Tuna Poke Bowls


If I were giving you a highlight real of dinners we love,
Tuna Poke Bowls would absolutely make the cut. Everyone loves these, and there are never leftovers.
The only planning needed for this dinner is to make sure you take your fish out of the freezer.
Being one of our favorite meals, we have tried poke bowls with a variety of toppings, and different proteins. Having tried so many variations, some voluntary, others because we were out of key ingredients; this one here is the most flavorful, colorful, and delicious version of poke bowls we have created.



Tuna Poke Bowls

tuna steaks - 1 per person
Everything but the bagel seasoning
Olive Oil
2 C White Basmati Rice
2 C Brown Basmati Rice
1 Cucumber, chopped
1 C Tomatoes, chopped
3 Green Onions, chopped
1/4 Red Onion, thinly sliced
3 Avocados sliced
Lime, cut in wedges 
Chili Lime Seasoning
Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce - recipe follows
Mango Sauce - recipe follows


Cook rice according to directions. 
Rinse and pat dry each tuna steak.  Coat with Olive Oil and sprinkle Bagel Seasoning on both sides.
Prepare Cucumber, tomatoes, green onion, red onion, and Lime. Set Aside. Amounts may vary depending on your family's preferences. 
On a hot grill, cook tuna steaks about 90 seconds on each side. You want a slight crust to form on the outside layer leaving the inside rare.
Spoon rice into a bowl, adding cucumber, tomatoes, and onions. Place tuna steak in the center. Spoon sauces onto tuna and rice, sprinkle with Chili Lime Seasoning, and a squeeze of fresh lime.

Mango Sauce

1/2 bag frozen mango, or 3 fresh mangos, chopped
Juice of 1 Lime
1 C water 
Sugar - 1-4 T depending on how sweet your mangos are

Place all ingredients in a blender and puree on High until smooth. Taste as you go to determine the amount of sugar and water needed.

Creamy Cilantro Sauce

Creamy Cilantro Sauce - thank you! Mel from Mel's Kitchen Cafe
I have also made Mel's recipe substituting Trader Joes Cilantro Dressing for the salsa verde

Swedish Shortbread

  Swedish Shortbread My mom has made these every Christmas that I can remember. Her's are always shaped perfectly and turn out every time. Mine, not so much. In fact last year, my dough was too warm when I baked them so they came out of the oven like melted snowmen. But I keep trying and remember that baking requires a healthy dose of patience. This year, my Swedish shortbread turned out much better. Ingredients 1 C Butter, softened 1/2 C + 2 T sugar 2 C flour Mix well till dough is consistency of play dough. Divide into four sections, Shape into small oval logs, refrigerate 20 minutes. Roll each log to 2-3" wide. With your thumb, make well down center of each piece.  Fill with raspberry jam. Bake at 325 degrees 15 minutes till light brown around edges. Glaze & Cut while still warm. Glaze 1 C Powder Sugar 1 t almond flavor 2-3 t water Mix well to drizzling consistency, adding water 1 teaspoon at a time.

Faux Chihuly

A Faux Chihuly and what Pigs have to do with Valentines Day Let's start with the later.   Pigs have nothing to do with Valentine's Day. But when you go for your box of said holiday decorations and find a pink pig in the process.   Pig + Pink = handy dash of love color. Certainly, not every holiday calls for full-fledged trims & decorations.  But a handful (and by handful I mean 6) of touches in your living space will make your kids smile; and that is a worthy goal. So there sits the pig, on the kitchen shelf with a card I saved from years ago, and a darling print out. On the opposite side, I've used my red heart-shaped cocotte, and a watercolor I snagged from E.M.H.'s early years. That's it -  a few items that give a charming holiday spirit to my earth tone shelves. Now for the former. A number of years ago I snagged these leftover glass ornaments at a boutique.  I never intended to use them for my Chri...

22 Dinner Menus

We are into week 10 of Coronacation and here in North Georgia, we have been eating very well for all 10 weeks. In spite of the meager selections of certain grocery store shelves, we have not been left wanting for anything. And the baking. Intentions of sharing warm goodies with neighbors led quickly to doubling or tripling my recipes so no one would feel short-handed in our own house and we could also deliver little packages of sugared happiness. Back in March when all my mice began their at-home schedule I recorded the dinners we were having. I ended up with a list of 22 dinner menus. Of the 22, there was a mix of new recipes and family favorites. Some of the dinners have been repeated, but each one has been tested and approved. So, with the Memorial Weekend coming up, maybe you need some fresh ideas. I hope you have a picnic planned. Even if it's in your own backyard, even if it's just with the loved ones under your own roof. Either way, take a moment to plan some ...
