Tonight, we're having perogies with sausages and onions sautéed in bacon. Nummers!

What a coincidence, I'm having perogies and sausages too!

Already posted what I had in that other thread. Perogies sound better.

Two chicken breasts in a lemon sauce, with stir-fried bean sprouts, shredded carrots, cabbage and onions. But I'd rather have what Bando's having :(

While on vacation last week, we had striped bass for dinner that we caught that morning on our fishing trip. Nothing like fresh fish that you caught yourself. We just grilled it up on the grill with some lemon, pepper, garlic, and olive oil. It was awesome!
I've attached a picture of one of the four bass we caught (It's not me holding the fish, it's my wife's uncle.), and what was left when I went back for seconds!

That's outstanding!!

BS chicken boobies. Snoookums fried up a bunch... nom nom nom.

Leftover steak, all sliced up and trimmed of any yucky stuffs, and served over salad.

Beef tenderloin (on sale) coated in a paste of marjoram leaves, chopped garlic, EVOO, salt and pepper and roasted to medium rare. Salad with that.

Do you guys roast your steaks on a grill or in the oven?
;D :-*

I made two huge racks of ribs last night, in my Mom's bbq sauce recipe. Soooooo good, and heaps left over.
It's Friday night, and we were feeling lazy, so we have hotdogs for the kids, and leftover ribs for us. Connor said "I'm hungry", so we offered him a hotdog (thinking kids prefer hotdogs). Turns out he had hotdogs for lunch, and (little feller that he is) prefers ribs. So I made him a big plate of ribs. Happy Connor is happy. Proud Lisa is proud. :)

True story: I have a cast iron thingy for cooking steaks in the oven. Coat it in olive oil, heat it to 400+, then throw steaks on and cook as you would on a grill. Not quite as good, but close enough and works well for when you run out of propane or it's too cold or rainy.

tried to grill last night, no propane >:(
time for a new grill anyway

Fortunately, I have some chicken in the freezer that I've just put into a sink of water to thaw. I'll make poulet au paprika.
I really shouldn't shop with booze brain.

Honey and soy marinated chicken, sauteed. Was missing something and Mrs. Tim suggested it needed some more salt, kosher sprinkled on top....... It can only be described as a love child of a pretzel and chicken-on-a-stick. Salty on the outside, sweet on the middle. This may be good enough to serve paying customers some day ;-)

I have never tried to make homemade gnocchi. It's so good! I really must try my hand at it sometime.
Did you ever see the series "Two Greedy Italians" and the second series "Two Greedy Italians - Still Hungry"? It's with Antonio Collucci and Gennaro Contaldo, two amazing Italian-born but London-residing chefs. On one episode, they traipse through Italy, cooking the way Italians did years ago. They came across a centuries-old chestnut flour mill, and mooched some chestnut flour. Then they made their way back to their wee little camper, where Gennaro made gnocchi out of the flour. He used a goose egg he mooched from another farm they visited! lol... I was salivating watching it!

Saucy, Italian “Drunken” Noodles with Spicy Italian Sausage, Tomatoes and Caramelized Onions and Red and Yellow Bell Peppers, with Fresh Basil
Ingredients:
• Olive oil
4 spicy Italian sausage links, casings removed
1 large onion, quartered and sliced thinly
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
½ cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, chopped
¼ cup fresh basil leaves, julienned, divided use
8 ounces Pappardelle noodles, uncooked
Preparation:
-Place a large, heavy-bottom pan or braising pot over medium-high heat; add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and once the oil is hot, crumble the spicy Italian sausage into the pan in small chunks (you want to keep the sausage fairly chunky), allowing it to brown in the oil for a few moments on each side; once the crumbled sausage is browned, remove it from the pan/pot with a slotted spoon and place into a small bowl to hold for a moment; next, add the sliced onion into the pan with the sausage drippings, and allow it to caramelize and become golden for roughly 5 minutes or so, stirring to keep it from burning (add a touch more olive oil, if necessary); once the onion starts to become golden, add the salt, Italian seasoning and cracked black pepper, and stir to combine, then add in the sliced bell peppers, and allow those to saute with the onion for about 2 minutes until slightly tender and golden; next, add in the garlic, and once it becomes aromatic, add in the white wine and allow it to reduce for a few moments, until almost completely reduced; next, add in the diced tomatoes with their juice, and return the browned spicy Italian sausage back into the pan, and gently fold the mixture to combine; allow it to gently simmer for about 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors, then turn the heat off; to finish the sauce, drizzle in about 2-3 good tablespoons of the olive oil to create a silky, rich flavor, and add in the chopped parsley and about half of the julienned basil; stir, and keep warm while you prepare the noodles.
-Prepare the pappardelle noodles according to instructions on package; then, drain the noodles very well, and add them directly into the sauce, using tongs to gently toss and combine the pappardelle noodles with the sauce and all of the ingredients in it; check the seasoning to see if you need to add any additional salt or pepper.
-To serve, add equal portions of the “Drunken” noodles to bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining julienned basil; you can even top with shaved Parmesan, if desired, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

Seriously your wife works all day and makes dinner every night? You honestly don't see many women that do that at all. I have never had a gf that could cook worth a shit. My gf in California idea of making dinner was bringing home KFC and putting it on plates >:(

She could put a $.49 frozen bean burrito on my plate every night and I would be happy :P
J/K, I do love some home cooking, need to get Mrs. B to make her cabbage soup

Seriously guys Lisa is 1 in a million.
She came home and fixed me up an omelet for my breaky tomorrow and ironed me a shirt for work, then spent almost 2 hours making dinner. Also chopped veggies for my tuna salad that I made for my lunches for the rest of the week.
All the while fetching me beers and pouring them for me.
Add to that she looks like a moviestar and I think I may just be the luckiest guy on earth.

