Oh, not all at once, but I’ve made the following:
lentil and quinoa salad
quinoa and potato salad
egg salad
chicken breasts with mango ginger chutney and marinade (yogurt, onions)
vinaigrette
cream sherry cake
black bean soup
sauteed peaches and apples; crepes
broiled goat cheese dipped in egg and bread crumbs
four-bean salad
I’m going to make a black magic cake!
I’ve been slackin’. I just made burgers (on toasted sourdough) tonight, and baked some chocolate chip cookies last night. Last weekend I made Cajun salmon.
Roomie cooked some hot dogs this past week, and we ended up eating hot dogs three nights in a row. (Note: they were cooked fresh each night – not leftovers.) She also made potato salad, which I told of in the potato salad thread.
Recently, crockpot caramelized onions and a great one-pot mac and cheese. Also, smoothies. But they’re not “cooked”.
It’s been a very long week with not much time for cooking, but I hope to find time for a big pot of chicken soup tomorrow. I also have many recipes lined up to try, but I’m moving to evening shift this week and the change in my schedule will throw me off a little.
Playing with my George Foreman grill, I decided to try grilling my usual pepperoni and pepperjack sandwich. Lightly buttered the bread, applied pepperoni and cheese, let it sit in the grill for a few minutes until the cheese was starting to drip out, then slid it onto a plate, put brown mustard on the non-cheezy side, and lunch!
Shrimp, Sausage, Frog Leg Jambalaya.
The in-laws were here a few weeks ago and brought us a freezer full of BP/Cajun sea/bayou-food.
I hate cleaning whole shrimp.
Made some lamb stew in the slow cooker the other day. I tried something different and added a jar of pesto sauce to the mix. I also usually add some red wine but when I was making it I found out I had run out. But it came out quite well.
Oh my, that sounds tasty. I don’t own a grill; could I use my broiler?
I made this Spicy Braised Clams with Sausage and Corn two days ago, served with baguettes. We ate up all the fresh clams (so fun to cook live clams in your own kitchen!). Last night, I used what was left of the sausage, corn and tomato base to make a manhattan-ish clam chowder with some canned clams, chicken broth and a couple of cut up potatoes. A few dashes of tabasco and I’m in heaven!
Tonight…generic frozen pizza.
Yesterday I made a tamale-inspired casserole of my own design. The dominant ingredients are corn muffin mix and chorizo, plus onions, peppers, salsa, sour cream, and a bunch of other things.
Tonight is ribs on the grill and baked potatoes, also on the grill.
Probably? I dunno. In the past I’d done something similar by putting the bread in a toaster first, and then microwaving the whole sandwich. Probably comes out pretty much the same, but this has fewer steps.
Last night I made beef stew in the crockpot - the onions, turnips, and carrots all came from the garden. Since I don’t grow cows I got the beef from the local butcher.
For breakfast-for-dinner tonight, I made my mom and myself tomato and Purple Haze herbed chèvre omelets with homemade black bear sausage on the side. The sausage was hunted and prepared by our neighbors, and it was delicious in spite of being just a bit tough.
Roomie cooked a chicken breast in olive oil, prepared some leaf lettuce, chopped an onion, made a dressing of ranch dressing and BBQ sauce, and started shredding Tillamook medium Cheddar cheese. I cut up a couple of corn tortillas and fried them in oil, and finished shredding the cheese because she was being too cautious. There’s some corn in the cupboard. We’re having salads after the chicken cools.
I just got some sous vide gear and have been playing around with that. Yesterday was deep fried egg yolks that first spent an hour in the water bath. Those were just delicious. Then I took the crappiest cut of $5/lb meat I could find and let it mellow at 130F for 24 hours. It was definitely an experience.
Went out today and didn’t cook (had some good fish and chips out). But I picked up potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions at a farm stand. Then I got some parsnips and pork at the supermarket. Tomorrow it all gets chopped up and thrown into the slow cooker with half a bottle of country sweet BBQ sauce.
I’ve been cooking a ton. My friends just had a baby but he’s been in the NICU, so I have made them 2 casseroles (mac & cheese, lasagna), 3 desserts and some cut-up fresh fruit.
Also, I’ve got a CSA this summer and have a lot of veggies and whatnot to use. Earlier this week I made myself a BLT with nitrite-free bacon and heirloom tomatoes. Last week I made roasted veggie sandwiches with roasted veggies, fresh chevre cheese and crusty bread.
Oh yeah, today I made pizza, on Boboli but I was proud of all the ingredients I managed to have on hand. Four cheeses, olives and mushrooms.
Not sure what I’m going to make this week. The baby is home and I’m back to the gym (I was on the disabled list for a bit there) so I don’t know if I’ll have to do anything other than devour the yellow watermelon and cantelope I have. Oh yeah, and eggplant dip I’m going to make.
Trying to stay out of the kitchen these days but I did saute up a sliced eggplant while I patiently fried wontons last night.
I made two kinds of wontons.Plain cream cheese and a batch with “go lean” (savory protein crumbles ) mixed with mango chutney. I am totally hooked on this good stufffor dipping and sipping.
“Portuguese Soup”. Dunno how authentic.
Peel, dice two russet potatoes. Cut up a pound of smoked sausage.
Chop up the following:
One red pepper, seeded.
One medium onion.
Three cloves garlic.
One half head of cabbage.
Two carrots.
Three sticks of celery.
One good sized turnip.
Put all of the above into a large pot along with three 14 oz cans of chicken broth, a can of kidney beans, a can of diced tomatoes, and two tablespoons of tomato paste. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer, covered for one hour.
While that’s cooking, chop up a good handful (1/4 cup) of fresh parsley.
After the hour’s up, uncover the pot and let cook a further half hour. Before serving stir in parsley.
I haven’t even tried it yet. (I’ve got it cooking on the stove as I type this.) So don’t blame me if it sucks.
Chicken chili, and man was it tasty. Used poblano and jalapeno peppers from the garden.
Big bowl of tabouli, using a Doper recipe.
