Dinner Tonight

Tonight I am making it an EASY dinner night. Easy doesn't mean going through a drive thru, however. One of my favorite places to shop (in case you hadn't noticed) is Trader Joe's. If you don't have a Trader Joe's where you live, you should still be able to find a substitute for the items.


Tempura Prawns
Steamed Broccoli
Mango Salad
Iced Green Tea


Tempura Prawns
These are very EASY. I buy a package of frozen prwans from Trader Joes in th efrozen fish section. Heat olive oil in a pan - and follow cook time on package. If you like, you can also bake these. I think frying them in a little olive oil gives the batter a better taste. Serve with lemon wedges and cocktail sauce.

Mango Salad
  • 2 cups cubed fresh mango
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes- cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

In a medium bowl, combine mango, tomatoes, onion, lime juice, and cumin. Toss to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving to allow it to chill.

Have a wonderful dinner! See you tomorrow!