And now for something completely different...
Snookums does a lot of research on natural foods, and recently (over the past few months) have started to buy local honey instead of commercial honey. There are a few benefits. First, locally produced honey is not a blend, so the taste is wayyyyy better than Sue Bee or what your local grocer or warehouse club carries (ever notice honey blends are kinda biter?) More importantly, it's produced from local flowers, so it's kinda like getting a flu shot every time you have some.
We've also done some very interesting infusions with honey. I've had some screwy knee and shoulder issues the past few years, and have been including the enzyme bromelain in my daily supplement regimen. In nature, bromelain seems to come primarily from pineapple- and this is where t gets interesting. It is most prevalent in the core, which is pretty much inedible. However, snookums discovered that immersing a pineapple core in honey not only makes for a very tasty syrup, it softens the core to a point where it is edible.

I love local honey too. We live in a village whose founders were millers and beekeepers. Each year (about the first weekend of June), we have the Streetsville Bread and Honey Festival. It's great!

It's about 5 lbs ground beef, sauce, spices and a whole 900g bag of pasta, and entire 1kg brick or mozzarella, and some fresh grated parmesan.
The oven rack was literally bowing like a hammock under the weight of those two things. SRS.

Have you ever tried Spaghetti Squash? Awesome stuff - just like spaghetti. And, I haven't tried this yet, but I am told it's really good: broccoli slaw instead of pasta! Sautée it in a little olive oil, with onion, garlic, tomatoes, etc. It caramelizes beautifully, the texture is the same as pasta, and by all accounts it is delicious. I am going to try this for my lunches this coming week.
PS: I served the broccoli slaw raw with coleslaw dressing, and both Liam and Jim thought it was regular coleslaw. :)

Turkey and Sweet Leek Pie
Ingredients
•2 rashers smoked streaky bacon, roughly chopped
•½ bunch fresh thyme, leaves picked
• olive oil
•2 kg leeks, washed, trimmed; white end chopped into chunks, green end finely sliced
• sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper
•800 g cooked white turkey meat, torn into big chunks
•2 heaped tablespoons plain flour, plus extra for dusting
•2 pints organic turkey, chicken or vegetable stock
•2 tablespoons creme fraiche
•500 g puff pastry
•12 jarred or vac-packed chestnuts, roasted and peeled
•2 sprigs of fresh sage, leaves picked
•1 egg, beaten
Method
Preheat your oven to 190°C/375°F/gas 5. Put your bacon in a large pan on a medium heat and add your thyme leaves. Add a lug of olive oil and let it all fry off a few minutes. Add all of your prepped leeks and fry them off for about 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper then pop the lid on top, turn the heat down to medium and let them cook away gently for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes to make sure they don't catch. There's going to be enough moisture in the leeks to keep them happy in the pan so they should be soft and melt in your mouth once they're done.
When your leeks are ready, add the turkey meat to them and stir. Add the flour, mix it in well then pour in your stock and stir again. Add the creme fraiche then turn the heat up and bring everything back up to the boil. Have a taste and add a bit more salt and pepper if it needs it then turn the heat off. Pour the mixture through a sieve over another large empty pan and let the wonderful gravy from the mixture drip into the pan while you roll out your pastry.
Get a deep baking dish roughly 22 x 30cm. Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with a bit of flour and roll your pastry out so it's about double the size of your dish. Crumble the chestnuts over one half of the pastry then tear a few of the sage leaves over the chestnuts. Fold the other half of pastry on top then roll it out carefully and evenly so you have a rectangle big enough to cover your baking tray. Don't worry if a few bits stick out here and there.
Spoon that thick leek mixture from your sieve into the pie dish and spread it out evenly. Lay your pastry on top, tuck the ends under then gently score the pastry diagonally with your knife. Add a pinch of salt to your beaten egg then paint this egg wash over the top of your pastry. Pop your pie in the oven for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pastry is puffed up and golden brown. When the pie is ready, re-heat the lovely gravy and serve with your pie, along with some peas tossed in butter, lemon, salt and pepper and everyone's happy!

I stopped at a new market to grab something for dinner tonight, was really pleased. Small, but 3 kinds of clams + mussels where my regular market has one kind of clams. Strip steaks thicker than I've ever seen them. A very nice section of "ready to grill" kabobs and stuff. Walk in beer cooler.
I grabbed some freshly pre made burgers with bacon, mozzeralla and feta, I usually don't get that pre-made stuff, but these were freaking delicious.

I'm having this for my lunch this week, but served over greens and a raw broccoli slaw. If you've got a craving for Asian-inspired foodstuffs, this is super easy! I used the stovetop method. Will definitely make again.
And, I doubled the meat, but kept the sauce the same and it was fine.
Honey Sesame Chicken
Ingredients:
2 large Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
1/4 cup Tomato sauce (plain)
1/2 cup Soy sauce
1/2 cup Honey
1/4 cup Brown sugar
1 tsp crushed Red Pepper
2 tsp Sesame Oil
1 medium Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Canola/Vegetable oil
1/2 cup Water
1 tbsp Cornstarch + 3 tbsp water
3 Green onions
1 tbsp sesame seeds
Method:
- In a mixing bowl, combine together the tomato sauce, soy sauce, honey, crushed red pepper,sesame oil and brown sugar. Make sure brown sugar is completely dissolved and everything is mixed well. Set it aside for later.
- Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a heavy bottom pan heat a tablespoon of vegetable/canola oil. Add the diced onion and sautee it for a couple minutes until it turns soft and translucent.
- Once the onions soften, add the minced garlic and sautee for another minute or two.
- Then place the whole chicken breasts in the pot and pour the sauce over the top.
- Add about 1/2 a cup of water and bring the liquid to gentle simmer.
- Put the lid on and let the chicken cook for about an hour. Halfway through the cooking process, turn the chicken breasts over so they cook evenly on both sides.
- While the chicken is cooking, roughly slice the green onions and toast the sesame seeds until they turn a light golden color and set them aside for the garnish.
- Once the chicken is cooked, pull them out of the sauce and set them on a plate to cool. Turn the heat up and bring the sauce to a boil.
- Mix together the cornstarch with a some water and dissolve it. Pour it into the sauce and stir until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. Turn the heat down again.
- Shred the chicken breasts into bite size pieces using a couple of forks. Then add the chicken back into the sauce and let it cook until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Garnish it with the toasted sesame and green onions.
- The Honey Sesame chicken goes great with some steamed rice and broccoli florets.
Slow Cooker/ Crock Pot Version
**If you’re making this recipe in a slow cooker, simply place the chicken breasts over the garlic and onion. Then pour over the sauce and water and cook the chicken for 3-4 hours on medium or for 2 hours on high. Once the chicken is cooked take it out, shred it and before adding the chicken back in, thicken the sauce with the cornstarch slurry. Then add the chicken back in and allow it to cook for about 15-20 minutes more. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions**

Almost done.
Just needs to simmer a bit. Maybe tweak the spices.
Had to scoop some out into another pot in order to get the rest of the veg/beans in. Will add back in once the kids eat some.

