Flounder with Peppers

It has been fun, rediscovering fish, other than the salmon, we love so much.  I still maintain, there is nothing close to the goodness of salmon but there are fish dishes that are tasty and filling.  This is from Bobby Flay and it was another fishy success.  I am no longer surprised when we like a fish meal.


Flounder with Peppers  (adapted)  2 servings

  • Olive oil, for sauteing
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1/2  orange bell pepper, cut in strips
  • 1/2 large green bell pepper, cut in strips
  • 4  tomatoes, diced 
  • handful of chives from our garden
  • 1/4 cup water
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons  oregano
  • 2 to 3 big leaves fresh basil
  • 2  medium flounder fillets
  • Garlic powder
  • Chopped parsley

Coat a large saute pan with oil.

Saute, over medium heat, onions  until they are translucent. Add bell peppers. Cook approx. 2 minutes. 

Then add tomatoes and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add oregano, parsley and basil. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, contents should be juicy.


Rinse fish in cold water. Season with a black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Separate ingredients in saute pan.

Push all solid ingredients to one side. 

Gently lay fish in hot liquid, try not to let fillets overlap. Cover. Cook 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of fillets.


When fillets become a milky white, they a done.

I can envision this with a little orange juice or orange zest.

    I've never made flounder before, but this looks good so I might have to try it!

    I usually trust Bobby Flay to come up with recipes that have good flavors. Hubby and I are big flounder fans, but, like crab, we like the flavor of the fish to come through, not the other ingredients. Just not sure I would like this, but am intrigued because it's Bobby Flay and I almost always like anything he does. I guess I better try it and see.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
