Slammin' Salmon

Slammin' Salmon

1/2 lb. salmon
3 tbsp. Lawry Lemon Pepper Marinade
1/2 cup frozen vegetables

Select a salmon fillet according to your current socio-environmental ideals. Place it in a ziploc bag and add one half of the given quantity of marinade. Marinate in the fridge for 30+ minutes. Preheat the oven to 350º. Use a microwave to unfreeze the vegetables. Wrap the fully marinated salmon in tinfoil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Stir-fry the vegetables in oil. Place the salmon and vegetables together on a plate and drizzle on the remaining quantity of marinade. This light and summery meal was inspired by numerous trips to the IKEA cafeteria.

Basic Nachos

Basic Nachos

6-8 oz chips
3 oz shredded cheese

Perhaps the king of junk food, nachos have been around since the institution of spectator sports. Set the chips evenly upon a plate and sprinkle the cheese upon them, giving each chip equal care and attention. Microwave for 20 seconds on HIGH, or until the cheese is fully melted. For extra kickiness, add some spices from your cabinet - and for fun surprises, don't look at the labels of your spices until after you put them on your nachos.

Mister Sandwich

Mister Sandwich

1/2 hass avocado
1 Boca Flame Grilled Meatless Burger pattie
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 oz artichoke hearts
2 slices bread

Microwave the burger pattie on HIGH for 1.5 minutes. Meanwhile, render the avocado into flat slices. Place the heated pattie on a bread slice and the artichoke leaves on the other slice. Sprinkle the cheese evenly upon the pattie and artichoke and microwave for 30 seconds, or enough to melt the cheese. Set the artichokes upon the cheese in a balanced manner, and close the sandwich. The admittedly confused combination of elements in this sandwich operate in surprising harmony with one another. If you are at a loss as to what to do with your remaining avocado half, simply throw it out.

The Vacationer's Breakfast

The Vacationer's Breakfast

2 slices bread
2 eggs
2 slices American cheese
1/2 cup fresh fruit
1/4 cup milk

While we here at JA's Three Minute Kitchen take occasional vacations, we never take vacations from preparing exciting meals. Toast the bread in the standard manner. Break the eggs into a modestly sized bowl and stir them vigorously with the milk until an even, goopy consistency is achieved. Butter a frying pan and pour the egg/milk mixture into it. When bubbles begin to form upon its surface and its edges become delicately crisped, break up the slices of cheese and distribute them evenly upon one half of the egg/milk disc. Using a spatula, flip the un-cheesed side of the egg/milk disc onto the cheesed side, creating a half circle. Continue to fry until the cheese has melted. To prepare the fruit, simply find a bowl of fruit in the fridge that someone else has already cut up and portion yourself a serving. This hearty breakfast is best served after a vigorous swim in the beastly Atlantic.

Vaguely Asian Peanut Tofu Pasta

Vaguely Asian Peanut Tofu Pasta

4 oz Trader Joe's spinach linguine
3 oz frozen mixed vegetables
24 cubic inches tofu
3 tsp Asian Gourmet™ Thai Peanut Sauce

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil and add the vegetables and pasta. Meanwhile, slice the tofu into bite-sized tofu-units and fry these in a frying pan with a reasonable amount of vegetable oil. When you feel that the pasta and vegetables are fully cooked to your satisfaction, strain with a colander and add them to the tofu. Lower the heat and stir in peanut sauce. Serve in a bowl or dish. This is a fun and healthy meal which does not compromise on flavor, due to the spiciness of the Asian Gourmet™ Thai Peanut Sauce, as well as its high sodium and saturated fat levels.