Sooo..... Was making a batch of caramel to top next week's dessert special (Individual apple tarts with walnut caramel), when I realized I had a bit more than I needed. So removed what I needed when it reached the right temp (~240*) and took the rest to ~275*, and voila.... Hard caramel candies. Gave to staff and customers as a freebie. Been a long time since last time I had one of these...

Nice. I could probably eat errything in the 2nd pot. Kinda SRS

Nice! For the life of me, I cannot make candy, or caramel sauce. :(
For caramel:
Two parts sweetened Condensed Milk
One part brown sugar
One part butter
Melt equal weights of brown sugar and butter in a pan and simmer on a low heat until the two become a smooth liquid.
Add condensed milk and raise the temperature very gently until it starts to simmer. Keep the temperature low and stir continuously until brown. This should take around 20 minutes.

I intended to make a chicken and leek pie/turnover for dinner tonight. So I popped a chicken into the slow cooker to cook throughout the day so it would be ready to shred for my pie.
On a whim, I put a rub of paprika, salt, onion powder, thyme, garlic powder, cayenne (red) pepper, and black pepper.
I just walked into the kitchen and it smells so good that I'm tempted to forego the pie and just slice up the chicken!

Oh, man that looks good!
Lamb around here is super expensive compared to where I grew up. Would have it more often but when lamb is $8-9/lb versus beef which is $2-4/lb...usually go with beef.

I thought it was.....but could be off. It looks small in the first pic,(might be an odd angle) but the second is what was left over after we all ate.
Either way....it was good. It had been a while since I did a roast, and my kids LOVE it. I commented to my wife that I need to remember to do them more often.

Man THAT looks good! Never thought of that!
-
Lisa, post the recipe.
It seemed like a lot of work to me, but Lisa said it wasn't too bad.
Steak marinated all day, and prep & cook tonight was maybe 40-45 minutes.
That's not bad considering this is like restaurant quality food.
-
I think the raw meat looks brown because it marinated all day in the Worcestershire sauce. When I put the meat in the marinade, it was a usual red colour.
If you are going low-carb, you can certainly skip the sugar in the glaze. Or you could skip the glaze altogether (but I am a nut for all things balsamic).
Ingredients:
For the steak
10 slices sirloin - Lisa's cheat: I've bought veal scallopini and I've bought already flattened "minute steak" fast fry steak.
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
steak seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
For the veggie filling
1 small zucchini - Lisa cheat: I skipped this and used broccoli slaw
1 carrot
1 bell pepper
2 garlic cloves
6 green onions
1 teaspoon herb seasoning (Italian Seasoning or Herbes de Provence are both good)
For the balsamic glaze sauce
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup beef broth
1 shallot
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons butter
Method:
Steak pieces are coated with Worcestershire sauce and seasoned with salt and pepper. They are set aside, for an hour, to marinate. Vegetables are prepared for the filling. The zucchini, bell pepper and carrot are julienned, green onion is chopped and the garlic crushed. Olive oil is heated in a frying pan and the garlic is cooked for just a few seconds. The carrots, the bell pepper and zucchini are added, seasoned with herb seasoning and cooked together, at high temperature, until soften. When ready, they are transferred into a large bowl and the green onion is added. In a sauce pan, the balsamic glaze is prepared. The shallot is finely chopped, and sautéed in heated butter until tender. Balsamic vinegar is added, beef stock and brown sugar. The mixture is brought to a boil and cooked until thickened and syrupy. When the filling and the glaze are prepared, marinated steak slices are transferred, one by one, to a plate and filled with veggie filling. They are rolled and secured with toothpicks. Some oil is heated in a large skillet, and the rolls are placed in batches, seam side down, sprinkled with oil and fried on all sides, until brown. When done, they are transferred into plates, toothpicks removed and glazed with balsamic glaze sauce. Enjoy!
^^I wonder if the recipe was originally in another language and this is how it translated?

we have sandwich steak here but it's usually tough. I'm thinking cube/swiss steak would work nicely as well....
I'm gonna try this sometime this week.

It is my brother's 50th birthday today so I am back in Ireland to help with the celebrations.
He is a big fan of The Big Bang Theory so I made him a cake. Pretty much copied it from one I found on google images.
The cake itself is chocolate surounded in raspberry ruffle mix.. with the decoration on top.
The three silver things are little sparkling fountains that I have to light with a match. :)

That looks awesome, Dee! I hope you took/take pics when the sparklers are lit.

While we wait for pics of Dee's brother's cake (just kidding, Dee - no pressure!) I thought I'd share tonight's dinner. Courtesy of Nigella. I will definitely make it again!
1 large onion
125 ml olive oil
2 teaspoons English mustard (on this side of the pond, it's powdered mustard or dry mustard)
1 tablespoon dried sage
pepper
1 lemon
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 kilograms chicken (jointed into 10 pieces)
12 sausages
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage (or chives or watercress to serve)
Method
1.Peel and cut the onion into eighths, and put into a freezer bag with the oil, mustard, dried sage, a good grinding of pepper, the lemon juice, the squeezed-out husks cut into eighths, and the Worcestershire sauce. Squidge everything around to mix (the mustard needs help to combine) and then add the chicken pieces. Leave to marinate in the fridge overnight, or for up to two days.
2.Preheat the oven to gas mark 7/220°C/425ºF. Allow the chicken to come to room temperature in its marinade.
3.Arrange the chicken pieces in a roasting tin, skin-side up, with the marinade, including all the bits and pieces, and tuck the sausages around them. Sprinkle the fresh sage leaves over the chicken and sausages and then put the tin into the oven to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the sausages over halfway through to colour them evenly.
4.Arrange the chicken and sausages on a large platter

