Bouncin' Burger Balls

Here's a lazy recipe that's easy enough to make when you have company that shows up for dinner in the last minute. Serve with buttered vegetables for that extra bounce!

1.7 kilos ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
1 packet powdered onion soup mix
2tbsps olive oil

Preheat oven to 375. Mix all ingredients. Shape into giant meatballs. Place in a cookie sheet. Bake for 18 minutes. Makes about 12 burgerballs.

Holy Fish

We've given up eating meat on fridays for this Lenten Season. Most of you are probably doing the same thing. I created this recipe that's easy to make, easy to digest, and easy to forget you're giving up meat this Lent. Go fish!

1 fillet tilapia or rockfish
2 stems green onions
2 cloves garlic
1 tbsp grated ginger
sesame oil
light soy sauce
salt and pepper

In a skillet, lay the fillet of fish season with salt and pepper and top with chopped green onions, garlic and ginger. Add about 5 tbsps water and 2 tbsps cooking oil. Put skillet in medium heat, cover and cook for 11 minutes. When cooked, remove from heat and sprinkle sesame oil and soy sauce before serving. Enjoy with steamed rice.
