Wow! This year went by quickly! I enjoyed many great meals with my family and a few while dining out. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Special days and holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Meals often trigger great memories. It is wonderful to share dinner with friends and family. It was also great to try a few new dishes. This year it is back to highlighting photos of great home cooked meals. Often, I find the food cooked at home far superior to that which can be purchased out. Food is not only great to taste and enjoy, but a beautiful sight to see. Presentation and placement on the plate are important. So, what were my favorites this year? Dishes are listed left to right going downward. We have Baked Chicken Breast with Roasted Vegetables and Sauteed Green Beans, Red Snapper Filet with Argentinian Red Shrimp and Green Beans, Pasta Fusilloni (my dad’s secret recipe) and Broccoli, Asian Inspired Sesame Chicken with Vegetables, Gyros Tostadas (a new creation), Crawfish Etouffee and Chicken with Mustard Greens, Mexican Taco Bowl, Meatloaf with Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes at Cleburne’s Cafeteria, Argentinian Red Shrimp Stir Fry with Noodles and Vegetables, Fried Catfish with Beets, Cabbage, and Fried Okra Luby’s Cafeteria, Stromboli Sandwich at Spanky’s Pizzeria, and the one and only #1 Hamburger in America the Bill’s Burger at Beck’s Prime. Thank you for supporting my blog with your readership and views. I’m going into my thirteenth year of blogging now. Working to fit it in between work, my drumming YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@AlbertMoyerJr. , and now my Keyboard YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@AlbertMoyerJrEDM May God continue to provide, and may we all learn to love, live, enjoy great meals together, and get along in the way God intended. Stay active and eat great! Bon Appetit!

Chicken Waldorf Salad
I am still cooking all the time and I often do not have time to post everything, but this Waldorf salad I made was exceptional, as I added seasoned grilled chicken.
Here is the recipe I used

This is one of my favorite dishes to cook, especially when it is cold and you need extra protein and energy.
Here is the recipe for:
Irish Stew
Ingredients:
1.3kg/3 lbs boneless lamb or beef cut into chunks.
(It’s more authentic if you use lamb.)
1.5ml/1 tbsp. of vegetable oil
3 onions
1 lb of carrots
900 ml/3 3/4 cups water
10 red potatoes quartered
3 nice fresh Thyme sprigs or more to taste
3 tbsp. of butter
1 tbsp. of chopped fresh Italian parsley
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Heat oil in large casserole or pot. Brown meat on all sides. Remove.
2. Quarter the onions, and slice the carrots about one inch thick. Cook them in pot for around five minutes until onions start to brown.
3. Return meat to pot with water, reduce heat, and simmer for one hour.
4. Add potatoes to pot with Thyme and cook one hour longer.
5. Turn stew off and let settle for ten minutes. Stir in butter.
6. Serve into bowls and top with fresh chopped parsley.
Enjoy!

Tilapia with Kiwi Berry Sauce
Posted: October 14, 2013 in FoodTags: Fish and Seafood, Honey, kiwi berry, recipe, Sour cream, Tilapia, Zest (ingredient)
Recently, I tried some kiwi berries. These little fruits are amazing! They taste like a kiwi without all the work of peeling them. You can just pop them in your mouth and eat them. Here is a recipe that I borrowed from 52 Kitchen Adventures.
This dish will make your mouth water!
Tilapia with Kiwi Berry Sauce
Serves 4
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1/2 C kiwi berry puree*
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 1/2 T honey
- 1/2 t triple sec
- Orange zest, for garnish
Preheat oven to 375°F. Place fillets in a large baking dish and generously season with salt and pepper. Place a small pat of butter on each fillet and bake around 20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily.
In the meantime, prepare the sauce. Combine kiwi berry puree, sour cream, honey and triple sec in a medium bowl. Pour over prepared fish, then grate a little orange zest on top (be careful not to put too much, as it overpowers the flavors of the sauce).

Steel Cut Oats with Raisins, Walnuts, Apples, Cinnamon, and Honey
One of my favorite breakfast foods is steel-cut oats. I prefer their nutty crunch to the flat pasty style rolled oats. Steel cut oats take longer to cook. They usually take about 30 to 45 minutes. If you are looking for a healthy, natural, breakfast choice, this is about as natural as one can get, and your body will love you back for it.
