seriously it is 388 sq feet)
3. my hubby has gone to Texas for AF training so he will be gone until at least Sept. and cooking for 1 isn't fun or easy so I have totally been slacking!

So my blog might be changing for the time being, hence why I changed my title from "My not-so-fancy food blog" to "Frugally Fancy" because that is how I am feeling lately.

I might be a complain-a-saurus Lex for a while because I do miss my husband and I kind of miss cooking real food. BUT last night I did grill some halibut so I'll put that recipe up. Oh and I also re-started P90x so I'll probably be griping about how sore I am. Like today, I am SOOOOO SORE!!! I did a whopping 20 min of ploymetrics and almost died. Thank the heavens that tonight's workout is for arms, otherwise I might have just gotten home, popped in the dvd, started crying, stopped the dvd & opened the bottle of wine that is in my fridge and drank dinner while snacking on the brie that I keep forgetting about...
