Food/recipe journal
I'm going to write down some of the better stuff that I cook so that I can refer back to it. I'll try to put recipes down also. Hopefully it will give other people some ideas/inspiration in the kitchen. Half of the actual meals that I cook are stir fries...just a heads up.

Okra & sausage stir fry
1 lean turkey hot italian sausage link (cut into 1/2" pieces)
1 cup of chopped okra
1/4 cup onion
1/2 cup mushrooms
1 clove chopped garlic
pepper & salt
italian seasoning
olive oil for cooking
I gave the sausage a 3-4 minute head start (med high). Then turned it up to high and threw in the rest of the veggies. With most italian sausage stir fries, you don't need to add much seasoning. The sausage will season the entire dish...so add other spices sparingly. I'm a huge fan of okra...it's very versatile. It sets off a lot of foods and compliments others very well. It's one of the most overlooked vegetables IMO.

I never liked okra till I spent some time down south, but your right it works with a lot of foods. The only way I dont like it is boiled ... it gest slimy and the texture puts me off ... I love it fried, but you cant have that too often.
good idea on the food journal ross ...

Tuna Steaks
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 clove crushed or chopped garlic
2 tbsp red wine
3 tbsp olive oil
Mix all of that up, then throw in the tuna. Only marinate for 30-60 minutes. Turn the tuna over once while it's marinating. Any more than 30-60 min and the tuna will absorb too much of the marinade and will lose it's natural flavor. Bake in preheated oven set to broil directly on a baking rack. Or grill. But just until the outside turns brown or changes color so you still get a very rare, tender, flavorful piece of tuna.

You should. When the sashimi grade tuna is on sale, I buy a few lbs. And eat it raw. I just add a little soy sauce. Good stuff. There's nothing like getting home from the gym, having a shake, then going to the fridge and taking out a raw piece of meat...and devouring it uncooked. That has to give you big muscles, right?
