Bossanova Baked Flounder Fillets in Lime-Soy Vinaigrette

This recipe was one of the most delicious baked fish recipes that I have ever had. I highly recommend it. I cooked half of my bag of flounder filets like this and the other half in lemon pepper butter. Believe you me, I wish I had done the whole fish in this because it was succulent. I cant wait until i can afford more flounder. I am also thinking about using this as a marinade for chicken.  

Bossanova Baked Flounder Fillets in Lime-Soy Vinaigrette

Ingredients

• two 6-ounce flounder fillets
• 1 garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Arrange fillets in a ceramic or glass baking dish just large enough to hold them in one layer. Mince garlic and in a small bowl combine with lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Whisk in oil until emulsified and pour vinaigrette over fish.

Bake fish in middle of oven until just cooked through and no longer translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

The original recipe called for Juice but all I had was lime. I have tried both

RAWr Cinnamon Apple Zap Balls

This next recipe comes from Brianne over at Cupcakes and Kale Chips. Its a pretty cool site that I stumbled upon a while back. All credit to the recipe goes to her. I am posting it here because I am going to add it to my Apple Days Cookathon (which isn't a thing yet but it will be) and I don't want to lose track of it. When I cook I like to multitask and get as much stuff as I can for the time allotted. I don't know quite where I am going with it yet but the wire-crossed genius (not really) of my brain will put it together eventually. 

Plus I will eventually hack n mod this recipe into something of my own hopefully. I already have a few ideas. I will let you know when I cook it how things go but I feel comfortable posting it in Impossible land cause I like all the ingredients. No way this thing turns out bad.

Impossibly Cowabunga Chicken Broth Recipe

This is quite honestly the best broth that I have ever had. I still have some tweaking to do before I put it on Yummly but it is really starting to come together. I am sorry I don't have exact measurements on everything just yet. The next time I make it, I am going to try and measure everything out. If you like homemade broth (it tastes great with homemade egg noodles) then please check this recipe out and let me know if you have any input or if something sucks. I can take it. 

Impossibly Cowabunga Chicken Broth Recipe

Ingredients

Chicken with Bone in (legs work the best)
1 cup dehydrated celery plus 1 quart bag of celery remnants.  
1 lb of carrots or carrot remnants
1/2 quart ziploc full of dehydrated leeks
1 sprig of dehydrated Rosemary
1 1/2 onions chopped
Onion Skins for Color
1 tablespoon Celtic Sea Salt
10-20 Peppercorns according to your taste
2 bay leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley
1 bunch of Parsley Stems* 

Directions

Combine all Ingredients and cover with water. bring to a boil and then low simmer until chicken is done. Pull chicken off bone. Crack bones with a monkey wrench and put the bones back into the broth/stock. Add more water if necessary and then Simmer the broth on low to your desired taste. Strain the broth, refrigerate overnight and then skim fat off the top. (I will clean up these directions more ASAP)

*Parsley Stems have the most flavor compared to the leaves. And they are perfectly safe to eat. They have to much taste to just nibble on but they are great for broths so no need to throw them away.
