Grilled Chicken w/Linguine and Alfredo sauce

Hello my lovelies, I have to get this out of the way...It is cold as heck in NYC and I am not happy about it. Didn't the darn Pope take away my sunshine and warmth? OMG!

I had to scramble in my drawers looking for some socks.

Anyway I shouldn't whine about it I'm a Fall baby so sometimes this does happen. I had baby #2 (my grandma) duties the other night which btw her new meds combo seems to be working 6 nights in a row sleeping well yippy!!! some drinks this weekend for sure and I had left some pieces of chicken out just in case I would have to be quick in the kitchen, which I ended up having to be. I grabbed a few things and here you have it.

It's my favorite time of year and I'm using 

my favorite kitchen tool my George Foreman Evolve Grill.

Thursday's treat, Salmon & Sweet Corn with Tomatoes Grill Fest!

Ingredients:
-salmon
-can of sweet corn
-plum tomatoes
-pepper
-basil
-salt
-olive oil
-balsamic vinegar

For apartment living this gadget is an awesome tool. One of my fondest memories of nicer times with my family was watching my mom preparing foods to cook in that metal grill everyone dragged out of their apartment closets in the summertime. The joy in her face, she loved to grill all sorts of stuff. Think of her and those yummy meals bought me to this. 

Mix 1/4 tsp of pepper and 1/4 tsp of salt in a bowl add drained can of corn. Spray Pam on grill plates heat for 5 minutes. Spread corn evenly on plate increase time to 15 minutes at 300 degrees.

While that's on the grill take 1/2 pint of plum tomatoes, wash and cut in halves. In a bowl mix 2 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tbsp of basil. Add the tomatoes.

Season your Salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp pepper and 1/4 tsp salt mix place pieces on grill at 300 degrees for 12 minutes.

Place cooked Salmon on a dish spoon the corn and tomatoes on top serve with a green salad on the side I choose Kale delish! 

Happy eats enjoy!

Grilled Tilapia with Sweet Peppers Salad

Hey everyone so I am officially head over heels for my George Foreman Evolve Grill.

I got it over the holidays as a treat for myself and as a replacement of the last one that I used till it died on me.

This is one of those kitchen must have gadgets for sure and if you want to go the healthy eating route go grab one of these! No this is not a paid endorsement, I purchased this with my own money but I love this gadget so much I just wanted to share.

Anyway every chance I get to use it I am on it. Over the weekend I bought a bag of Tilapia fillets and separated them in sandwich bags to make several meals during the month.

The night before last I decided to make a few pieces grilled so yesterday morning before work I left a bag out.