I made this this week and it was gorgeous. Not a great deal of effort required either. I served it with mashed potatoes.
Nutritional information that follows represents 1/4 of entire recipe (sans smashed spuds!).
Ingredients
1 lb (454 g) pork tenderloins
1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp (10 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) unsalted butter
1 large red onion, finely chopped
1 bay leaf
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine
1 tbsp (15 mL) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 mL) sodium-reduced chicken broth
Rub pork with 1 tsp of the oil, the rosemary, salt and pepper. In large skillet, heat remaining oil over medium-high heat; brown pork all over, about 4 minutes.
Transfer to rimmed baking sheet; roast in 425°F (220°C) oven until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside, 10 to 15 minutes. Tent with foil; let stand for 8 minutes before carving.
Meanwhile, in same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat; cover and cook onion and bay leaf, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Add garlic; cook until onion is caramelized and softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in wine and increase heat to medium-high; cook, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half.
Add flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in broth and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add water by tablespoonfuls to thin gravy if desired. Discard bay leaf. Serve with pork.

I had started this in the Misc, because I wasn't exactly posting "health-conscious" recipes - lots of decadent dishes instead.
But I suppose if one exercises portion control and moderation, any recipe can be healthy.

Decided to make some turkey chili. I've never made homemade chili before so I found the easiest recipe online I could.
I almost doubled the recipe and substitued red kidney beans for pinto beans. Also substituted hot pepper rings for jalepeno.
I used
4.3lbs turkey chili
(2) 28oz cans of diced tomatoes
(2) 15.5 oz cans of red kidney beans
(3) packets of chili mix
Hot pepper rings and some of the juice.
(1) fresh garlic clove
I made one pot with hot peppers and garlic and one without.
So, I guess I basically got 12 servings out of this but at the listed nutritional values that are on the bottom of the pic.

Of course... first you gather your ingredients which is usually a touch of Dana and a splash of Knothead. Warm your car and then turn up the heat by driving to Beef O'Bradys. Allow 10 minutes for boneless wings to be done.

I make turkey chili a lot; almost every weekend during the fall & winter, and at least once a month the rest of the year. Everyone seems to love it, or maybe they're just being polite. I think it's pretty damn good.
I've got two ways of making it, one quick and one not-so-quick. Ground turkey comes in 24 oz. packs from Costco, so sometimes I just use one pack, but if I want leftovers for lunch throughout the week I use 2 packs.
So I want to share with you all the best chili seasoning in the world! Williams chili seasoning, which is salt-free. It's not available everywhere, and probably not available in Canada, but of course you can buy it online. http://www.williamsfoods.com/seasonings/chili-seasonings/ (http://www.williamsfoods.com/seasonings/chili-seasonings/)
My quick chili:
Finely chop one medium onion and 1 large or 2 smaller stalks of celery (including leafy parts), and saute in your chili pot in a bit of olive oil, until they begin to soften.
Add 1 1/2 lb. ground turkey (seasoned with salt to your liking since there is no salt in the Williams seasoning) and brown (or whiten, if you will).
Drain off excess fat.
Add one 14 oz. can of fire roasted diced tomatoes, one 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, and one 6 oz. can of tomato paste.
Add one package of Williams regular chili seasoning.
Add one (or more if you wish) 14 oz. can of black beans, drained and rinsed.
Add about 1 cup of water or tomato juice or V-8, more or less to your desired consistency.
Simmer for 30 minutes.
(If I'm using 3 lbs of ground turkey, I double everything of course, except I usually use one pack of Williams regular chili seasoning and one pack of Williams chicken chili seasoning.)
My not-so-quick homemade turkey chili:
Finely chop one large (or 2 small) onion, three large chili peppers (I usually use 1 or 2 Anaheim peppers and 1 or 2 Poblano peppers), 1 large (or 2 smaller) jalapeno peppers (seeds and membrane removed unless you want it hot & spicy), 2 stalks of celery (including leafy parts), and 5 cloves of garlic.
Saute all veg except garlic in olive oil until they begin to soften, then add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Add 3 lb. ground turkey seasoned very generously with salt and pepper, and stir while browning the turkey.
Drain off excess fat. Add about 2 cups of water, or enough to make the meat mixture soupy (I don't actually measure the water). Bring to a boil, reduce to low, and let simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to make sure it's not sticking to the bottom of the pot. You can use more water and leave it uncovered, just as long as the water is mostly gone after an hour. Simmering the meat with the chili peppers is what makes this chili awesome.
Add 3 to 4 TB of chili powder (just chili powder, not a packaged seasoning mix) and 2 TB ground cumin, stir into the meat mixture.
Add two 14 oz. cans of fire roasted diced tomatoes, two 8 oz. cans of tomato sauce, and one 6 oz. can of tomato paste.
Add two 14 oz. cans of black beans, drained and rinsed.
Add water or tomato juice or V-8 to bring the chili to your desired consistency. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Remove from heat, uncover, and wait 15-20 minutes before serving.

Wow toby those chilis sound delicious. I may make one of these next time.

Final meal. Decided to do a take on FLEX's salisbury steak except with ground turkey. Sick of ground beef so a little change was nice. Baby bella shrooms were yummy! Actually the entire meal was. 16oz of meat!! Dana is super full.

