It's never a bad day for "Meatloaf"

 I was craving meatloaf today so I made one, but this time with a surprise inside, yes in the shape of hard boiled eggs. I used the same recipe I posted here before except that this time, I boiled 3 eggs and placed them in the center of the loaf, I came out delicious! check it out!

Tried it and Loved it!

I usually limit myself to Spanish wines, after all I think they are the best, but lately I have been venturing outside of my safety zone and to say the least it has been worth it. Just tried Coppola Rosso, and let me tel you that for the price it's a great wine. Can't say much for the white wine since I don't drink it but the Rosso is Great!

Give it a try! it retails for around $8.00  bottle.

Baked Salmon Topped with Mango Chutney

I tried this for the first time today and it came out great. While looking for a mango chutney recipe, I stumbled onto countless recipes, all different so I was a bit frustrated but i decided to then pick ingredients from different recipes and make my own version, and let me tell you that it was a success, so here it is.


Ingredients
(This serves 2)

1 mango (of about  a pound)
1 Chopped Onion (whichever type you prefer, I used a yellow onion)
1 clove of garlic minced
1 medium size red bell pepper
Some fresh or dried chopped cilantro (as much as you like)
2 Tablespoons of tomato sauce or paste
1/2 cup of white distilled vinegar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 Tbsp of mustard (or Dijon Mustard)
1/4 cup of finely chopped ginger
cayene pepper or chilli pepper to your taste.

Directions
Combine the vinegar and sugar in a pot and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on medium high for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve over pork, fish or the meat of your choice.


I served it with Salmon which I baked at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, and brown rice.
