I'm a lightweight by these standards.
I have a tiney pork roast simmering in onion soup mix waiting for the veggies to go in with it. I have been on a low carb diet for a while so the veggies are carrots, coldiflower and brocili, assisted by a huge yellow onion.
I eat a lot of cauliflower in the winter. I love it sliced into thick "steaks", brushed with olive oil, and then cooked in a hot oven (425), until caramelized on the outside, and tender in the middle.Quote:

Not really cooking - just assembling.
Today's lunch - salad with a spring mix of lettuce, onions, red bell pepper, carrots, snow peas, apple and Albacore tuna. Dressing was 1 Tbs flax oil, 1 Tbs apple cider vinegar and 1 Tbs of fresh lemon juice.

EVOO and sesame seed on the tuna, flash fry. A dried tomato/pepper medley, canned peas, and we split a wheat bun. The dip is butter, soy sauce, lime juice, wasabi powder, green onions, and coriander.

Let's see...
Crab roll, with pickled onions, sugar snap pea salad, and taters:

Oven-fried sesame chicken, some sort of chickpea, artichoke leaf rib concoction, with honey, thyme, and cumin:

Chile, made from a bunch of random crap:

(Plus ground beef, onions, and garlic, which was already in the pan)

I didn't have tomato paste, so I used this ancho chile and chicken stock stuff that I had made to use with the pork tamale filling. I don't think I will ever go back to tomato paste! Also, a lil dab of chocolate made a nice addition.
Stir fry - chicken, onions, snow peas, red bell pepper, broccoli - cooked with one tablespoon of sesame seed oil and one tablespoon of low sodium teriyaki sauce.

The health kick continues.
Last night, I made za'atar spiced beef kefta (it's traditionally made with lamb) with a cucumber yogurt buttermilk sauce. Veggie curry on the side:

For breakfast this week, I made a cinnamon quinoa bake:

Gluten-free, and relatively low in calories, while high in protein and healthy fats. Tastes pretty good too, especially with a little dab of homemade apple butter.
WOW!
What's the recipe on the quinoa bake? We eat tons of it and love it in every form.
Here's the recipe for my version (pictured). I added some peanut butter, nuts, raisins, and different grains.Quote:

Frog legs from the frogs I gigged last night, with garlic butter.
Your a lucky man blade! No bull frogs here to catch and cook for a few more months. Nothing I love more than a big feast of fried frog legs and cod cheeks!Quote:

Here's desert:

Home made Baklava... one of my favourites!
Italian style chicken broth, slow simmered for 8 hrs. Unfortunately, I have to drive 40 minutes to get an organic chicken, so it is regular chicken, definitely a difference.
I've made bannock, cornbread, buttermilk biscuits, muffins,................but in all my trips around the sun I have never made a full fledged loaf of bread.
Last weekend, no varmints, and I'm a football addict. My team is out, so it's baking/football. Martha agreed to coach me until she had to leave for a hair appointment. From the pics, you can pretty much tell when that happened. She watched me roll and form the first two, stage left. The second two, she was gone, and there were a couple of BIG third down plays.
Honey Wheat

Nice 6 burner stove....
Last night I made a turkey, because I wanted to. No reason to make it holiday only. Overnight I cooked the carcass in the crock pot, so today is turkey noodle soup day.
That looks awesome. I do something similar in that I toss it with beets & carrots (olive oil, salt, pepper) and roast it all at 425 until caramelized. Caramelized cauliflower is delicious, I like it more than french fries I think.Quote:

While Winnie jnr has been ill, I have had little appetite. Now he is home, winter mash, cooked chicken and gravy.