This is one of my favourite recipes. It's like a boeuf bourg, but way easier! From Laura Calder, one of my favourite chefs. It is simmering away in the big purple pot, and the house smells heavenly.
4 pounds beef, cut into chunks (bones left on if there are bones)
salt and pepper to season
thick bacon, cut into paper clip-sized pieces
2 tablespoons oil, more if needed
2 medium onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons Jerez vinegar or red wine vinegar
3 cups beef stock
3 cups dry red or white wine
1 bay leaf
1 celery stalk, cut into two
1 bouquet parsley (small bunch tied together with string to be removed later)
1 bouquet thyme (small bunch tied together with string to be removed later)
4 black peppercorns
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 pounds large carrots, thickly sliced
Directions
1. Season the meat on both sides with salt and pepper. In a large casserole, fry the bacon until cooked, 7 minutes. Remove, and set aside. Add half the oil and fry the onions until soft, adding the garlic towards the end, 10 minutes total. Remove with the bacon. Add the remaining oil to the pot and brown the meat well in batches on both sides, 3 minutes per side. Remove.
2. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, scraping up the good bits from the bottom. When the vinegar has almost disappeared, add the wine. Now, put the meat, bacon, onions, and garlic back in the pot. Pour over the stock, adding more water if needed to cover. Wrap the bay leaf, celery, parsley, thyme, and peppercorns together in a bundle, and tie with a string. Add it to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for two hours.
3. At this point, dissolve the cornstarch in some of the cooking liquid, and stir it into the pot. Cook, uncovered, for half an hour. Add the carrots and continue cooking for half an hour, until they are tender. Discard the string-tied bundle of flavourings. Cool the contents completely, cover, and refrigerate overnight. (You can actually eat it straight away, but it's one of those things which is always better the next day.) To serve, bring to a simmer for half an hour, until the sauce has reduced to gravy consistency.

^^^Awesomeness. Wholeheartedly approve of this, especially considering the current climate status.

Tim, I love fresh herbs. I grow a little herb garden in a container outside during the summer. My kitchen is pretty small, so I really only have room for a couple small pots in the kitchen during the winter. :(
But, I got an herb saver for Christmas a few years ago, and I love it! I use it for fresh cut herbs bought at the grocery store and they honestly keep for about 4-5 weeks. It fits easily into the door of the fridge. This has to be one of my favourite kitchen goodies. We pay about $4 for 40 grams of herbs, and if I'm only using a sprig or two I hate to waste the rest.

I took a packet of Lipton onion soup mix and added about 1 tblspn to ground turkey and mixed well by hand to incorporate. Let it sit for about 5 minutes then formed patties. I sauteed fresh baby portabellos in butter( yeah real butter). Used a jar of turkey gravy and just heated it up. I suck at gravy making. Cook patties, sling the mushrooms on and top with gravy. I liked the turkey because it doesnt have as much of a grainy texture as the ground beef.

I don't think I've posted this before. It's a nice recipe, because it doesn't begin with tinned soup.
Macros are below, and that's if dividing your recipe into 4 servings. We've divided this recipe into 6 servings and still found them quite generous.
2 lbs (1 kg) chicken pieces (uncooked)
2 cans (10 oz/284 mL) condensed chicken broth, undiluted
2 tsp (10 mL) poultry seasoning
2 cups (500 mL) thinly-sliced carrots
1 cup (250 mL) sliced celery
4 small onions, quartered
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) milk
1/2 cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
1 cup (250 mL) frozen peas
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 1/2 oz (200 g) frozen or fresh puff pastry, thawed but cold
Instructions
Place chicken pieces in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add chicken broth and poultry seasoning. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover and simmer 45 min or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken.
Add carrots, celery and onions to broth; cover and simmer 20 min or until vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile remove skin and bones from chicken; cut into bite-size pieces and set aside.
Stir a small amount of milk into flour to make a paste; gradually stir in remaining milk. Add to pan along with peas and chicken. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils and thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Spoon chicken mixture into 2-quart (2 L) casserole or 4 individual 2-cup (500 mL) casseroles.
On lightly floured surface roll pastry to fit top of casserole(s). Place over hot chicken mixture. Crimp edges; cut steam vents. Bake in a preheated 425 °F (220 °C) oven 10 to 15 min or until puffed and golden. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings, but we made it 6 servings which was plenty (and we have big appetites!)
Note: To save time, I have left boneless skinless chicken, stock, veggies in the crockpot on low all day, then came home and started from the milk & flour step. It worked just fine and took very little time to finish off the recipe. Great weeknight dinner.

Thanks Pete. Easy dinner, really. And, I think substituting chicken thighs for the breasts would be great. I'm a big fan of thighs. I think you get more flavour and more juice for a fraction of the price.
I was looking back through this thread for a recipe, saw the first post, and said "Perogies for dinner!"

I'm going to make stuffed green bell peppers for dinner tonight, with ground turkey. My mother used to make them with a meat mixture like meatloaf except with rice and tomatoes in the mix, then she stuffed the peppers with the raw meat mixture and baked them for about an hour. But every recipe I find online has you browning the meat, then mixing it with the rice, onions, tomatoes, etc. and then stuffing it in the pre-blanched peppers, and baking for about 30 minutes. Seems like that would just be a crumbly mess when you cut into it. I think I'll wing it and go with my mom's method.

Had homemade pulled pork and mashed potatoes.
I made 4 lbs of pork loin with a smoky dry rub. Then I shredded it and cooked it with a full bottle of Memphis style BBQ sauce and a sliced red onion.

House smells great. Deathly afraid of what the macros might be. lol...
Ingredients
10-12 oz. penne or ziti pasta
2 cups heavy cream
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
1/2 tsp. onion powder more or less to taste
1/2 tsp. garlic salt more or less to taste
1 1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese, divided
2 chicken breasts cooked and cut into strips
3/4 cup bacon cooked and chopped
3/4 cup diced ham
bread crumbs
Instructions
Cook pasta according to its package's directions. Drain. I always add a little olive oil after I drain it and stir in around so the pasta noodles don't stick together or the pot.
Heat cream cheese on stove over medium low heat until melted. Stir in heavy cream. Stir until completely combined. Add onion powder and garlic salt until it tastes how you would like it to. Stir 1 cup of cheese until smooth consistency.
In a 9x13, layer noodles, chicken, bacon and ham. Pour sauce over top. Sprinkle top with 1/2 cup cheese and bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until heated through.

