The Best Lobster Tail Recipe Ever

The Best Lobster Tail Recipe Ever

This is the only lobster tail recipe you will ever need, and it is super easy. The meat is super tender and juicy. Dunk it in the special lemon butter sauce, and you’re in heaven. We love using live Main Lobster tails that we get from our local fish market anytime we cook lobster.

LOBSTER TAIL TOPPED WITH LEMON GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

lobster tail recipe

FUN FACT ABOUT ME: I don’t eat seafood, and no, I’m not allergic. Nonetheless, I can cook it up.

When I think of lobsters, I typically use them only to reserve them for special occasions, but now that I have this recipe down the pack, we cook them all the time. It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare this feast at home and less than eating it at a fine restaurant.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO COOK LOBSTER TAILS

  • Boiled: For the easiest and simplest way to cook lobster, boiling is the way to go. Boil water in a large pot, and the lobster tails soak in and boil for minutes. Sometimes the lobster is not quite as tasty, though, and doesn’t have that rich buttery herb flavor attached to it compared to other ways of cooking.
  • Grilled: If you love to grill, this is for you! Simply add the lobster tails to your grill and let the heat cook the tails evenly and quickly.
  • Broiled: This is my go-to way. It is quick, easy, and simple broiled on high heat and up close to the top of the over. This makes a tender lobster tail every time.
  • Baked: Very similar to broiling except under average heat and extra cooking time.

PREPARING THE BEST LOBSTER TAILS EVER

I used a combination of boiling and broiling for our tails.

For this recipe, I used lemons from Europe, and they made a great citrus addition to the flavor profile. I love how fragrant these lemons are, you guys. The scent permeated the whole house when I received them and opened the container.

This recipe is inspired by my BBQ Salmon, and my son and husband absolutely love it.

JENNIFER ANISTON SALAD

JENNIFER ANISTON SALAD

Greetings! I hope this post finds you well. I finally got around to adding my flair to the Jennifer Aniston’s Salad. I must admit I can tell what all the rave is definitely about. According to sources, Jennifer ate this salad religiously for 10 years on the set of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. So I did a little digging and a lot of sources refer to Jennifer Aniston salad as a Cobb Salad, but this salad is far from a Cobb Salad.

Now the original recipe calls for bulgur. What’s bulgur? That’s the same thing that I asked myself.

Bulgur. Parched cracked wheat, according to Webster Dictionary.

I was unable to locate bulgur, so I opted to use Seeds of Change Quinoa & Brown Rice with Garlic. I think it added a very tasty flavor to the salad. I will continue to look for the bulgur to compare the flavor profile and be sure to update you all.

Now let’s talk more about this salad. I’m always looking for a filling and hearty meal, so let me tell you this salad checks all the boxes. The garbanzo beans or chickpeas make this dish an entree on its own. I also used roasted and salted Pistachios and I don’t regret it a bit. I can definitely see why Jennifer Aniston ate this salad daily, it is the BOMB.com.

The Jennifer Aniston Salad is super versatile I had been eating it as an entree, but I can also see serving it as a side salad. If you have to have meat on your salad ground turkey or grilled chicken would be a great addition also. I would suggest trying the salads as it is and then deciding if you want to add more protein.  I can’t was to serve this at our next get-together and see how wowed everyone is by it.

If you make the salad I would love to know what you think of it. Be sure to come back and leave me a comment. Be Well-Omniley

Valentine’s Day Dinner at Home

Valentine’s Day Dinner at Home

Wine: Wente Vineyards/ Florals: Costco All Ingredients: Wal-Mart/ Caramelized Onion Recipe

Greetings. I hope this post finds you well. My family may be one of the few that haven’t dined out in almost a year. If you are like us or want to plan an at-home easy meal for valentine then look no further. I have always been a steak lover and finally got my husband on board about two years ago. We only have a few places on our list that can cook a steak to our liking so we learned how to prepare them ourselves and they are hands down the best.

Last year we dined out at Flemings for Valentines and caught the Lovers and Friends concert afterward since no concerts are going on this Valentine, I’m here to replay the night home style.


The most important thing I believe is your cocktail or wine. Thanks to Wente we have a perfect Cabernet to pair with our steak.

Now to get to the rest of the perfect at-home Valentine’s celebration. We love a bone-in rib-eye at least 3/4-1” thick. Walmart has a great selection of steak at great prices. We normally like twice-baked potatoes with our steaks, but since we planned on saving room for dessert we opted for oven-roasted green beans. If you like a lighter option try my Honey-Glazed Salmon.

What better dessert option than a light and fluffy strawberry trifle. To keep it on the lighter note, I used sugar-free angel food cake, instant pudding, whipped cream, and almond milk. It’s the perfect balance with sweetness from the strawberries.

I hope this at-home Valentine’s Day dinner inspiration gives you ideas on hosting your own. As always thanks for following me on my journey it means the word. If you try any of my recipes please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts. Be Well. Omniley.

Easy Convenient Meals by Innovasian

Easy Convenient Meals by Innovasian

Greetings, I hope this post finds you well. I am putting the final touches on my Christmas decor this week and preparing a home-cooked meal is the last thing on my mind. I’m all about convenience lately and have enjoyed my Walmart+ membership it has so many great time-saving features such as and pick-up and delivery services. I love the convenience of shopping from my home and browsing the app is so easy.

A couple of weeks ago when I was browsing the app I saw this Innovasian General Tso’s Chicken entree and immediately added a few of them to my cart. So I got a chance to try them out recently and am excited to share with you how simple and tasty they are.

