What are you cooking?

[Back in the fold]

Grilled chicken breasts yesterday and hamburger pattie’s today . Burned both to a texture of shoe leather . I better stick to rice and beans . I can’t seem to ruin boiled foods . I ain’t no chef and that’s for sure !

It's too hot to cook anything. We're down to 92F from 96F, yikes! AC is barely keeping up. Thanks to goodness & planning I have frozen chili for tonight's dinner. Black & kidney beans with Ritz crackers. Chocolate ice cream or orange sherbet for dessert or late snack if needed. I hope it cools off by bedtime, I don't like sleeping w/AC.

We had leftover Florentine (spinach) chicken w/dessert blueberries for lunch, yum!

@ jaylach
With all your fancy cooking that you do, you probably could get a job in a fancy restaurant if you’re up for it.

Been there and done that. I think I'll just stay retired; best job I've ever had.

Pilau Rice, Pork Chops and veg for an early dinner

I think I'm going to have breakfast for dinner tonight. Eggs, hash browns, sausage and mayhaps pancakes.

Breakfast for dinner got delayed a day and I had tonight. in the upper left is hash browns with bell pepper and onion. On the right are pancakes with a twist as each pancake is done with a sausage patty in the pancake.

Looks delicious...

Yep, looks really good...

I'm doing ham and cheese pancakes. There's exactly all that's required without effort... So I prepared everything while the ham boils.

Easy peasy tonite.

I'll probably do the sausage in pancakes again but won't do whole sausage patties. I'll cook the patties and let cool and break up. I'll then just add the broken up sausage to the pancake mix.

Just added some things to my next grocery order... Pita breads, Roma tomatoes, tzatziki sauce, ground lamb and bacon. Going to go for home done gyros. Would have rather gone with thin sliced lamb but the store didn't offer.

BTW, the bacon isn't for the gyros but, rather, for tomato and bacon sandwiches.

<edit>
Tonight is pretty simple. No veggie or taters. Just two BBQ chicken sandwiches on onion rolls.

I'm making my family's version of stroganoff on egg noodles instead of brown rice. Extra veg is optional; no mushrooms, neither of us has been shopping lately

Oh man, now I need BLTs soon!

Oh man, now I need BLTs soon!

I tend to leave out the lettuce as it just makes things slippery. Just give me the bacon and tomatoes.

 

[fishorama]

That's now I do them too. No mayo, no Miracle Whip, no lettuce, just wall to wall tomato & bacon on dry, preferably wheat, toast.

That is how I discovered I was allergic to tomatoes when we grew our own. I had fresh tomatoes almost every day, often 2 or 3x/day. I was breaking out in tiny zits & thought too much bacon! So I quit the bacon & it got even worse!! So now I only eat tomato every other day or 3. I'm sorry sometimes if I get a "tomato hangover" but rarely a rash; tomatoes are worth the risk!

Sorry, TMI

I tried a concoction that was only 80% successful but at least I know what to fix next time.
I wanted to make lasagna but I dislike the bechamel as it is just too caloric. And my boyfriend doesn't eat cheese which makes any baked foods very hard to achieve. I already tested once that if you blend tofu (and cream and egg) it bakes nicely.
So I did a sort of lasagna I can't really call that.
The red sauce was made from leftover eggplant and red lentils, the white sauce was tofu, Greek yoghurt, preserved lemon and fresh basil. And there was a layer of eggplant and a layer of lasagna pasta. And for fun, layer of spinach )

The eggplant needs to be baked/cooked before. Or chopped into pieces and cooked in the red sauce. No idea why leaving it salted for 20 minutes and baking for 40 results in a not cooked eggplant. This is the lesson ) but otherwise I loved it, boyfriend loved it and it was high protein meal! And I have leftovers!! Always love that.

Concoction will most likely not be appreciated by anyone but I enjoy experiencing.

You could call it "Bio-Hazard"