My stuffed bell peppers came out pretty darn good. I had extra meat mixture so I put it in a muffin tin to make so mini meatloafs, which I'm having for lunch today. I finally did find one recipe online where the meat is cooked after being stuffed in the peppers. I used quite a lot more herbs and seasoning than the recipe calls for since I was using ground turkey instead of beef. The topping sauce of ketchup mixed with Worcestershire and hot sauce was really good. Here it is:

I'll make it again, but next time I'll add an egg to the meat mixture to help bind it together.

Kidney beans are kind of a staple in chili, but we usually throw in chick peas, black beans, romano beans, etc as well.
I would not hate you if you put in other kinds of beans. SRS.

Mrs Lisa made some enchiladas tonight, and except for the sauce nad the tortillas she made it all from scratch.
Kinda looks more like a casserole because there was lots of the stuffing left so she just dumped it on top and threw on some cheese and melted it, then threw on some diced avocado and grape tomatoes when it came out of the oven.

This has a real kick to it - holy cats! But it was really delicious and fast to make. We had it served over a blend of wild rice, red rice and brown rice. I doubled the recipe below and we have leftovers for tonight.
Cajun Chicken and Peppers
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large red pepper, chopped
1 large orange pepper, chopped
1/2 a onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
Instructions
1. Get your rice going, because you can make this dish while the rice cooks and have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes.
2. Heat a large skillet on medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. In a small bowl combine the cajun seasoning, creole seasoning, brown sugar, pepper, cayenne, sweet paprika and dried thyme.
3.Add the chicken and the spice mixture to the skillet and give it a good toss. Then spread the chicken in an even layer and allow it to cook, without stirring for 2-4 minutes. Then stir the chicken and add the soy sauce, continue cooking another 5 minutes or until the chicken is browned all over and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4.Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the red pepper, orange pepper, onion and garlic. Stir fry the veggies for about 5-10 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the chicken back to the skillet and toss well. Now stir in the diced tomatoes and simmer until almost all the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the heat and add the chicken mixture to the rice. Toss well and serve! Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

That's it, I'm quitting my job and moving in. Need a butler? :biggrinjester:
How long did you cook it and at what temp?
-
I'd love a butler! Keep calm and ring for tea! ;D
I marinated them overnight and then I cooked them covered in foil at 275F for 2 hours. Then I took the foil off and brushed them with more sauce and put them back in at 300F for another hour and a half, brushing them roughly every 20 minutes.

agreed. I came home covered in grease and tired as hell and had to thaw two frozen burger patties in the micro before broiling (grill is busted). Boring protein.

Looks good, as usual. I notice you use shallots and onions often. Is there really a big difference between the two that you use them together? I've never eaten a shallot that I am aware of but may try them.

Shallots have a different flavor to them; milder and sweeter than onions.

Ok. I only ever buy sweet or Vidalia onions so they are already mild and sweet. I'll have to give shallots a try sometime. Thanks

Looks like bacon, but it's not.
Recently brine, dry rubbed, and smoked 60# of boston pork butts at work. While processing, I noticed how the fatcap had a layer of muscle fiber within it and when cut just right, it turns into a faux bacon product. ONLY SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER! Will be exploring utilizing the butt process in a belly application to I can get more than my current 4% yield. I could be on to something big here.
Yes. I sliced and fried up fatcap. It was orgasmic.

Asian food is always delicious I find. If I were to tweak it at all, I'd do the rice separate and mix the sauce with it and top the vegetables and beef on it after. Just a thought.

Pork centre loin roast tonight with rosemary, quatre epices and honey drizzled on top. And you-know-who is making rice to go with! Great recipe, from Laura Calder.
3 pounds boned pork roast
salt and pepper to season
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 to 4 Tbsps chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons quatre-epices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and pepper)
1/3 cup honey, warmed until runny if necessary
½ cup water or cider
1. Bring the meat to room temperature, about an hour. Heat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Season the meat well all over with salt and pepper. Rub with the olive oil. Mix together the rosemary and spices and roll the meat in it to coat evenly. Set the meat in a roasting pan, fat side up. Drizzle over the honey. Pour about 1/4 cup/60 ml water into the bottom of the pan and place in the oven. Roast the pork for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F/180°C and continue roasting until done, about 40 minutes more, adding another 1/4 cup/60 ml water during cooking, if needed.
2. Remove the pork from the oven and carve in thin slices, while keeping the juices warm. Fan the meat onto a platter. Taste the juices and fix the seasonings. Pour over the meat, and serve

My lunch yesterday, while I don't have pictures, is an interesting take for everyone to try if you'd rather skip a sandwich and try something different:
Onigiri (Japanese rice balls)
230g short-grain white rice (short-grain works best)
52g Kimchi
110g crab stick (crab meat or what-have you will work as well)
Nori (dried sea weed sheet)
Form a small ball with some rice in you hand and push it open to form a hole in the center. Place the kimchi or crabstick in the center and then ad more rice and cover it into a ball. Wrap a piece of nori sheet around it. I got about 5 small Onigiri out of this. Pretty filling and interesting to make to say the least.

This might be a repost (I'm an auld lady with bad memory), but this is marinating for dinner tonight:
1 large onion (cut in eighths)
125 ml (1/2 cup) olive oil
2 teaspoons English mustard
1 tablespoon dried sage
pepper
1 lemon (squeezed the juice in, then cut the husks into eighths and added them)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
12 chicken thighs or a 2-kg chicken jointed into 10
I should have left this overnight, but it'll soak for a good 7 hours today. Then, it goes into a pan with 5 banger sausages and about 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh sage. Pop the pan into a 425F oven for an hour and 15 minutes, turning every so often to ensure even cooking.
The house will smell lovely. This is so good with just a simple baguette or a salad. Easy-peasy, and enough for 2 nights!

