Tuna Salad

Finally, for the fish portion of the meat unit, there were several options, I went with the one which I already had all the ingredients needed. So tuna salad it was. The recipe was simple, and called for things I didn't expect, such as relish and carrot sticks. My sister and I were a little hesitant to try it but we did and were pleasantly surprised. The recipe was just like any normal tuna recipe, I had to drain the tuna then mix in the other stuff -- relish, carrots, mayo, etc. and then we decided to put it on toast in stead of crackers, to make it more like a sandwich. The recipe also called for a hard-boiled egg, which I layed on top.

Chicken Fajitas

For the poultry part of this unit I made Chicken Fajitas. They were pretty basic, and my family devoured them. It was an unusual mix of spices (including cumin, thyme and oregano) but turned out extremely delicious. The meal was one I would seguest to anyone who didn't have a lot of time on their hands to bake and wanted something tastey and filling. I didn't have any problems making them after I got home from track practice.

shish kabobs

For the meat unit we had to make three dishes, one for each kind of meat which are red meat, poultry, and fish. The first meal was red meat, our dish was shish kabobs. I made them with stew meat which I marinated for 24 hours with italian dressing. After that I had to thread the meat along with zuchini, green bell pepper, tomatoes and potatoes onto skewers. This was the longest part, it almost took me an hour. Then I broiled the kabobs in the oven, marinating them with the indicated sauce. The work was worth the end product though, they were thoroughly enjoyed by my family. The process was pretty simple just time consuming, they are also very pretty!
