What's cookin', good lookin'? Part II

[shmily]

leftovers - homemade chicken manicotti with a salad.

Roasted rutabaga, parsnips, and zucchini. Oh! so good but rutabagas are already gone from the stores. *pouts*

The veggie soup wasn't bad either.

Seriously? I thought that was their chief advantage over a lot of veggies: they keep all winter into the spring. Dont they wax them in the South?

I guess they were all bought up!?

I, among other things, fed people roasted Jerusalem artichokes today. They were so good!

What goes into your faux versions?

 

[seela]

Sweet potato, black beans and tomatoes with spinach and such. Topped with a poached egg and parsley on the plate.

 

[seela]

Roast beef, potato-parsnip puree and some other veggies depending on what I can find in the fridge.

I got a new wireless thermometer for Christmas and I'm going to use it for the first time today.

Edit: I truly live in the future now. Such a cool gadget.

Yesterday's roast was so good, I'm happy to have leftovers.

Lunch: salad with the leftover roast.
Dinner: Black bean and tomato soup with fresh baked rolls. I have a day off and I'm in need of some dough therapy, so why not.

 

[seela]

Okay, the bread rolls turned out to be the best I've ever made. The texture is great with a crunchy crust but soft on the inside. I used the leftover parsnip potato puree from yesterday and some teff flour in my rolls too, and they're just so damn tasty.

I slightly(? TBD) injured myself in the baking process, so I'm really glad they at least turned out tasty. I didn't hurt myself for naught.

 

[seela]

Frittata with eggplant, spinach and feta and salad.

Everything's ready to go, just need someone to come and put the frittata in the oven for me and take it out. Because I ain't gonna be doing any of that for a good while.

Yay thanks!

Let's hope the eggs are still okay by the time you get here.

Note to Walmart: Sprinkling bird seed on the dough does not make it "whole grain".

Speaking of breads, what's the difference between white and wheat? I always thought white is wheat, until I was asked if I want white or wheat. Actually the question didn't compute at all and I thought I was asked if I want "wide or wheat" and was very confused. Whatever.

Short answer, wheat bread incorporates the bran rather than just the endosperm. Perhaps it makes more sense if you know that another name for "wheat" is "whole grain."

Thanks, whole grain makes sense.

stir fry beef with veggies!

Artichoke hearts...I can't believe I ate the whole jar. *burp* Excuse me.

Fresh pimento cheese mixed up and fresh cottage cheese salad sitting in a bowl to mingle the seasoning.

 

[seela]

Veggie Thai red curry. I'm having leftovers for lunch today. So yum!

Also kind of unhealthy. I should find healthier foods that are easy to make and I love.

 

[soltiera]

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy....I missed it during the holidays!
