Dude Food 1

I have always thought it funny that guys will eat anything. Some of the combinations of food I have put together of the years would make Megan queezy just by discription alone. I consider many foods universal like crepes, peanut butter, and cheese but my favorite universal food is eggs. You can add an egg to pretty much anything savory and make it better. However as iI grow older and wiser, my palate has improved, who knew I would ever like mushrooms? I have now started really venturing into creating recipies of my own. You should never be afraid to trying something new, the worst that can happen is you throw it out and go grab a burger. Below is the first installation of my new current favorites... Andy's Dude Food. Try them out, they are very simple, healthy,  and Im still alive to tell the tale.

Andy’s Mushroom Soup

1 wax box of chicken broth, low sodium works well

1 can of cream of mushroom or low fat cream of chicken

1 container of baby portabella mushrooms, sliced

Dump it all into a pot, bring it to a boil, cover and simmer for an hour-ish. Delicious!

Andy’s Chick Peas

1 can of chick peas, drained and rinsed once

Garlic powder

Chili powder

Black pepper

Touch of salt

Combine all that together in a bowl and mix to taste. I like them cold on salads, heated up in a skillet with eggs, or as a side. Can substitute the above spices for taco seasoning as well, very good.

Andy’s Fish and Veg

Pollack Fillets or other white fish

Leeks

Portabella Mushrooms

Olive oil

Your choice or seasoning (Taco, Old World, Lemon Pepper)

Salt and Pepper

Preheat oven to 375. Defrost fillets by sealing them in a ziplock bag and then submerging them in warm water. Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Rinse the thawed fillets under cold water and pat dry. Chop up the mushrooms and leeks. Toss in a bowl and sprinkle with oil and seasoning. Place fillet on the prepared baking sheet and season. Cover the fillet with the veggies and bake for 15-20 minutes, until flakey.
