Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
I made delicious Latkes with Spaghetti squash! Check out Wheat Belly Recipe Book by Dr. William Davis. I am going without wheat and grains and low or no sugar but it's a lot easier than I thought. I made a delicious pizza crust from his book too. Basically you use almond meal, coconut flour, and ground flaxseed for a lot of recipes. I have been cutting in Garbanzo bean flour when I run out of the first two ingredients.
Your meal sounds delicious. (tummy grumble)
I am SO over winter and can't wait to throw a burger on the grill!
Stopped at the florist today and asked for a $10 bouquet, to help the winter blues......and he hands me WHITE roses and baby's breath. UM.....no. We need COLOR!
We love the Dan Dan noodles from Tea House which I believe (?) involve peanut butter. Love what the nut can bring to a dish. :)
It really helps to loosen up a stuffed nose and chest congestion. Plus, it's something a person can actually taste as that sense usually suffers with a cold.
I DO tend to like spicy food so your mileage may vary. :)
mbvargo - cookies??? Made me laugh - those days are long gone for me
wordy - the cookies sound great. Cabin fever???? You have no idea . Minus 11F - feels like minus 27. Just hooked up the (t)rusty old dog team (2002 Buick)and got me some groceries. Dang the wind was cold! Hibernating tomorrow
windy -you are getting fluffy??? have you had your thyroid checked? a splash of two of sherry improves many things. My father made what he called Zoop which was a soup made from whatever leftovers were in the frig and a hefty dose of sherry and it was always good
windy I do love food and cooking relaxes me. Usually I cook several dishes at once I will do a ground beef mixture - onions garlic etc. and make stuffed peppers and also lazy cabbage rolls, and a soup - always have to have soup
around. I boil up bones for stock with a little vinegar in them to get the minerals out as I am allergic to dairy as well as gluten and watermelon. majes f
Anyone else have cabin fever?
I'm getting kind of fluffy, not gaining weight, and that disturbs me.
This sub-zero for months on end is bad for even walking the dog. Gaah!
Ready to go low-carb again. Too bad I finally perfected pizza dough! :(
Latkes ...... yummmmmmm
Maybe add some celery and carrots and raw onion to your rice, or sub potatoes. Carmelized onions and raw onions together build a flavor profile. Add a little chicken broth, 1/2 cup or so and a splash of cooking Sherry, then the herbs you prefer.
If you like pulled pork sandwiches, no need to brown (though it does add flavor). Put the loin, though pork shoulder is preferable with a higher fat ratio, into the crockpot with your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook low and slow for 7-8 hours. It will pull apart fork tender. Serve on buns with extra BBQ sauce. This meat can be stretched all weeks for tacos, quesadillas, etc. Good and economical.
