One Bad Apple, Being Bad Never Tasted So Good

New Edition to Smiling Running Shoes.... Allow my to introduce, One Bad Apple! Being bad has never tasted so good! This Bad Apple I also call boyfriend, manpal, sexy butt.... whatever strikes my fancy at the moment I open my mouth. Which anyone who knows me knows that I say what I'm thinking whenever I'm thinking it. It keeps life interesting. 

E (a.k.a One Bad Apple) will be providing recipes that he whips up that are tasty and easy to prepare. Yup, we like it easy around here. There is no reason you have to go to a restaurant to enjoy a tasty meal. E will provide you exactly what you need to impress your friends, family and taste buds. 

Below is his first recipe, all pulled out of thin air, while I scribbled down notes as quickly as possible. You should see my notes, it looks like a second grader took them. I have no idea how he creates these delicious dishes, I am a total Recipe Princess. Without a recipe I'm a lost little puppy. He on the other hand is an artist.... or...... One Bad Apple!

Once your ahi tuna has soaked at least 10 min, it's time to put it on the grill. You want to cook it over 350 or low heat. Take olive oil and rub over your grill grate. Place ahi tuna on the grill, pouring a little of the exra marinade on top. Cook for 2-3 min and then turn, allow to cook for another 2-3 min. You want to keep an eye on the ahi tuna steaks because they will dry out quickly. Flip, pour additional marinade over ahi tuna steaks. Cook for another 2-3 min. Once fully cooked removed from the grill.
