Introducing...the George Forman Grill!!!

So today, in anticipation of my move to New York, I bought myself a George Forman Grill to help expedite the time it takes for me to cook my meals. Plus, it's supposed to facilitate healthy cooking, so I decided to figure out what all the fuss was about. And I must say, I am in love with this gizmo.

The first meal I cooked with my George Forman Grill is: STEAK!!!

1) Remember, the first thing you want to do is drizzle some olive oil on the raw steaks and then sprinkle a generous amount of salt and pepper over the steaks. Then, rub them all over the steaks with your hands.

2) While you're doing that, preheat the George Forman Grill. Set it to its "MAX" setting, and once the yellow light goes off, then the grill is ready for use.

3) Place the steaks on the grill like a boss!

4) What I love about this grill is that it has this "patented slope" that allows all the grease to slope down and collect into a container.

* it's hard to see...but look at all that grease! GROOOSSS!!!

5) Allow the steaks to grill for about 6-10 minutes. Because the steaks were thin, I let them grill for 8 minutes.

6) After the steaks are done cooking, you're done! Woohooo!

* these are sooo delicious...and beautiful!

But wait...there's more! Seeing as I'm an always hungry boy, I decided to make some potato wedges!

* Remember...the brand I use is "Alexia"

1) Remove the contents from the bag and spread them out over the baking sheet. Then, place them into the oven for the amount of time stated on the back of the bag.

2) Remove the wedges from the oven...and guess what? That's it! Super duper easy!

* this is the finished product. soooo delicious!

Well, that's it for today. Stay tuned for what other exciting creations I come up with using the George Forman Grill

Quick and Easy Shrimp!

Howdy folks. I'm in a really good mood today...because I just won the Stanley Cup on NHL '12 for xbox! To celebrate my amazing feat, I've decided to make a new post! Today's dish is all about speed and efficiency....

QUICK AND EASY SHRIMP!!! 

Ingredients: 

Gorton's frozen grilled shrimp (their shrimp scampi is very good too)


1) This is the most complicated step. Follow package instructions.

2) Voila! It's done! Now to kick it up a notch, serve the shrimp with a bed of stir-fried (with garlic) Romaine Lettuce!!!

See? Simple, quick, efficient meals that take 10 minutes to cook. The best part is that it also tastes delicious. And I get my fiber and protein AND cholestrol intake for the day.

Yippee!!!!!

Spaghetti....evan-style!

Howdy folks! It's been awhile since I last updated this blog...so I do apologize. So what better way to make up for my indiscretions...than with a totally new blog? Yep...it's a brand spanking new blog, dedicated to the awesomeness that is spaghetti.

Ingredients: 

knock wurst and brat wurst chopped up in chunks, chopped up onion slices, 1lb fettuccine and roasted garlic spaghetti sauce, all from whole foods

cherry tomatoes for those who like them (I don't) and chopped scallions or leek

And now...for the exciting part:

1) Prepare fettuccine Al Dente as per package directions. Pasta cooked Al Dente means that its texture will be "firm but not hard." hehehe.... Meanwhile sautée the knock-bratwursts.

2) Drain fettuccine when ready and reserve for use

3) Sautée onions, garlic and tomatoes like a boss.

4) When the tomatoes are about to burst, add in the fettuccine. In addition, also add white wine.

* I use whatever I can find in the fridge...so today, I used this:

5) Then, add a tad of chicken broth to your concoction and finally stir in the knock-brat mixture. Toss until everything is all mixed up. Then, top it off with green onion!

 6) You're done! This is the final product:

Not gonna lie....this tastes amazing. I'm such a genius...and master of the kitchen! :) Till next time...
