Breakfast Baked Chicken Casserole

Preparing easy chicken recipes for your children helps them generally have higher energy levels and are more prepared for studying and learning than those who skip breakfast. So you will have to be careful with cooking breakfast for your kids. There are plenty of easy recipes anyway and it’s alright to be picky.

Harvard researchers found in a study that students who ate breakfast are significantly more attentive in the classroom, scored higher grades in mathematics, and had fewer emotional and behavioral problems.

Pan Seared Swordfish with White Wine

A highly popular food fish, swordfish have been caught since ancient times in the waters between Sicily and Calabria and is found in their fish recipes. This gave way to the Sicilian style of cooking swordfish, the most popular way of cooking swordfish in the area. 

In moderate quantities, swordfish is a great option to grill. Due to its huge size, it is usually available cut into steaks. Being a firm fish, it can be cooked in healthy food recipes that more delicately textured fish types of fish cannot. It can be popularly cut into chunks and skewered for seafood kebabs or pan seared into juicy, flavorful and healthy dishes.

This easy pan seared swordfish recipe is delicious and easy enough for beginners.

Seared Swordfish With White Wine

You will need a pair of one inch thick swordfish steaks, weighing six ounces each. Pat the fish dry and use salt and pepper to season it. Heat half a tablespoon of olive oil with a tablespoon of unsalted butter in a skillet over a medium to high heat, and then saute three finely sliced shallots with a little salt for a minute. Push them to the side of the pan and add the fish.

Saute it for three minutes, then turn it over and add quarter of a cup of dry white wine, a tablespoon of chopped capers, and a tablespoon of water. Simmer for three minutes or until the fish is cooked right through. Divide it between two serving plates.

Stir a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley leaves into the sauce and spoon it over the cooked fish. This is great served with potatoes, green beans, and perhaps a glass of lightly chilled Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Blanc on the side.

Seafood and Peanut Stew

Rather than spend a lot of time preparing gourmet recipes, or a traditional roast turkey with all its usual accompaniments, keep that for Thanksgiving this year and plan a spectacular seafood recipe instead. And apparently, that’s the very thing inside the mind of the inventor of “Seafood Kare-kare”, a traditional dish from the Philippines.

Traditionally, Kare-Kare is cooked with beef tripe, ox tail or leg. And uses freshly ground roasted peanuts and ground rice to make a thick and flavorful stew. 

Gladly, there are ready kare-kare mix now available in the market, so you wont have to do the grounding of peanuts and rice. If you're not fond of eating pork or beef meat and are a fan of easy recipes like stews, you can have seafoods as substitute in cooking Kare-Kare.
