Slivers of real butter on freshly baked bread, americano coffee.... Nothing like it
This one I threw in fresh rosemary and thyme from my window box herb garden
Yesterday's I made with cheese mixed in
Recently, I'm doing the starving artist thing, so 2015 food has been mostly popcorn and frozen vegetables. But, there's pork tenderloin and peach cobbler circling my imagination -- and maybe a bottle of pink Bollinger to top things off! ;-)
for breakfast I just had oatmeal but for lunch I will be having homemade creamy vegetable soup with a rich base of pureed butternut squash and coconut milk with some grated Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
If you are an oatmeal person, ya gotta try steel cut...it takes 30 minutes to cook but you can make a batch for the whole week. It's the difference between instant coffee and brewed coffee.
I add cinnamon, red berries and a spoonful of vanilla yogurt....yum!
My favorite red meat is lamb, so you had me at gyro, Mark!
Chicken strips coated in panko and Parmesan thrown into the oven. Chopped up and tossed with some mayo in a bowl. Slap it onto couple pieces of bread and delicious.
Excellent question. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays it's quinoa with pesto. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays it's salmon fillet with salad, and Saturdays I have home made pizza and a bottle of wine. It's been that way every day for years now.
Amstel Light....as if that's going to counter the calories in the pie... :)
No Joann, it won't. But it is the quality of life that the personal touch of a home prepared meal will override the vanity of counting calories. Microwaved frozen diners and drive through windows will degrade your quality of life and sense of well being much faster than the more intimate pleasures derived from something you have taken the time to prepare in your own kitchen. It's like slowing down to smell the roses; sure you're not getting to point B any sooner, but it makes the trip much more meaningful. And isn't that what life really aught to be about?
Tonight's pizza is topped with locally grown asperagus, carmalized red onion and sage on a rustic made from scratch crust. The wine is a 2011 Valpolicella Ripasso.
At the moment, I am nibbling on Guittard semisweet chocolate chips, long after dinner. (I happen to be one of those people that can eat anything and not gain weight...!)
Karl, you are so right, and your pizza with asparagus, red onion, & sage on a homemade rustic crust sounds divine! I think it may be the next one I make! :)
My cheap and good recieipe for rice tuna salad (artists can always need cheap receipes):
-make rice
-heat oil and dried chilies in a frypan to put the capsaicin into the oil
(eventually remove chilies, the oil is spicy now. this also works great with chickenin small strips id you add chili powder afterwards which makes it really spicy)
-add tuna to the frypan and fry.
-mix with the rice, add pickles, cumcumber or what you like (i think the vinegar from the pickles is a good sauce for this,at last with the small pickled onions)
