Sirloin Sliders

Summer is here. Lunch today: Sirloin sliders went on the grill while potato and carrot sticks went into the oven. Just toss some vegetables in olive oil and place in 450* oven for about 20 minutes. Build your sliders, I used cheddar cheese, jalapenos, spicy bbq sauce, and of course, onions. Enjoy drive-thru food at home. It is so much healthier and tastes better too!

Roasted Shrimp on Salad.

Start with raw, deveined shrimp. You can buy 16-20 count for about $6/ pound. Thaw by placing shrimp on a few paper towels in a covered bowl over night in the refrigerator. Peel your shrimp and remove tails by squeezing and pulling tails. Run under a quick rinse with cold water and place back on the paper towel. Pat dry. Place shrimp in a dry bowl and lightly drizzle with some olive oil. Toss with your hands so all shrimp is lightly wet. Season with your favorite rub or seasonings and place on warm cooking sheet in a 400* oven for 6-10 minutes. The shrimp is done when it turns pink and glassy. Let set for 3-5 minutes before placing on your salad.

Help change the American diet

You can vote to change the American diet, 3 times a day. Buy food from companies that treat workers, animals, and our environment with respect. Buy foods that are in season, locally grown organic foods and know the ingredients. Read labels on everything. Shop farmers markets, buy locally, plant a garden (even a small one.) Cook meals with family, give thanks, and eat it together. If you say Grace, ask for food to help us, our animals, and our planet stay healthy. We can change the American diet with every bite. Demand change. (Food Inc)