There are a few ways to prepare them, but when my son walked in from work and said he was starving I opted for the microwave version. The chicken ended up super crispy and I was very impressed, as most microwavable items tend to lose their crispiness. I added in the warmed sauce and gave them a few tosses and voile.

I ended up with one satisfied teenager. I may have had my own plate too. Innovasian meals are filled with protein and such a great price. But most importantly they taste amazing. I recommend next time your in Walmart or doing curbside pick-up or delivery you snag a few and thank me later. Happy Holidays-Omniley

The Easiest Southern-Style Cornbread Dressing

The Easiest Southern-Style Cornbread Dressing

Greetings. I hope this post finds you well. As you can tell, we are in full holiday mode in my home. I already have two trees up and am getting ready to start decorating them. The Holidays will definitely be different from those of years past for my family this season. Typically, around the Holidays, memories of my NaNa seem to flood my mind. I was always in awe of how she knew her way around the kitchen, and everything always tasted so delicious. This year, I will reflect on past celebrations with my family and friends because those memories have never been so necessary.

Most of the recipes I share with you all are made with memories of her. I know she is smiling down with this one today. She was known for her extraordinary cooking, and cornbread dressing was in her top 10. She made her delicious cornbread dressing every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I can remember my grandmother and auntie using Stove Top® Stuffing as their secret ingredient for years. So it’s only natural I continue the tradition. Stove Top® Stuffing reminds me of so many happy and grateful times around the dining table. After a year like this, comfort and familiarity will definitely play an integral part in my family celebrations.

This cornbread dressing recipe has been in our family for years. I’ve been hosting for the holidays for the last ten years and during that time I have tweaked this recipe, and now it seems to be even more of a crowd-pleaser.

What is cornbread dressing?

Cornbread dressing is such a simple dish, but it is packed with flavor when prepared with the right spices. Traditional dressing is typically made with cornbread, chicken stock, and a mix of spices. Belle’s Southern Cornbread Dressing is seasoned with sage, black pepper, cream of mushroom, and I love to add Stove Top® Stuffing to take the flavor profile to another level. I consider this dish a sweet and savory dish because I always use sweet cornbread. It brings back memories of my grandpa when he used to eat leftover cornbread and crumble it in a glass of buttermilk, and it was so good.

Because we know the holidays can be busy and stressful, multi-tasking and preparation are vital. After making this dressing for almost 10 years now, I’m happy to share with you Belle’s Southern-Style Cornbread Dressing holiday style. I had taken a lot of the prep work out of your traditional cornbread dressing recipe by using pre-made rotisserie chicken and cornbread. All of the flavor profile is still intact. I love shopping at Walmart for its one-stop-shopping, and I have been utilizing their pickup services since March, and it is such a time saver. You can thank me later. Now let’s get to it.

First, preheat the oven to 350°F degrees and cook your chorizo in a small saucepan on low-medium heat for 3-5 minutes until it is cooked thoroughly, then set it aside.

Crumble cornbread by hand into medium pieces in a large roasting pan.

Add in Stove Top® Stuffing mix (I choose this blend because it already contains perfect seasoning elements); pour 1-½ cups of the chicken broth. Mix well; try to avoid breaking up the cornbread completely.

 

 

Add cooked chorizo, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, cooked rice, onion and pepper blend, and remaining ½ cup of chicken broth if the mixture is still dry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next add in shredded chicken, poultry seasoning, creole seasoning, black pepper, and chopped egg. Mix well.

Grease 2 9” x 13” pans well and pour dressing mix evenly in each pan. Cover both pans with foil and bake for 35-45 minutes; remove foil. Slice the stick of butter into 1/4“ slices, place over the top of the dressing, and bake for another 20-30 minutes or until a thermometer reaches 165°F.

 

 

 

One of the important keys to tasty cornbread dressing is keeping it moist. I avoid my dressing drying out by adding slices of butter on top during the last 20 minutes of cook time. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now this recipe serves up to 14 people. I don’t normally have a gathering of that size, so when I prepare it for Thanksgiving I usually only bake one pan and place the leftover mixture in a  freezer-safe bag and place it in the freezer and use for Christmas. I hope this recipe becomes a family tradition of yours as it has become with my family. As always thank you for continued support. You all mean the world to me. Please don’t forget to Enter the #ShareTheHolidaySweepstakes by clicking here for a chance to win daily prizes of $100 Walmart gift cards and a grand prize trip to visit loved ones (a $2,500 value). Plus as a special gift from Walmart, you’ll be emailed a link to download a free digital cookbook of holiday favorites (including this recipe!).Happy Holidays-Omniley

Homemade Chili

Homemade Chili

 

 

Greetings. I hope this post finds you in good spirits. Does it feel like Fall where you live yet? In Louisiana, we had a teaser last week and the first thing I did was make a batch of chili. During the fall and weather months, there are some recipes that are a must on my list and chili is one of them.

Chili is such a hearty dish, it can be served as a main dish or as a topping for baked potatoes or french fries you name it. When it comes to my household we have one dilemma when it comes to chili…can you guess what it is? If you guessed beans or no beans you guessed right.

For me I must have the beans; if you don’t add beans it is simply tasty ground beef to me. My guys however despite beans in chili.

Let’s talk about the official difference.

Traditional Texas-style chili is also known as chili con carne: a blend of meat, tomatoes, and chiles, but strictly free of one ingredient BEANS! When it all comes down to chili the secret really lies in your spices if you ask me. I finally found the perfect spice blend for my family and I think if you give it a try you will be pleased also.