Honey Balsamic Pulled Pork
1 2 1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder roast
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
3/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper (1 medium)
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup balsamic vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Trim fat from meat. If necessary, cut meat to fit into a 3 1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker. In the cooker combine onion and sweet pepper. Add meat; sprinkle with thyme and rosemary. Pour broth over meat.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 9 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 1/2 to 5 hours.
3. Meanwhile, for barbecue sauce, in a medium saucepan combine vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally.
4. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Use two forks to pull meat apart into shreds, discarding any fat. Strain vegetable mixture, discarding liquid. Return shredded meat and vegetables to cooker. Stir in barbecue sauce. Cover and cook for 1 hour on low-heat setting.
5. To serve, spoon meat mixture onto bun bottoms. Top with coleslaw and pickles. Cover with bun tops.

Jim is grilling these for me. :)
Ingredients:
2 cloves garlic, grated with a microplane (or minced)
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup porter or stout beer
1 tsp red pepper flakes
½ tsp Dijon mustard
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ tsp pepper
1 tbs olive oil
¼ cup chopped shallots (about 1 medium shallot)
6 boneless skinless chicken thigh fillets, cut into cubes
oil for the grill
Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions
•In a small bowl whisk together the garlic, honey, porter, red pepper flakes, mustard, soy sauce and pepper. Add the chicken cubes, refrigerate for 1 hour and up to overnight.
•Remove the chicken from marinade (reserve the marinade) thread the chicken through wooden skewers.
•In a pot over medium high heat, add the olive oil and shallots. Sautee until shallots have softened, about 5 minutes. Add marinade and boil, stirring frequently, until reduced and thickened, about 8 minutes.
Grill directions:
•Preheat grill to medium high.
•Brush the grill lightly with oil.
•Brush the chicken with the glaze, place on the grill. Brush with glaze and turn every 2-4 minutes until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
•Sprinkle with chopped cilantro prior to serving.
Oven directions:
•Preheat the oven to 400. Place chicken on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Brush liberally with glaze. Roast at 400 for 30-40 minutes, brushing with glaze every 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
•Sprinkle with chopped cilantro prior to serving.
Notes
*Use metal skewers made for the grill, or soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to use. The best way to do that is to place wooden skewers on a rimmed baking sheet, cover with water and place a heavy plate on top of the skewers to submerge. *Glaze will thicken as it cools. If it becomes too thick to brush, heat slightly to thin.

We made Greek chicken souvlaki pitas last night. I marinated the chicken all day in the fridge, and Jim grilled them last night. He did a perfect job. They were moist and juicy and tender.
For the chicken:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken (breasts or thighs)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 lemon, juiced
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
kosher salt and pepper
I sliced up the chicken, and wrapped the chicken in pita bread with tzatziki sauce, chopped cucumbers, red onion and tomatoes. I sprinkled a little feta cheese on top because I'm a sucker for feta. Love the stuff.
I even wrapped them in tin foil so they were easier to eat.
This isn't my pic, but this is pretty much what they look like:
(http://tideandthyme.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/chickengyros.jpg)

Did you make the Tzazki sauce? I love Gyros and always get extra onion and extra sauce and use it like a dip, soooo tasty
-
Did you make the Tzazki sauce? I love Gyros and always get extra onion and extra sauce and use it like a dip, soooo tasty
Not this time, because I couldn't get to a grocery store to get the yogurt, as I was swamped at work. But it's not that hard to make. I have also come across a woman who makes her own pitas (plain and whole wheat ones) and she swears they are easy-peasy to make. If I had a pizza oven like InducedDrag's, I'd probably make them, but I think in my kitchen oven, it'd be a bit of a pain.
Tzatziki
1 (32 oz.) container of plain yogurt (preferably NOT fat-free)
2 regular cucumbers, peeled & seeded
3 cloves garlic, crushed (I usually use a microplane for this)
2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried dill (optional)
salt and a little pepper
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Strain yogurt using a cheesecloth over a bowl (if you don’t have that, a strainer lined with a coffee filter will work) for several hours or overnight to get out as much moisture as possible.
Shred or grate the cucumbers, place them in a clean kitchen towel, and then squeeze to get rid of as much excess moisture as possible.
Mix together the strained yogurt, shredded cucumbers, garlic, vinegar and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste. It’s best to refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving, so flavors can meld.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the top before serving.
-
Good greif how can the Dill be optional? That's what makes the sauce so good! 8)

Baby back ribs tonight in the Spicy Dr. Pepper sauce. It's quite chilly out, so I don't mind doing them in the oven low and slow. And the marinade, while it is so delicious, actually stinks. It's prepared on the stove, gently boiled and reduced, then when it has cooled it goes on the ribs and some reserved for brushing during the last hour of cooking. It really smells awful and I wouldn't dream of tasting it. The house smells like smelly old sneakers that have walked through chili peppers. Glad the windows are open.
But something magical happens when it's cooking with the ribs. Delicious!

We do something similar while camping. We cook chicken or ribs in a large cast iron dutch oven, we cover the meat with dr pepper then add sweet baby rays BBQ sauce and cook low and slow over coals. Usually for several hours, the result.......pure delicousness!

Corn on the cob is plentiful here. Too hot be cooking a big pot of corn. I use a tightly covered pot, get 2 cups of water boiling, turn off the heat, put in the corn, cover and it will be ready in 1/2 hour, cooked perfect. If it takes an hour to get the other stuff ready, it will still be perfect 8)

My spouse is out of town for a month, so now is my time to prepare and eat only what I want to eat, without taking his wishes into consideration.
Tonight I made vegetable soup with things I had on hand - onion, garlic, carrots, celery, fresh green beans, red bell pepper, fresh tomatoes from the garden (I harvested what will probably be the last of this season's tomatoes this afternoon), one can each of chicken broth and beef broth, all simmered together for about 90 minutes.
I could live on vegetables and make a meal out of that soup, but I gotta get those proteins, so to go with the soup I made a frittata:
For the frittata, first I caramelized about 1/2 of a small onion, thinly sliced, in a small saute pan (on medium-low heat in a bit of butter and evoo, until golden, which can take 30 minutes). Then I added some very thinly sliced yellow squash (or you can use potato) to the saute pan and pressed it down in an even layer and let it cook there for a few minutes. Then pour 4 beaten eggs into the pan. Leave on the stove top without stirring or mixing until the eggs just begin to set, generously season with s&p and herbs, then put in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until eggs are set in the center. Flip it out of the pan, bottom-side up onto your plate... beautiful! It was almost too pretty to cover it with chili, but I slathered on about 1 cup of leftover turkey chili that I had heated in the microwave. This is seriously one of my favorite meals. Next time I'll take pics.

