Bachelor Food!

Haha, I'll swap the velveeta for some olive oil and parmesan cheese, but that does look quite good, and tuna doesn't have to be cooked, which is a big plus with me! :D
 
Wow. I couldn't live without it. I eat it right outta the can. I have at least one can a day.

GAH, I do like canned tuna, but I could never have it without a hearty helping of light mayo mixed in and between a pair of slices of whole wheat bread. And it's not good to eat it daily dude, I always used to because it was so convenient, but after reading about some actress (forgot who) who has memory lapses and concentration problems resulting from mercury poisoning resulting from excessive tuna consumption, I stick with white meat for my sammich meat and only occasionally bust out a can of Albacore (Jeff, while I agree tuna takes some getting used to, one thing I should mention is white albacore is what I love, and it's a lot more mild than red tuna BLECCHHH).
 
Well, I thought I'd bump this thread, cuz my New Year's resolution was to start eating stuff other than microwaved eggs and sandwiches - and as of tonight, mission accomplished! My Mom gave me the lowdown for her particular variety of chicken stir-fry, and DAMN did this rule. Behold...

All organic and fresh veggies and meat, and the minced yellow stuff on the small plate is ginger, which is fucking AWESOME in a stir-fry (along with the peanut oil). Obviously I used Soy sauce as well, just not pictured ;) And the finished product...

Tasted great, though I didn't cook the veggies enough, so they were too crisp (and also, too much chicken). Oh well, a learning process, and at least I didn't epically fail!

By the way Mark, I wanted to clarify - you say to rub the chicken in olive oil, THEN wrap it in aluminum foil and let it sit for 10 minutes? That makes it easier to cut I guess? Cuz fuck was this annoying, little squirmy bastards...
 
No such thing as too much chicken.


here's one by one of my favorite diet docs.


Seared Tuna with Soy Wasabi Glaze

Makes 4 Servings

• 4 6 oz. fresh Ahi tuna steaks, about 3/4-inch thick

• vegetable oil

• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 8 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter

• 3 green onions, thinly sliced

• 1-2 Tbsp. fresh lime or lemon juice

• 3 Tbsp. soy sauce

• 1-2 Tbsp. prepared wasabi

Brush tuna steaks on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Combine the butter, onion, lime juice, soy sauce and wasabi in a small pan.Heat a heavy, nonstick frying pan over high heat. Place the tuna in the pan and sear until crispy and brown. Turn over and sear the other side. Be careful not to overcook the tuna. It’s best rare to medium rare. While the tuna is cooking, heat the butter mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and emulsified. Serve the tuna immediately, drenched with the sauce.

HAhahaha, I'm really glad you added in the "makes 4 servings part" - knowing you bodybuilding types, I can never be sure! :hypno: Sounds good dude, though ~2 tbsp. of butter per person might be a bit much...
 
Hmm, nothing yet, you're looking at the first meal I've ever cooked :) Still, lentils aren't meat, so that's kind of an instant pass there, unless they can be incorporated into a meat dish - suggestions are welcome!

Yeah, I just sub in some sort of Smart Balance or any other substitute and I generally don't use as much becuase I don't like butter anyway.
