What are you having for dinner? (wanna share your recipe?)

[Tornadic Thoughts]

This wasn't for dinner, but it's one of the best "cracker" recipes I've ever made. I used the vegan shredded Daiya brand cheddar cheese-like substance, raw sunflower seeds and sprinkled them with Celtic sea salt before baking. They didn't last long. Note to self, triple the recipe next time so I can share more. :)

Video version:

I made this salad dressing with soaked raw cashews (instead of roasted), stone ground mustard, honey, lemon juice, Celtic sea salt, and water...YUM!

Crispy Skillet Chicken with Miso-Sesame Pesto - Climbing Grier Mountain
with mushroom/mint/tarragon rice, fried okra and sliced tomatoes. I thought I was being original (twist on the crock pot pesto chicken recipe... ) but nope.

I have found -with the advent of the internet- that anything I invent, that I can’t find similar things online? Is likely to be :eek: BAD IDEA! Gross, yuck, spit. it. out.

You STILL invented it :sneaky: You’ve simply achieved independent verification of deliciousness, by comparing notes with others.

I'm thinking about making this again after I saw a picture in my phone. It's very easy.

Quick and Easy (and low carb!) Pizzas

Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or apply oil. Lay the flatbreads on top. I use the Flatout brand which is thinner than a typical flatbread so it contains fewer carbs/cals in case anyone else is keeping an eye on those numbers. Then, sprinkle with olive oil. Then, sprinkle with a little garlic powder and your favorite herbs (for this, I like dried Oregano or dried Basil), sprinkle with your favorite cheese (I like Provolone or maybe a mixed Italian blend), and then sprinkle with a few dried red pepper flakes and salt. Add whatever toppings you like. I used banana peppers, red peppers, fresh tomatoes, and pepperoni. Preheat the broiler and slide the cookie sheet on the rack about 4 or so inches from the element. Cook until the cheese browns to your liking. Ovens differ so keep an eye on this. Also, letting it rest for a few minutes in a partially open oven with the heat off helps to heat your toppings through a bit better. Mange! :)

Frozen peas
Chopped cilantro

Voila!

Might could have been better with salsa, curry, creamy dressing, or whatever? Pick an ethnicity and pour over sauce. Or cuban’d up with some black beans, southwestern’d up with grilled corn & black beans. Fine just the way it was, and I’m not up to making sauces right now, so darn good thing!

Dilled salmon with capers on a bed of garden salad with a cup of miso soup and steamed dumplings. No real recipes.... just winging it.

Starting to cook for my three week work contract in the north. Food up there is so expensive, and not much variety. Already did a meat loaf, of course ate part of it last night when it finished cooking. I will portion the rest into vacuum sealed bags. Right now, on the go I have the makings for black bean soup - onions, carrots and celery sweating slowly in the pan, will add lots of garlic, then when almost done some cumin and coriander, cayenne as well. And a few dashes of Marie Sharp’s hot sauce. That will all get vacuum sealed when cool with a wee smoked pork hock. When up north I will combine the bag contents with some dried black beans and chicken stock, I use those Knorr Swiss pots of stock concentrate. Cook that up, then brighten with some citrus. Limes are scarce to non existent up there, and luggage weight for me is at a premium, so I buy the True Lime packets, I like them better than those plastic squeeze limes that I can sometimes find depending on the community. A bit of sour cream which I can usually find, hock shredded in sans bone and skin, and I hope to have a few easy meals for on call evenings and the odd lunch.

True Lime packets, I like them better than those plastic squeeze limes

Those things are sooooooo awesome, aren’t they??? :inlove:

We have to order them up here, they don’t sell anywhere IRL... and for a few months we just couldn’t get them for love or money anywhere online. ((I suspect it’s sort of like how Turkey legs disappear from the National market for 2 months, because Disney’s order for giant legs is sooooooo huge, every distributor in the country is growing their turkeys an extra month, just to supply them. Makes sense once you know that, but it’s brick wall bang head trying to find the suckers -of any size- during the Disney blackout.))

Back on target... So I ended up snagging the little 1oz lemon/lime/orange oil bottles Citrus Oil Set - Orange-Lemon-Lime - 1 oz. for $5 each, and still have most of them. Drop here. Drop there. 3 drops here. Etc.

I still like the crystallised citrus better for most things... but orange oil brownies might be so sinful as to get their own circle in hell. :bag: And lemon oil in baking & anything middle eastern? Swoon.

Lemon oils is Also banging on raw salmon / salmon lomi lomi / cold smoked / even straight up cooked salmon... if you’re in the up north I’m thinking... where salmon for every meal that isn’t ramen or Campbell’s soup starts having you glare daggers at the damn fish. To be fair, I was dating a fishing guide, but most folks I knew ate salmon almooooost as much as we did. Crab cake mix? Makes waaaaay better salmon cakes, by the by, than salmon cake mix... if you have any choice in the matter.

I think all the mods must be eating a lot of fish lately for some reason.

I had cake! Birthday cake! Chocolate!

Amazon sells 500 packets for $37.99CAD, even more of a bargain converted to USD. Not that I buy it like that. Whole Foods seems to always have them. On sale occasionally too.