Toby, that sounds faaaabulous!!
I used to make Jim a frittata for his lunch. I would love it with squash - I've never thought of that.
You've got me seriously craving a frittata right now and I think I just might make one for our breakfast/brunch. :)
And the soup sounds great. I'm dead jealous of that garden of yours. I'd love to see pics of your garden and its harvest!
-
Lisa, the garden itself isn't really worth taking pictures of. We just have 10 tomato plants in a raised bed in the corner of the yard, and we had a squash plant and cucumber plant in a different part of the yard, which haven't produced anything for a few weeks. With last night's cold spell, I think the tomato plants are done now. There are still a lot of green tomatoes on the vines, but I think this batch that I harvested yesterday will be the last of it:

Once these all are fully ripe I'll blanch, skin, and freeze them.

I can almost smell those tomatoes!
I recently learned that we in North America can buy seeds for San Marzano tomatoes. I like to watch Lidia Bastianich and she grows them in her garden in Pittsburgh. Imagine!

oooo I just knew you would have a recipe thread
hooray!!! can't wait to scroll back and read it
cold weather is coming I am in need of inspiration

And beside that, is a pan of Salisbury steaks for Mr Flexy's lunch this week.

I'd like to try Hebrew National next time. They're larger and all beef kosher.

Having eaten Easter ham and turkey all week long (since Saturday), I figured we'd need some red meat. I pulled ground beef out of the freezer. Not sure what I'll do with it, maybe a sheep's pie.
I really must keep stewing beef and other cuts of red meat in the freezer for just such an occasion. I've got lots of chicken and pork tenderloin, but need more red in there.

Been a real struggle but she's sticking to her guns, got her Dad's stubbornness.
Tonight I made Red Beans and rice to accompany pork chops, seems to be a win/win

As much as I love my chili I wanted to shake it up a little. I hate kidney beans, but I tried a can of "Great Northern Beans" in my chili tonight. 10/10 and 5 days of lunches ready to hit the freezer. 8)

Great northern are good. They also make a great ham and bean soup.
Also like black beans….mmm, mmm. Can actually eat them out of the can, so good.
-
I've used black beans before, not bad, was just in a white bean mood.
(no racist)
-
When we make chili we use a mix of red kidney beans, romano beans, black beans and garbonzo beans (a.k.a. chick peas).
Never use plain old brown beans ever.
-
Kidney beans taste like chalk to me, never enjoyed them in chili. Chili is the greatest thing, all kinds of fiber, veggies, protein then all the whey and casein protein when you chase it with a giant glass of milk.

Absolutely 100% agree. One of my favorite foods. I made a pot of chili on Monday and have been eating it for lunch all week. This time I made it with 1.5 lbs ground turkey, 1.5 lbs ground beef, a large onion, a green bell pepper, a pasilla pepper, 2 cans of diced green chiles, 2 stalks celery, 2 carrots, 2 cans of rinsed & drained black beans, and a home-made mix of seasonings. LOVE IT with a big glass of milk.

Last night I had a hankering for an old meal from my childhood, hamburger gravy on dirty, cheesy, garlic mashed potatoes and a side of corn. No one else would eat it, so there was a chitload leftover. I put some potatoes in the bottom of the lunch dishes, followed by corn and hamburger gravy. Boom, instant Shepard's pie, got 5 lunches in the freezer for the week. 8)

Training for me involves many things that have nothing to do with the gym. One of the biggest is keeping up with the supply of good food available. I take weekends to cook ahead. One of my favorites is breaded chicken breast. I slice in half and then beat thin. Egg wash and italian bread crumbs, with Parmesan cheese along with garlic salt. Pan fried to light brown with a SMALL amount of coconut oil (and supplementing with canola spray to get in nooks and crannies. Finished off in a 300deg oven to fully cooked.
This tastes sooooo good. Also can easily freeze (I weigh out portions in ziplocks and freeze). I take them out the day before and they are delisous even cold, but if you have a stove available, you can crisp in a pan easily in about 5-6 min. Just put in a pan and flip half way. (no oil needed).
YUMMY!

Actually did this earlier today! Minus the parmesan cheese.
Remembered you mentioning this recipe a while back and since we had 5lbs of chicken breast.
Of course with 3 boys and 2 of their friends over today there's only about 6 strips left.
Good thing I cooked a ham too ;)

The Parmesan really kicks up the taste. I am not a big parm guy in general, but it almost acts like salt in when using it this way. Flavor is over the top good. Also helps in nice browning.
I am cooking a 18lb turkey today. Like Thanksgiving in Jan. Family dinner tonight and then weigh portion and freeze leftovers. LOTS of good lunches. ;). Started putting regular ziplock baggies INSIDE a large Vacuseal bag. I pull a vacuum on the whole thing which squeezes all the air out of the ziplock and then run my finger over the "zip' part and stop it before I seal the lager bag. I reuse the large vacuum bag over and over, and get a great way to freeze portions of meat cheap. Really keeps down freezer burn when you squeeze all the air out.
-
Mmmmmmmmmmeat! Very few things make me less stressed than knowing I have plenty of food laid out. (srs)

I had forgotten about the parmesan cheese when I was making them but the italian season bread crumbs have plenty of flavor so it's not lacking.

I was looking for some healthy alternatives to the food I like and came across this cauliflower pizza recipe. I know it's not for everyone but I thought I'd post it here.
I made it tonight and IMO it's good. The only downside is that it doesn't really get hard like crust would. I had to eat it with a fork.

Looks good! Perfect for anyone low-carbing it.

I was actually surprised at how good they were. I definitely need to "low carb" more than I've been.

Know it's been 10 months, but just reviewing some invoices today and random chicken breast is down to $.94/# !!! (Yes, the 15% injected stuff)
Thighs and drummies have been floating between .49-.79
Enjoy it while it lasts...
