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

My scallops and pasta went like this: pasta plated on the right, scallops in the pan on the left. Grab plate on right to bring closer to scallops. Spooned a scallop.....wait....no pasta.....in my haste and not looking it had slid off the plate in that one quick motion and was adorning the counter and my freshly washed kitchen floor, in all its buttery goodness. F-sharp. But the scallops were good...
 
Pasta that didn’t slide.. onions in olive oil until just starting to brown, garlic, then creminis. Some halved cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper all along, added some cooking sherry, reduced that, added kale for colour, then some Dijon and a bit of cream. Added to linguine that had been manipulated very carefully on the plate. Stayed intact to the Lazy Girl, and throughout the movie on Netflix.
 
Twist on an old southern recipe (calls for pepperoncini, a packet of ranch dressing and a packet of onion soup mix - blech) - Slow cooker chuck roast. Mine is (so far)…

1 medium onion sliced and stripped
3 medium celery stocks medium to rough chopped
1/3 cup brown gravy mix with enough water added to make it a pudding consistency paste (get out dem lumps)
1-2 tsps. minced garlic
1/4 cup parsley (I used the dry this time)
1 4-6 ounce jar of roasted red peppers well drained
2 tablespoons or 3... jalapeno spread (had it on hand instead of the pepperoncini)
3 tsps. Old Bay seasoning or Emeril's Essence (there's a recipe somewhere on the net for basic approximation to make this on the net somewhere)

Layer 1/2 the onions in the crock lightly sprayed with coconut oil
Toss in 1/2 of your celery. Add in your pudding consistency gravy mix.
Dry pat your chuck and season with salt & pepper (I used 6 pepper, and smoked paprika and went way easy on the salt)… rub it in. Set it on top of the onion/celery. Set slow cooker to low.
Top the chuck with the roasted red peppers and drizzle your jalapeno spread OR de stem and toss in your 8 -10 pepperocinis. Let it go for 5-7 hours. Remove when fork tender... easily separates. Use the base to make your gravy or season further to spoon over rice.

I'm using a 3 pound chuck so it will take about 5-6 hours.

Today is Redpepper/Southern Roast, sugar snaps (steamed) and brown rice with gravy.
 
The roast was mega yum. Portioned off some of yesterday's roast liquid for the red/red pepper gravy... then added a couple bags of black eyed peas (frozen) with a couple cups of H2O and let em go low and slow overnight. Always like it when a recipe does double duty.

So today is...
Parm acorn squash (got em from the fresh market)
Baked sweet tater (same as above and oh my grade A quality)
Black eyed peas
Jalapeño cheesy corn bread.
Except for the broth... meatless tonight.
 
Last night was roasted tomato basil soup with tomatoes and basil from my garden. Super yum! Tonight is pizza

Pizza recipe
open box
put pizza in preheated oven
take out and enjoy if you can, lol.
 
Bored with some things... I lucked into deep discounted chia seeds so I am now in possession of 5 pounds of 'em. Found some good applications to incorporate other than just making the sprouts. So new endeavor (like the nasturtiums this spring & summer) is to use em in various applications. They are a good source of protein and Omega 3's and great for fiber. I knew they are also assistive for diabetes but can interact with medications or so DIABETICS, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN. Also not advised for peeps with diverticulitis or anybody with gastro intestinal "ituses) unless ground seeds or used as flour.

Local grocer's are no longer stocking sprouts... so gonna do mung bean & chia eventually.

First run is to use as an egg substitute for baking (using em as substitute for the eggs in Spock's Russian cabbage recipe which is on here somewhere). 2nd application today is using as a thickener (making a batch of Cuban Chili today cuz I got left over cornbread). Tomorrow's run is to add em with rice for rice balls... and chia crusted tofu ( w/stir fry tomorrow)
To substitute for egg

Here's a version I'm twisting tomorrow for the crusted tofu:
