Apple Salad

Cut up an/some apple(s)

Sprinkle with sunflower seeds

Poppy seed dressing (optional--good without; probably better with)

I've been eating it almost every day.

Grandma Nielsen's Aeblerskivers

Mix together:

3 C flour

1 t baking powder

1 t baking soda

2 T sugar

1 1/2 t salk

3 C buttermilk

3 egg yolks

Fold in:

3 beaten egg whites

Heat cast iron aeblerskiver pan. Add a little oil to each cup--or spray. Put a T or a little more into each cup. Turn over with a fork when golden brown. You have to play with the heat, cooking time and the amount of oil/spray.

Serve with syrup, powdered sugar, jam or cinnamon sugar.

Mahi Mahi Marinade

3 T honey

3 T soy sauce

3 T blasamic vinegar

1 t fresh ginger

1 clove garlic (sliced)

2 t olive oil

4 mahi mahi steaks

salt and pepper to taste

1 T vegetable oil

I'd use less ginger next time

Tandoori Chicken (adapted from an Emeril Legasse recipe)

4 chicken breasts (tandoori usually calls for legs, but we always just have breasts in the freezer--Emeril called for a 4-412 lb. chicken cut into 8 pieces)

2 T vegetable oil

1/2 c chopped white onion

2 T chopped garlic (6-7 cloves)

1/2 t ground ginger (his calls for 2 T chopped fresh--don't always have that)

1/2-1 t chile powder (Emeril called for 1 t serrano or jalapeno chile, finely chopped--I didn't have it and most of the tandoori recipes I read called for chile powder and his didn't. It worked fine)

1 T paprika

1 1/2 t salt

3/4 t t ground cumin ( Emeril called for 1 t--I think it was too strong)

1 t turmeric

1 t ground coriander

1 t garam masala

1/2 t cayenne (I skipped that part)

1/2 C plain yogurt

1 T lemon juice

Blend all ingredients-except chicken and oil. Cut chicken into 1 inch slices (against the grain). Pour marinade over chicken and let sit in fridge for up to 4 hours--I did it just 30 minutes and it was good. Add oil to mix just before you cook and mix well. Cook on a grill pan on a medium high or high flame until just done or put on kabob skewers on the grill. (The skewers didn't work on the grill pan--couldn't get the end pieces to cook). If you use thighs or whole breasts, cut slices in the meat so that the marinate can penetrate better.

Super delish. We eat with basmati rice, pita bread, hummus, and raita--yogurt and cucumber sauce with herbs--parsley or mint or whatever herb you want.
