Grilled sardines
This is quite simply a fantastic recipe for sardines. Sardines are extremely healthy - an excellent source of omega-3, B12, and selenium - and just as important: they're the cleanest, healthiest fish to eat, and also sea-friendly.
While most people associate sardines with the canned variety, "real" sardines are something else entirely.
They turn out crispy on the outside, tender and ultra-flavorful inside. II buy them frozen at my local supermarket. They're really inexpensive, and here's a funny tip: my dogs love to eat the heads and tails, so nothing goes wasted, plus it's good for them! Enjoy!
Ingredients
•8-10 whole sardines, fresh or frozen
•1 tsp. salt
•1 tsp. salt
Directions
Grill about 5-7 minutes each side.
When done, fish will appear golden and the skin will be crisp.

Icecream cake
I love icecream, but I'm horrible when it comes to baking. I found the recipe online a few months ago, yesterday I decided to try it for the first time, thought it would be an exciting "experiment", as it's as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Ingredients
500 g of your favourite icecream
190 g flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 dl chopped chocolate of your choice
190 g flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 dl chopped chocolate of your choice
Directions
1. Place the ice cream in a bowl and let it stand until it is completely melted (I left mine in the fridge to melt).
2. When the icecream has melted, preheat the oven at 175 degrees.
3. Add the flour and baking powder to the melted icecream, mix thoroughly.
4. Stir in the chopped chocolate.
5. If you do not have a teflon baking pan, it may be good to line the pan with baking paper before placing the dough in it, or use a baking dish.
6. Place the dough in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Prick/test with a skewer or wooden stick to make sure it is not sticky inside.
7. Allow to cool before cutting it.

Notes
I doubled the measurements for the size of the baking pan that I used.
Don't make the same mistake as I did and put it in the fridge afterwards without covering it or putting it in a plastic box as this "dries" it out. I used smarties instead of chopped chocolate, they sunk to the bottom of the cake, and the colours all disappeared. All in all it was a good experiment, will definately be making it again, especially if I can find diabetic icecream in the stores again.

Shrimp Diablo Tortellini
My latest creation. I like spicy food, love shrimp and cheese tortellini but don't like a lot of sauce drowning out the flavor's so I put this together and it's a hit with the roommates.

Notes
I updated this recipe cause I found that it dried out if you mix the tortellini into the Shrimp Diablo.
For mild spicy heat adjust the chili to taste and don't add Sriracha.
