On January 14, 2012 I married the love of my life. All of the stress and planning seemed worth it when I was holding his hands and pledging to love him always in front of my friends and family.
After our amazing wedding we went to NYC for our honeymoon. I could go on for hours about the sites and shopping, but this is a food blog after all.
Our first day in NYC we went to Carlo's bakery in Hoboken, NJ. I got myself a "birthday cake" which was actually tiramisu surrounded by lady fingers. Along with cannolis, a carrot cake cupcake, and a couple of other pastries. Over the next few days we had Italian, Brazilian, Japanese, and of course NY Pizza.
We were staying right on the edge of Korea Town and got breakfast at a little Korean shop selling American food (bagels, eggs, bacon) and Asian tea. One morning I got an onion bagel along with a taro bubble tea. Bubble tea is an Asian milk tea with tapioca balls. It comes hot, cold or frozen. Bubble tea is one of my favorite drinks and something I have never tried to make before. Below is a recipe I am going to try from food network. Here's hoping it goes well!
Bubble Tea
Directions
Cook 1 1/2 cups large black tapioca in boiling water, 6 minutes; cover and let sit off the heat, 30 minutes. Bring 1 cup each water and sugar to a boil; transfer to a bowl. Drain the tapioca and soak in the sugar syrup. To serve, put 1/4 cup tapioca in a glass. Shake 1 cup cold green tea, 3 tablespoons soaking syrup, 1/4 cup milk and 1 tablespoon sugar with ice; pour over the tapioca.
After returning home from a wonderful week in NYC and realizing I had very little food in the house a quick easy dinner was in store. First on the list was baked Mahi Mahi. Few recipes are as quick and easy to prepare as baked fish.
Citrus Mahi Mahi
Ingredients
2 Mahi filet
1 lemon
1 orange
2 Tbls olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsps lemon pepper seasoning
lemon juice
salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Place each fillet on two separate pieces of tin foil. Pour 1 Tbl of oil on each of the fillets and season with 1 tsp lemon pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and salt to taste. Thinly slice 1/2 of the lemon and place on top of the fish. Squeeze the other half of the lemon onto the fish. Top the fish with one large slice of orange. Wrap the tin foil around each fillet to form a package and place in a baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes or until the fish is white a pulls apart easily with a fork.
I used fresh fish but frozen fish can be substituted and cooked for a longer amount of time.
I served the fish with pre-made broccoli salad and a packaged pasta side. This meal is simple, healthy, and delicious. Great for when you don't have much time to prep a meal.
